  • S3: Ep. 5 - Law Meets Recovery: Craig Robinson on Compassionate Legal Pathways to Healing
    Apr 8 2025

    In this episode of Overcoming Adversity, Amanda Marino and Sarah Frias sit down with their friend and special guest Craig Robinson—a South Florida attorney who's not only helping families through the legal maze of the Marchman Act and guardianships, but also someone who’s walked the recovery road himself.

    Craig gets real about his past, how he ended up in Florida, and why he and his law partner Richard Casey are doing things differently when it comes to supporting families in crisis. We talk interventions, court orders, recovery culture, and yes—how sometimes the legal system can actually be an act of love.

    There’s plenty of laughs, a few birthday shout-outs (Aries + Taurus season!), some pet peeves (hello, random "how are you?" texts), and lots of good vibes.

    If you’ve ever wondered how the legal world and the recovery world can work together, this one’s a must-listen.
