Robyn Latman, Esq.

Representing Landlords Since 2001

 

Hi.  I’m Robyn. 

Welcome to my website.  I focus my law practice on Landlord Tenant matters, both residential and commercial.  I regularly appear in Landlord Tenant Court and the Civil Division in many counties in New Jersey.   I can also be found in Municipal Court defending my clients in matters relating to Housing Code Violations and in disputes between my clients and their tenants. 

I attended The American University in Washington, D.C.  After graduating from New York Law School in Manhattan, I was admitted to the New Jersey Bar in 1999 and the New York Bar in 2000.  I worked, briefly, in New York City and then in Washington, D.C., before moving to New Jersey, where I began my focus on real estate and property owners.  I have been representing Landlords ever since.  I currently practice in New Jersey only. 

Previously, as a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association, I served for many years as a member of its Special Civil Part Committee and the Statewide Coordinating Committee for Implementation of Special Civil Part Best Practices.

Volunteering

Giving back is important to me.  When I’m not working, I like to spend my time volunteering for worthwhile causes.  For several years, I volunteered my skills with summer camps and week-long adventure experiences that benefit children and young adult cancer survivors. 

I was a camp counselor and pro-bono attorney for Maplewood’s The Valerie Fund for several summers.  This amazing organization sends kids who have cancer to camp for a week – Camp Happy Times.  At camp, these kids live their best lives with people who understand them.  They do all of the sports, they go boating, and they create so many projects at Arts and Crafts  For those ones who like to rise before the sun, there is an early morning, week-long fishing competition between the boys and the girls.  Don’t worry… all of the fish get tossed back into the lake.  They have a talent show and a camp dance night.  It’s a really wonderful adventure that I was lucky to experience.

I also volunteered on a white water kayaking adventure in Hood River, Oregon, and on a rock climbing journey in the New River Gorge, West Virginia, with First Descents.

Healing through adventure sports is the motto of these almost indescribable journeys for survivors in their young adulthood.  New adventures bring with them excitement, but the excitement of a first rock climbing trip or a whitewater kayaking trip, with friends who just met, creates life-changing experiences for courageous humans who have been waiting to reclaim their lives. I look forward to more of these experiences to come.  
 

I currently give my time to work as an attorney, pro-bono, for New Jersey’s Re-entry Corporation.

This organization helps the previously incarcerated return to life in their communities.  Job training, computer skills and other services assist with getting people back on their feet so that they can return to being contributing members of society.
