Robyn Friedman is a Criminal Defense Attorney currently residing in Seattle, Washington. In addition to her criminal defense work, she also works with local SM and sex positive organizations, providing assistance in decision-making and documentation for events, as well as working with individuals in the alternative sexual communities in
various legal areas, including family law and estate planning. She also holds low cost legal clinics for the local community where she will provide legal documents, such as Durable Powers or Attorney, health Care Directives, Partnership Agreements, Wills, and consultations.

She has been on staff with the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom since 2000, and from 2002 through 2005, she took on the position as the Director of the Legal Education Outreach Program. She has presented throughout the nation, and Canada, at several SM oriented conferences, such as LIL, Folsom Fringe, Kinkfest, Tribal Fire,
Family Ties, Thunder in the Mountains, and Sex Positive conferences such as The North American Conference on Bisexuality, The Evergreen Conference on Gender and Sexuality, Building Bridges and the National Swing Leadership Conference.

In addition to her activism and legal work, she is also a sadomasochist, who loves to do incredibly mean things to incredibly nice people. While she enjoys fairly hard impact play, punching and kicking, her favorite activity is poking sharp things into soft flesh and finger painting with the results. For her needlework is a creative outlet, and she is blessed with many delightful and beautiful canvases to work on!
