Robert Coleman Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Lafayette

Robert Coleman Bio
I practice family law because I am dedicated to helping clients protect what matters most — their families and their financial well-being. I see my role as a supportive ally, guiding clients through the legal process with clarity and compassion.. I am a strong proponent of negotiated settlements to achieve the best possible outcomes in family law matters. When settlement is not possible, I am courtroom-ready and experienced in advocating for my clients’ rights. I approach each case as unique, favoring carefully tailored strategies to best protect and advance my clients’ interests.. I am active in the Contra Costa County Bar Association and the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. I also volunteer with The Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County and Legal Access Alameda.. Representative Matters:• Secured favorable custody rulings in two domestic violence restraining order cases by uncovering fabricated evidence, including falsified text messages and a fraudulent negative drug test.• Successfully opposed a motion for a substantial increase in child support obligations, prevailing based on case law limiting retroactive application of the court’s order.
