The Power of the Marchman Act: Legal Help for Families Facing Addiction

In this deeply personal and informative episode, Daya Naef sits down with South Florida attorney and social worker Craig Robinson, co-founder of Robinson & Casey.

Craig explains how his and his partner's lived experience in recovery drives their passion to support families in crisis. They also discuss how their firm scaled to support more families and why a supportive infrastructure is key in emotionally charged legal work.
