Attorney Robson is a graduate of the University of
Rochester (B.A.); Wheelock College, Boston, MA (M.Ed.)
and Northeastern University School of Law, Boston, MA
(J.D.) This dual credentialing in child development and
law has aided and influenced her priorities and her
practice of law. She was admitted to practice law in
Connecticut and the United States District Court in
Connecticut in 1988. She is a member of the Connecticut
and Hartford County Bar associations.
Recognizing the need to help divorcing families reach
agreement on difficult parenting and financial issues,
in ways that would preserve the family while dissolving
the marriage, her practice has been devoted primarily to
non-adversarial methods of divorce. Court intervention
often serves the unintended consequence of further
rupturing the vulnerable bonds between spouses and
between parents and children.
Since receiving her mediation training in 1992, she
has emphasized mediation in her practice of family law.
She has served as Director of the Family Law Mediation
Service at the Institute of Living, where she
co-mediated with a child & adolescent psychiatrist ; and
more recently in her own practice.
She was a Charter member of the Connecticut Council
of Divorce Mediators and continues on its Board of
Directors. She spearheaded the founding of the
Connecticut Collaborative Divorce Lawyers network in
Hartford, CT.
She serves as a Special Master in the Hartford, New
Britain and Middletown Courts; she has been called upon
to speak on the topics of Divorce Mediation and the
Divorce and Children, by private schools; national
associations and the UConn School of Law.
She views Collaborative Law as a powerful new way for
clients to keep control of the unpredictable expense and
outcomes of the divorce process while having an
experienced advocate as a partner in all negotiations of
the divorce. |
