When Asian massage parlors are raided in the District, lawyer Wendell C. Robinson often gets a call.

Robinson’s name turns up in court records defending six accused prostitutes arrested in the raids of four alleged brothels.

“I’ve litigated against him in a couple massage parlor cases,” said Michael Sachdev of D.C.’s Attorney General’s Office. “I’ve learned that he has represented prostitutes in these types of cases as well.”
