David G. Robins currently serves as an Assistant United States Attorney in the District of Idaho.

Mr. Robins was born and raised in Colorado. Being of modest means, he chose military service to finance his education. He joined the Air Force despite having never previously flown on an airplane. The military recognized that he was unabashedly nerdy and assigned him to the National Air and Space Intelligence Center. There, he did counterinsurgency work and uranium enrichment facility analyses.  Mr. Robins, fueled by near-lethal amounts of caffeine, was able to earn a bachelor’s degree on active duty. While he was proud to serve, he longed to return to the mountain west and become a lawyer. Idaho was a natural pick. He attended law school at the University of Idaho and graduated with honors. Thereafter, he served as a state prosecutor for several years. He handled hundreds of diverse criminal cases and worked as the prosecutor for the North Idaho Sex Offender Task Force. He progressed to lead many high-profile cases, including a capital murder jury trial. In 2018, Mr. Robins joined the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Idaho as an AUSA. He continues to handle a diverse caseload, but he primarily prosecutes child sex crime cases.
