The Law Office of Robin Rae Slikker, LLC
Laura has begun an office sharing arrangement with Robin Rae Slikker, who is Laura’s “designated successor” with the SC Bar Association. Robin is a 2022 graduate of the Charleston School of Law, and is currently enrolled in the LLM program in taxation through the University of Baltimore. Like Laura, she began law school after two decades of successful business experience working in management roles that brought her into constant contact with lawyers. During law school, Robin clerked with the Duggan Wynn Law Firm, assisting with probate and estate planning cases, and she spent her first year after graduation as a law clerk to the Honorable Irvin G. Condon at the Charleston County Probate Court. Her most recent position before going out on her own was as an Associate in the Trust and Estate Group of Saxton & Stump. She has found trust and estate work to be a perfect fit, as she truly enjoys helping survivors through the difficult time following a death, as well as helping families carefully craft personalized estate plans. She will be assuming responsibility for Laura’s probate cases going forward, and will inherit her estate planning files when she retires. Please read more about Robin and her practice here.
