Robin Sax, JD and MSW, is an experienced attorney, mediator, and clinical therapist. Robin accepts a limited number of legal cases, but her primary practice is as a consultant and mediator where she advises people on how to navigate through legal matters complicated by either a therapeutic element or emotionally charged parties and/or issues.

Robin works with victims of crimes as well as those accused. She has advised victims of sexual assault, harassment and bullying, divorcing couples, and parents who need assistance in determining a co-parenting plan or custody plan, as well as those facing false accusations. Robin works with clients who want to avoid court, those who have cases pending in court, those considering filing a case, as well as people who have administrative hearings, Title IX actions, or DMV hearings. Robin is also often called upon by criminal law and family lawyers to assist in strategizing their cases, to write expert reports, and to testify as an expert witness.

She is a former Los Angeles County and Riverside County Deputy District Attorney who focused on prosecuting sex crimes against children and domestic violence. While working with law enforcement, victims’ advocates, social workers, and members of the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services, she investigated and prosecuted hundreds of child sexual assault cases.
