Robin R. McLean

Senior Partner

Family Law

Robin leads the firm's family law practice, bringing efficient, skilled, and compassionate representation to families across South Carolina. She is certified by the South Carolina Supreme Court as a mediator in family law, and is licensed in both South Carolina and Georgia.

Robin R. McLean earned a Bachelor of Science, cum laude, from Georgia State University in 1992. She earned a Juris Doctor from Georgia State University College of Law in 1995.

In 1995, Robin was admitted to the Georgia Bar shortly after graduating from law school. She moved back to her native South Carolina where she was admitted to practice in 1997. In addition, she is admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

From 1997 to 2011, Robin worked in a small firm in Lexington County, serving local and state-wide clients, in addition to serving clients with matters in Georgia. In June 2011, she opened her own firm, McLean Law Firm, LLC, continuing to serve clients with legal matters in both states. Robin enjoyed balancing her challenging work life with raising her young son. In 2017, Robin and her current law partner, James McCutchen, joined forces to create their current firm.

Robin has practiced law in many areas including domestic and family law (separation, divorce, child custody, visitation and child support, spousal support, property division, adult and minor name changes, et al.), employment and discrimination matters, workers' compensation, estate planning, probate, and personal injury matters. The majority of her current cases involve family court matters.

Moreover, Robin has been certified by the South Carolina Supreme Court as a mediator in both Family Courts and in the Probate Courts.

Volunteering her time is also a passion. Robin has given free seminars in the area of family law on behalf of the State Bar of South Carolina; she has volunteered for the South Carolina Bar Ask-a-Lawyer drive featured on WLTX where she answers legal questions for callers; she has volunteered her time as an attorney coach for the Mock Trial Team at River Bluff High School; and has enjoyed serving on several South Carolina Bar committees and sub-committees.

Robin has attended Christian Life Assembly Church for over twenty years. Her deep love for the Lord, the law, and the people she serves is the driving force behind her decades of legal practice. She is eager to assist her clients in vigorous, impassioned, and knowledgeable representation.
