Robin Lynch Nardone has more than 25 years of experience helping clients through challenging family law matters, from premarital planning to divorce and post-divorce modifications. She specializes in high net-worth divorces, high-conflict custody/parenting disputes, and parentage actions. Robin also handles removal cases, child support and alimony actions, and adoption. Robin is a litigator as well as a trained family law mediator, and in that capacity, helps couples amicably resolve family law issues through informed negotiation.
Robin is adept at managing serious and pressing concerns of her clients. For each client, she starts by understanding their goals, what is most important to them and why. Her clients have unique needs and Robin devises sophisticated legal strategies to meet them.
Robin is known for her straightforward practicality – her goal is to help clients navigate their often difficult, emotionally charged situations and come out whole on the other side. She educates her clients on reasonable outcomes and how the law applies to their situation, allowing them to meaningfully participate in the decisions that will have a significant impact on their lives.
As part of her work at Bowditch, Robin is co-editor of the firm’s All in the Family blog.
