• How much does it cost to hire Robin for a family law case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Robin walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Robin offer a free consultation?

  Robin charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Robin's office. Some family law attorneys offer free consults — check Robin's current terms during booking.

• How long do family law cases in Massachusetts typically take?

  Simple family law matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Robin gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Robin take my case if I'm outside North Andover?

  Robin is licensed in Massachusetts. Matters governed by Massachusetts law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Robin will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Robin?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Robin will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Robin accepting new family law clients right now?

  Robin's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
