When Weld was appointed United States Assistant Attorney General he chose Robinson to serve as his chief of staff.

When Weld was elected Governor of Massachusetts in 1990 he chose Robinson to serve as his chief of staff.[4] In 1993, Robinson was appointed Secretary of Administration and Finance of Massachusetts.[5] He left the Weld administration in 1994 to work for Bingham Dana & Gould.[6] In 2015 he joined Mintz Levin.[7]
