Robin Leighton

Robin, who is originally from New Brunswick, went to law school with the intention of practicing family law in Toronto, and hasn't looked back since. She has been a family lawyer since her call to the Bar in 2003, first in private practice and now with Legal Aid Ontario, and gets to work with some of the best colleagues ever. When not working, she enjoys knitting, rock climbing, and the joyful chaos that comes with a family that includes three children and four cats.
