Great Lawyer, Highly Recommend

I recently worked with Ronique as she took my situation from a losing one to the end result I wanted. She came onto my case after my initial lawyer really screwed things up. I was very pleased to work with her and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone going through a divorce. To go into a little more... detail, Ronique essentially fixed my situation. My ex-spouse hired a very aggressive lawyer who accused me of everything possible (literally) despite no evidence and painted me as an absentee parent which was not at all the case. My prior lawyer did a terrible job and from what I can tell, essentially rolled out of bed the morning of the hearing and went into court with near zero preparation. This initially resulted in me paying child support and loss of primary custody. Ronique fixed it and was worth every penny – she got me to 50% custody and a 50% split of postmarital assets, what I wanted from the start. She dealt with two very difficult opposing counsels effectively and was great to work with on my side. Her research and preparation for both trial and mediation were impressive. Again, I highly recommend Ronique. Every case is different and there are no guarantees, but she has what it takes.

$80k+ to this firm to lose

This firm only sees clients as a paycheck. Everything filed was done late or not at all, showed up hearings tired, “need more coffee” unprepared. Lost custody of my 2.5yo daughter to man with a court ordered failed drug test for amphetamines, over $24k in arrears child support, history of domestic ab...use and arrested for sexual assault. They put in 4 pieces of evidence of 100+, didn’t call any of our witnesses, and said they don’t file frivolous motions when I asked for an appeal…turns out they did not preserve our case for appeal after reading the transcripts. This firm dug our family into a hole we are still fighting to get out of, absolutely awful.

While I can't address the specific facts of your case due to my continued obligation to your privacy and attorney client privilege, I will say, it is unfortunate that you feel as you do about our services. We as a firm appreciate your feedback as we know that hearing from and responding to our clients only serves to improve our abilities to assist. We did give your case a considerable amount of time and attention and we were disappointed the judge did not rule in your favor more than a year ago. We did continue to fight for you and your daughter for several months thereafter and got you back in front of a different judge who did not exhibit any overt prejudice against you due to prior proceedings. We do wish you the best as we know that you will always place the needs of your daughter first and foremost. Good luck in your future endeavors.

RESTORED PEACE OF MIND, MONETARY , COMPLETE RESOLVE.

First Results: Attorney fought for me, resulting in Alimony, (married under two years). Second Time around: Peace of Mind, and everything I asked for in this divorce. I am in the Longshore Industry, where you have no access to retirement awards, however, Attorney Ronique, is equipped with QDRO Exp...erts, who ensure you access to your monies, at your conveniences... Professional, Courteous, and Compassionate; all the traits of Victors'. Forever Grateful and Thankful to Attorney Roniques Bastine Robinson. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, Attorney Ronique Bastine Robinson, for your " Family Matters."

THE BEST !!!!!

The Bastine Law Firm is an AWESOME LEGAL PRACTICE led by Ronique Bastine Robinson. I needed a knowledgeable, experienced, caring lawyer to handle my rather complicated divorce. What I got was a team of professionals with those qualities! Mrs. Bastine Robinson is articulate, efficient and result or...iented! She took care of everything in a timely manner that really took all anxiety off my shoulders especially since I was also battling a major health issue. HIRE THIS LADY...YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. Rest assured, she and her team will be your BEST ADVOCATES..... Dana Evans (formerly Parrish)

EXCELLENT IN ALL OF HER WAYS; I WAS AWARDED SPOUSAL SUPPORT AND MARRIED LESS THAN TWO YEARS

Living in my car, my life was in an uproar, I was completely stressed out, being faced with a divorce, based on nothing but untruths...Ronique Bastine Robinson, rescued me from a horrific situation , that was spiraling downward...My Attorney quickly calmed all of my fears and anxieties, with her kee...n ability to assess my situation, show compassion, and fast action planning. With her profound knowledge of the law, she was able to , expose the manipulator, and get everything we asked for from the judge, including spousal support, (we were married less than two years), and a peace of mind. Excellent in all of her ways, Ronique is "The Best Lawyer On This Side of Heaven!" Look no further; she is a , "For Sure Win."

Family lawyer | Mar 21

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ronique Bastine Robinson has for more than 25-years provided recognizably superior legal services in the area of family law--in particular concerning child custody, modifications, and divorce engagements. I have collaborated with Ms. Bastine Robinson for the past 17-years on family law matters in relation to my corporate and business practice areas involving high-level corporate clients (e.g., CEOs, managers, etc.), companies, and limited lower-costs individual client related matters. Ronique demonstrates the required work ethic expected of a superior legal mind, but more importantly she offers strategic wisdom, courtroom presence and trial skill excellence, and an undeniable canny for gaining client success. In a world where client satisfaction and legal talent concerning ability is often falling short, Ms. Bastine Robinson does not fall short in providing superior legal service and meeting client expectations. I unreservedly endorse Ronique for all family law needs"
