Robyn R. Griffin started Griffin Law Group LLC in 2012 to ensure every child with mental and/or physical disabilities has the resources s/he needs to lead a happy and healthy life. Before forming Griffin Law Group LLC, Robyn spent two years at Legal Services of North Louisiana helping adults and children to secure SSI and Medicaid benefits. Robyn was an assistant Professor at Grambling State University, where she taught Paralegal Studies and Procedure courses. Robyn comes from a large family filled with dynamic personalities. Robyn’s younger sister, Bianca (who had cerebral palsy) and her nephew, Javier (who is autistic), serve as motivation to ensure that every child has the tools s/he need to manage their medical conditions.

The Opportunity/Challenge

Griffin Law Group, LLC addresses the financial burden families experience while caring for a child with a physical and/or mental disability. GLG handles the time-consuming and overwhelming aspects of the social security benefits process for the child and parents, allowing them to focus on caring for their child. They do not charge the families for our services, thus relieving the financial burden on the family.

The Impact

• Griffin Law Group has provided over $1 million in financial support and secured medical care for New Orleans children with disabilities.

• Secured over $300,000 in financial benefits and medical care in 2014 alone
