About
Originally from the West Coast, Robyn Barrett left not-so-sunny San Francisco in 2010, for a much balmier South Florida for the purpose of attending law school. Prior to embarking on this new journey, Robyn had a successful career as a multi-million dollar fundraiser, in both the political arena and for non-profit organizations. She served as the deputy finance director for distinguished San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom (now Governor), who dominated national headlines when he began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples contrary to state laws.Then, she served as finance director for Steve Westly's gubernatorial campaign in California, where she managed campaign donations, procured sizeable contributions, and worked with a variety of high net worth individuals throughout Silicon Valley. Subsequent to working in the political arena, she was the major giving officer for San Francisco Opera’s 55+MM budget; acquiring the largest donation to date, a seven-figure gift from a local billionaire for the opera’s endowment fund. Additionally, Robyn was responsible for establishing the partnership between the Opera and San Francisco’s Gay Pride Celebration by creating a free main stage community performance during the summer-time festival.Throughout her law school tenure, Robyn had the privilege of interning with the State Attorney’s Office in the Sex Crimes Unit, drafting dozens of pre-trial motions and helping to secure many convictions. In 2013, she wrote an extensive memorandum of law on Williams Rule Evidence in child abuse cases, which she later adapted into an article for Nova Law Review, where she served as an editor.Prior entering private practice, Robyn worked tirelessly as an Assistant State Attorney in Broward County, Florida helping keep the community safe from a myriad of predators. While managing a heavy caseload, she has researched, drafted and litigated hundreds of pre-trail motions and brought over 50 trials to verdict.Robyn maintains a discrete concierge-type practice in the areas of family & criminal law as well as civil litigation, which ensure her clients always receive her immediate and undivided attention when needed. Robyn is an avid yogi, very active in animal rescue, and splits her time between Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Phoenix, Arizona.

Reviews
First off, I rarely write reviews, but this one HAD to be put out there. It may be more of a novel, but I feel that it is totally worthy to give her and her team (Step) high accolades that are very deserving !! When I first met Robyn ( yes we are on a first name basis now and I'll explain that further) I was mad as hell at my husband and the crap he had put me through, I was scared because of his tactic's of controlling me. So Robyn met a woman that was scared, beaten down and a low self esteem. I didn't see and couldn't see a future ahead for me ! Our meeting was brief and not overwhelming to me because Robyn knew just how to get the answers of what I wanted and most importantly what she needed to know about my marriage and where I wanted to go. I hired her the next day and to be honest, I did not get a 2nd option as many do and you should if you feel the need, I got great vibes off of her I have never regretted not one second. My STBX was making things difficult, and I soon realized that Robyn gave me the strength to move ahead with my life, and I left the State I was living in for PEACE while my divorce was being handled. I cannot even express how much stress that took off of me. I lost weight, my happiness and laughter returned, the Gone Me WENT away and the old happy me returned in spades. Robyn kept in touch with me, just about my well-being, that was huge to me, She was there for many personal aspects of my new life and rejoiced with me and cheered me on! She completely took over and I never worried once that I would fall through the cracks, and when opposing counsel was dragging, she took the bull by the horns and go it done. This lovely woman is not only an amazing person, but a killer Attorney and I am blessed to call her a friend. She is an Attorney that you would want to at least have a consult with, and I couldn't imagine why you wouldn't hire her.
Ms. Barrett handled 2 cases for me. The first was a totally unfounded domestic violence injunction. After the common court delays & continuances by opposing council we had our day in court. This resulted in a successful outcome with the injunction being dismissed due to insufficient evidence from the petitioner. The second case was for dissolution of marriage which was highly contested. The case was awaiting a final hearing after Ms.. Barrett successfully negotiated a settlement agreement when the petitioner unexpectedly passed away. In both cases Ms. Barrett was very professional, always kept me informed & was prompt in responding to my questions or concerns. In my judgement Ms.. Barrett was better versed on the law than the judges she appeared before. I would highly recommend Ms. Barrett in any kind of family law actions you may gave. You won't regret hiring Ms. Robyn Barrett!
Robyn is amazing! I brought her in halfway to divorce but should have called her at the start! She took the time to understand my situation, asked questions I never thought to ask, and was an honest, objective voice for every issue that came up during my divorce. Extremely knowledgeable about the system and how to leverage your position. She gave options and explained all possible outcomes. I never had to wait for a responsive. Ever. She always responded quickly, even on weekends and when on vacation! I was never left hanging or wondering. By contrast, my ex’s attorney was crazy expensive and never responded timely. Huge difference! Having Robyn right at my side boosted my confidence…it was like having a super weapon at my disposal! Thanks to Robyn I never stepped foot in a courtroom and I’m now officially single and happy with the financial outcome. Thanks Robyn!!! -(Newly) single dad with kids and a difficult ex
Robyn was my lawyer in a pretty complicated and messy custody battle. With only a couple of weeks to prepare she focused on the safety of my children and didn’t hold back when it came to preparation. She and her team communicated everything throughout the process to ensure I was happy, supported and prepared. I would highly recommend her and her team!
I can't say enough great things about Modern Law!! Hiring an Attorney is always nerve wracking and scary. Robin, Nancy and Heather jumped right in and gave us so much peace in our Family Law case. They are extremely thorough and truly care. You will genuinely feel like you have a friend in your corner. I will never use anyone else and will always keep Modern Law in my back pocket! Seriously if you're stress searching, reading all the Law Firm reviews looking for an Attorney (like I was), stop and reach out to Robin at Modern Law NOW!
Robyn stepped in when our original attorney had to go on paternity leave. Robyn got up to speed on our case quickly and efficiently. She was always available for our questions and concerns. She helped us prepare our case in the best way and we received the outcome we desired. We highly recommend Robyn for your family law needs.
Attorney Robyn Barrett genuinely cares about her clients. She goes the extra mile for her clients and puts her self in their position so that she can come up with the best strategy to help her clients. She is honest to a fault, responsive, and takes the time to explain exactly what is going on with your case. I highly recommend her.
I met Robyn in September over a restraining order my husband put on me. I was scared and confused and got her name from a friend. I called her and left a message and got a call back shortly after. We talked and I explained my situation Robyn immediately made me feel at ease that all will be resolved. I finally met her face to face and was Instantly relieved from any further concerns regarding my case. She was prepared she was professional and she was on point with the laws protecting me. Not only did I hire professional representation I made a new friend. Robyn is a lawyer that truly cares about her clients.
She got all my charges dropped. Every time I text her she always text me right back! I’ve never had an attorney that is so caring and in constant communication with me about updates on my case and in the end everything nolle prosse.
...radiate from Robyn's persona. She was always professional but never cold or aloof. She always made me feel at ease and protected.
