When Robbie came to us, she had already been through so much. She was working in mental health case management when she was physically assaulted during a meeting by someone who wasn’t even her client. The company didn’t report the injury, didn’t support her, and even tried to delete the evidence from her work phone. They had taken out life insurance on her without her permission and listed themselves as the beneficiaries.

And while she was in the emergency room, they were still demanding she attend meetings. No support. No accountability.

Working with us made all the difference. From the first call with Frank, Robbie knew she had someone in her corner. “He broke everything down for me, told me what to expect, and made me feel confident in the process.” Her relationship with our paralegal, Paul, was just as strong, full of updates, check-ins, and lots of laughter. “We were always laughing,” she said. “He made it easy to keep going.” Robbie is the kind of client we never stop rooting for.

Robbie has always defied what people expected of her. She’s a longtime community activist and a former elected official representing Ward 8, one of the most resilient and tight-knit areas in D.C. Her leadership there showed her deep commitment to service, even as she faced challenges of her own.

When her injury left her unsure how she’d cover her bills or continue supporting her two daughters, she stayed focused.

Now that her case is settled, she’s ready to move forward with a fresh perspective and a clear plan.

She’s launching her own business. She’s also planning to buy a piece of land, build a tiny home with her own hands, and plant a bunch of fruit trees, something her family can enjoy for years to come. She’s building a legacy.
