About
All I do is family law, all day, every day. It's what I've done exclusively for over 20 years. Every family law attorney is a little bit different; choosing an attorney is intensely personal. You should be certain your attorney's personality and philosophy of family law are consistent with yours.At one point in my life, I was where you are now. When I divorced, I gave up a lot in the hope that my ex-husband and I would be able to move forward and co-parent our two children effectively in two households. Unfortunately, that was not to be. My ex-husband had no real interest in working with me as a co-parent. When the opportunity arose for us to resolve a difficult issue regarding our children, he chose to file in court rather than work with me.As a client, what I learned was that the court is not a good place for families. Judges don't care about your children. Heck, they don't even remember you once you leave their courtroom; I later appeared as an attorney before the judge who heard my case and I also delivered my annual holiday cookies to him, and he had no memory that he had seen me before or heard my case. My first attorney treated me as if I knew nothing and didn't care what I wanted for my family. My second attorney represented me ably and recognized that it was my life and I should be a partner in the decisions affecting me and my family. My case finally settled, but not before causing damage from that first hearing, the first attorney and to my child's mental health. I wish I could say my case was unusual, but it wasn't. It convinced me more than anything else that the courtroom should be the last resort for a family dispute.My philosophy is simple: it's not my life; it's yours. My job is to make sure that two things happen: first, that you clarify your vision for your life, post divorce or custody case; and second, that you choose the right process for your vision to become a reality. What that means for you is that we work together as a team, sharing information, brainstorming and problem solving. I provide you support, information and help you advocate for yourself and your family even as I am advocating for you. I help you decide whether mediation, collaborative divorce, traditional negotiation or litigation are the correct process for you and your family; and I support and guide you through whatever process you choose as right for you. You are never alone. I care what happens to you and your family.

Ms. Robbins quickly understood the difficulties of my child custody case and was able to strategize a straightforward approach. Her ability to read the judge/courtroom proceedings was instrumental in winning our case.
She always kept me grounded, Focused on what was real and important and what did not matter. As you are going thru a divorce you can very easily get caught up in the little things that make your blood boil. I had conversations with Karen where she had to get "real" with me and help me remember what really matters. She focused on my goals and what I needed to get out of the divorce. She was a blessing, Her knowledge of the law is amazing. Very Happy with my results.
Great job with all of my tribulations !! You Made it seamless, and tolerable Thank you so...so much for all your assistance.
Karen not only was considerate of my situation, but extremely helpful to get the ball rolling and be mindful of all parties. She always helped me play devil's advocate in the event I would have to look at things in another way to not have too much emotion. Karen was exceptional at communication and I would recommend her to anyone!
Going through a divorce is a very stressful ordeal. I recommend her, she is very hands on and takes the time to explain things.There were no surprises she is very well-versed!
We had a goal and we reached it. She went above what I had expected. I highly recommend her.
Ms. Robbins and Crystal are a good team. They kept me abreast on how my case was proceeding through the court system and informed me in detail what was required of me. Ms. Robbins is easy to talk to and her rates are reasonable. I recommend her highly for legal matters pertaining to family law.
Karen provided very comprehensive and specific pre nuptial services. She gave us a checklist of goals then we reviewed it together. The draft of the agreement was tailored to our needs and very clear. Overall very satisfied with all the services rendered.
Karen is amazing. She is extremely professional and level headed and can move your case forward without unnecessary drama and expense. She is extremely knowledgeable and competent and is conscientious in handling the case in the manner her client wants it handled. She was very flexible and willing to suggest methods that would save money where possible rather than just running up a bill. I hired Karen after working with another attorney who was not able to make any progress in my case and Karen was able to efficiently work with the opposing attorney to reach an agreement and conclude the case. I am extremely grateful for Karen's expertise and effectiveness and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing legal assistance for a separation/ divorce or any other legal matter.
She was always willing to meet and discussed the case as needed. Provided immediate answers and was honest in all interactions. Highly recommend her!
