About Robin J Wright

No two family law matters are the same. Some are relatively simple, others quite complicated. Some focus on children, others on finances. Often the focus is on both. Regardless, it's important to figure out the client's priorities and help them work toward these goals. Robin's experience in juvenile court and criminal law enable her to bring creativity and insight into family law cases that fall outside the standard family law box. She works hard to educate clients about their options, then move forward with the client's goals foremost in mind. A calm but dogged advocate, Robin is comfortable resolving cases both in and out of the courtroom. Robin understands the legal and practical choices clients must make and that education and thorough preparation can help reduce the stress that often accompanies family and juvenile law cases. When not helping clients, Robin enjoys spending time with her family, including her two grown children. Passionate about following politics and current events, Robin also follows her husband literally as the stoker on their tandem bicycle (one way to be sure she keeps up with him!). She also loves the creative challenge of pulling in fresh ingredients to cook with from whatever is in season in her garden.
