Robyn Reiken
Robyn received her Bachelor’s degree from Cornell University and received her law degree from Boston University School of Law in 1985. While practicing law, she won numerous Summary Judgements helping her clients avoid costly trial litigation fees; judges commented from the bench that her legal briefs were among the best they had read, a commendation most attorneys will not receive in a lifetime of legal practice.
Robyn left the demanding practice of law to raise a family, and in 2010 she began what was to be a temporary administrative position at JFS. In this position, she evaluated the efficiency of systems and processes, and made recommendations that increased agency revenues, including streamlining billing procedures and credentialing clinicians with insurance companies. Soon, Robyn’s duties expanded to include supporting the Psychiatric Department in managing communications, scheduling, prescription renewals, prior authorizations, follow up and record keeping for 200 patients.
Robyn serves as the Legal Program Coordinator for Project SARAH, working in collaboration with the Project Director to connect survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault with attorneys who specialize in these areas. Robyn is grateful to be able to use her legal expertise to advocate for survivors, assisting them in understanding legal documents, attorney recommendations and court procedures. What began as a temporary position has evolved into a critical role with JFS, and Robyn is honored to be part of fulfilling the agency’s mission.
