The Tom Sandoval restraining order case just took another sharp turn. Attorney Cory Weck, who represents Victoria Lee Robinson and her father Will Robinson, has filed a motion to be relieved as counsel for Will, citing an irreparable breakdown in communication. In the filing, Weck stated he can no longer represent J. Will Robinson. That motion will be addressed at a trial setting conference on Thursday, October 1.
The backstory is a tangle of dueling claims. Sandoval filed a temporary restraining order against Victoria and Will in June 2026 following an alleged altercation on June 3 in Los Angeles, and it was granted. Victoria and Will each filed separate restraining orders against Sandoval, and both were denied. Victoria was arrested after the incident and released the same day on bond. Will claims Sandoval pushed him into a stone-lava rock fire pit, rupturing a disk in his back, while Sandoval says he acted in self-defense. Victoria has denied his allegations and says she was subject to abuse throughout their relationship.
Weck’s statement adds another layer to the pile: what’s been reported doesn’t match the allegations set forth in their client’s filings, and they intend to prove that. With one attorney stepping back and a court date days away, this case is clearly still unfolding. What do you think Thursday’s hearing will reveal? Drop your take in the comments.
