Robin Martin

Born and raised in Colorado, I have a natural appreciation for nature. I love spending time with my family, including my four children (three of which are no longer “children”). In my free time you can find me behind a camera lens, reading a book, writing, volunteering, or cooking. In 2002 I found myself a young mother trying to navigate a difficult and unsafe situation. A pro bono attorney ended up helping me navigate both an Allocation of Parental Responsibilities (“APR”) case and a protection order. I was so grateful for his assistance that I was inspired to help others who were in my situation as well – overwhelmed by the process and in need of guidance. In 2009 I started my career as a family law paralegal in Boulder, Colorado. Through the next fifteen years, I worked with four firms in the Boulder and Denver County areas. My first firm where I spent six years, I was inspired by the attorney I worked for who offered mediation and arbitration in addition to his litigation practice in family law. It was thrilling to see family law cases being handled with such a firm grounding for resolution where an agreement was able to be reached. The last six years of my paralegal career was spent at another firm with an attorney who also prioritized settlement over litigation. These two attorneys gave me a solid foundation for conflict resolution. In 2014, I was encouraged by the attorney I worked for to attend the mediation training with the legendary and incredibly talented Judy Mares-Dixon, M.A., through the Colorado Bar Association. After completing the 40-hour training, I obtained my Mediation Certificate. In December, 2024, I made the decision to put that certificate to good use. I started working on a journey focused more on my passion for helping folks, specifically through conflict resolution, rather than through a litigation lens. My time as a paralegal offered me an opportunity to assist people during difficult moments in their lives. I took phone calls from clients experiencing fear, anger, and all the other stages of grief. Because I was the intermediate between the client and the attorney, I had a specialized role that was far more supportive emotionally to clients, which I loved. Being in the realm of family law for a decade and a half, I am apprised of the Court procedures and deadlines. I am familiar with the process of dissolution, legal separation and allocation of parental responsibility cases and guide clients through them from a general information standpoint while leaving the legal advice to the attorneys. Trained in Colorado Civil Rules of Procedure, relevant statutes and the basic timeline for cases is extremely beneficial as it relates to the complete resolution of a domestic case.
