Divorce

Robyn represented me in my divorce, she did an excellent job. She was very honest and forthcoming, not only did she save me money but her and her staff worked diligently into the eleventh hour to get me a favorable result. As the saying goes "She knows her stuff". I would give her 10 stars if I coul...d, I highly recommend her...

A Shining Star in New Jersey

Robyn is a shining star in the community of NJ divorce attorney’s, a major cut above the rest and highly respected by clients, judges, mediators and court staff alike. I went through a very long and highly contentious divorce and I honestly don’t think I could have gotten through it without Robyn at ...my side. Smart and passionate, she aggressively championed my case without being overbearing or annoying. She has the rare ability to stay calm and focused, even under the most stressful of situations. Robyn is always thinking 2-3 steps ahead of the process and is very direct about letting you know the realities of NJ divorce law so you will never get blindsided. She never lets you give up in exasperation when something less than fair comes your way. With regard to billing, she does not waste your money on trivial issues or jack up your bill with ridiculous fees. It’s a major comfort to have such a sharp, tenacious and well-respected pro on your side. I wouldn’t even consider anyone else, but if you’re looking for someone to represent you, you better act fast—she is a hidden gem and on the verge of becoming very big in her field.

Disappointed

I had high expectations but was very disappointed. Never followed through with things that she said she would execute. Lawyer made mistakes and I was charged for the time spent.

Confident in the Courtroom

Robyn was referred to me by a friend when I needed to discuss a pending divorce. From the beginning, Robyn's professionalism and emotional intelligence helped me navigate one of the most challenging situations a person could face. Robyn’s attention to detail coupled with her experience make her a va...lued adviser for any family or divorce legal matter in the State of NJ. One of her most outstanding attributes is her ability to "own" the courtroom. If you need someone with a strong sense of confidence to stand along your side in a family court ...Robyn Ross is your woman!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
