Finest Possible Advocate

I was very nervous about this process. Yet, Robin always understood my hopes and exceeded my expectations. Diligent, caring, deeply informed, strategic on my behalf, a stickler for deadlines. She understood the difficult emotions of my case immediately. Robin quickly became my strongest advocate a...nd collaborated with me from day-one. My case was complex and yet she never missed a detail or nuance. She came highly recommended to me and then delivered each and every day. She is always personable and professional. If I could give her 6 stars, I would.

Simply the BEST

Thank God for Robin Nottingham! I found her by chance searching the internet for a female attorney. Robin gave me her personal attention at the lowest time in my life. I had a previous attorney that just wasn’t helping me and was more interested in money than getting me divorced. After I released my ...first attorney, Robin had me divorced a month later! Robin gave me calm when I needed it, was always available when I needed her, and was very responsive to my calls and e-mails. She was very thorough and did her research and due diligence when it came to my JOD. Robin is compassionate and very good at her work. If you want the BEST, Robin Nottingham is who you need. Robin has been worth every dollar I invested with her!

Legal Excellence + Compassion = Results Simply the Best!!!

I give this Legal Team 5 Stars this is why......With over 43 years of experience Robin Nottingham who is a Certified Specialist in Family Law is amazing. Her assistant Cassandra Ayala made sure I had all documents needed to review and she followed up on all details. What a great team!!! I had the pos...itive experience of working with Robin Nottingham 10 years ago, so when another legal matter came up I knew exactly who to call. She helped me with the understanding of the family code, she listened to my concerns and answered all my questions and then formulated a legal plan of action. When I reviewed any documents that were to be presented to the court there were no changes needed, just perfect. Robin Nottingham was always available if I had any questions or concerns through the process. Her heart is in her work. In my case we did need a Specialist for the creation of a Domestic Relations Order Robin's expert was Elizabeth Van Clief in La Jolla, when timelines were changed to meet a court hearing Elizabeth met the deadlines beautifully. Robin Nottingham will fight for you, no other Family Law Specialist would you want in your court. Sometimes you just have to "Fight like a Girl".

What a Lawyer!!

What a lawyer we found, at just the right time! Our family is eternally grateful to Robin Notingham for her stellar legal representation! She not only provided outstanding legal counsel, but she gave above and beyond personal attention, time, and step by step guidance to where no one else could com...pare! Her moral and ethical standards prevailed in every circumstance so as not to compromise her, nor our Christian standards. We must share what a "legal gem" she is and we would whole heartedly recommend her counsel to anyone in need of family law services!

Blessed by the BEST!

I sought the counsel of Robin Nottingham at an incredibly turbulent time in my life. I was in a state of shock, panic and confusion, after unexpectedly being served divorce papers (at work). Robin was referred to me as one of the top Family Law experts in San Diego. Upon my initial call, Robin picked... up her cell phone while walking to the Downtown Courthouse, saying she had a few minutes to talk. This struck me as something unique and refreshing, considering that most legal offices have layers of ‘gatekeepers’ to pass through before ever speaking with the Principal Attorney. Furthermore, she explained that she was about to leave town, but could meet me the following morning, a Saturday at 7:30am, for a free consultation. When we met, I felt an immediate connection, and throughout the divorce process, I continued to feel supported and empowered by her. • With Robin’s extensive experience, thorough research into case law & legal precedent, and her astute perception of human behavior, she tackled the complexities unique to my case. • Robin was compassionate and understanding, and during the more difficult and emotional moments, she was patient, reassuring and able to lead me back to the critical matters at hand and stay on target to achieve our goals. • She Set timetables to keep me on track, and was always ahead of filing dates and critical court deadlines. • Robin was responsive to my every call, text, question or need throughout the litigation. I never waited long to hear back from her, even if just to advise that she was in court and would get back to me at a specified time. • She is 100% a professional, and presents herself as courteous, well-organized and we’ll-informed in court and related interactions. • Robin is razor sharp and strategic in her litigation style... she determines when to wait out a move from the opposing client/councel, and when to make the next tactical move at a critical moment of vulnerability. • Robin is a tireless dynamo ...relentless and ready to pull out all the stops to achieve the best advantage & results for her clients. • Robin truly CARES! My divorce was highly complex and conflicted. But in the end, we achieved a settlement far better than originally hoped for. I credit Robin Nottingham for this incredible outcome, and feel so blessed to have been represented by the BEST!
