One of the best decisions I have made

My divorce was, as most are, contentious. Robin instantly made me feel at ease. I felt that she understood me and my case. She was the perfect blend of knowledgeable professional, aggressive (when necessary) lawyer and empathetic advisor. My outcome was better than anticipated and she ensured that th...e impact to me, my career and my children was as minimalized as possible. She is truly a master of her craft. I highly recommend Robin Grant. Thank you Robin.

Robin Huggins- Fantastic lawyer

I hired Robin to help me with my divorce settlement and to address the bullying I'd been experiencing from my ex- husband. From the very beginning, her focus was on what was best for my kids and I knew I had a great lawyer that would represent my interests very well. Since, she's been amazing. Got ...started working on my case right away and continues to be very prompt and available to me. She is a very kind woman and a strong attorney. I've recommended her to others and will continue to do so.

Lawyer that gets you results

Mrs. Huggins was my lawyer in a divorce matter and my children were at stake. I have always had a very close relationship with my kids and wanted to continue that. My x-wife was not cooperative at all with coming to a reasonable agreement. Being a male in law enforcement, i was definitely fighting a...n uphill battle. I chose 2 lawyers prior to hiring Mrs. Huggins and lost bad in court. I than decided to hire Mrs. Huggins to represent me. Mrs. Huggins is very ethical, professional gave me sound advice to what she felt was reasonable but left the decisions up to me. Mrs. Huggins was able to get me custody of my children. And save my retirement. I am grateful to Mrs. Huggins for protecting me in family court. I wholeheartedly recommend Robin as an excellent top notch family law attorney.

Very good attorney..... for a simple divorce

I hired Ms. Huggins to represent me in my divorce with a child. During my initial consultation she seemed very aggressive and gave me advice that was different from the other attorneys I had spoken to. Her approach seemed very no-nonsense and thought we could accomplish my goals at one time as oppo...sed to in parts as others had suggested. When I retained her, I was told that my case would be flagged as low budget and she would let me do things, if possible, instead of paying her firm to do them. I really liked Ms. Huggins. She was straight forward, honest and professional. She was always available within a reasonable time and immediately reachable when needed. When negotiating with opposing counsel, she fought for not only what I wanted, but what was fair and best for my child. I was pleased with the results, however, I was not pleased with what happened in the courtroom and a little surprised that she was asking for a recommendation while only having spent a few weeks on my case. I was kind of in the dark as to how the process works. As a result, it took almost 3 months from the time my ex was served from the time we filed the OSC. I was told that the judge could make child support retroactive to the date of separation (or the date I filed my OSC), but because she was not aggressive in any of my court appearances about child support, I did not receive a child support order for more than a year from the date I retained Ms. Huggins. Because my ex was not working, the judge did not make the order retroactive meaning that I am not going to be reimbursed for 20 months of day care or medical expenses let alone any child support when I have had full custody of my child. The total loss was close to $10,000. Less than a week before a court hearing, I received a call telling me that Ms. Huggins had "retired" from Kring & Chung and was given the name of the attorney that was going to replace her. I thought that it was incredibly unprofessional that she didn't bother to call me and let me know she was leaving, especially so close to a court date. If you have a case that is able to be worked out with negotiations and a soon-to-be ex that is reasonable to deal with, Ms. Huggins would be an excellent choice. In my case, while I understand that my ex's attorney was partly to blame, I feel that I paid a lot of money with not a lot to show for it.

Due to client confidentiality, I will not comment on the specifics of this client's case. Sometimes clients misunderstand what is or was said, sometimes there are exceptions to general principles, sometimes there are bad rulings, sometimes a judge sees things differently than either I or my client does. Attorneys are just people, albeit highly educated people. We are entitled to our privacy on personal matters and, while this might affect a client, I make sure to leave my clients in capable hands whenever I cannot personally attend to a case, for whatever reason.

Divorce Attorney

Robin was my attorney for my divorce. I found her to be very thorough, I was kept well informed of all the proceedings and steps as we went through the process. I found it an extremely stressful experience, but the support and professionalism from Mrs Huggins I found a great support and reassurance.... I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to anyone else in this unfortunate situation.
