Protecting What Matters Most. Specializing in representing doctors, lawyers, business owners.
As your family law attorney, my ultimate goal is to lead you on a pathway to financial and emotional stability.
I have been a practicing attorney since 1997, after graduating from Temple University Beasley School of Law in Pennsylvania. Since then, I have earned a Master of Laws in Taxation, from the Villanova University School of law, which has helped me resolve divorce-related financial matters and property division issues, including cases that require business valuation and cash-flow determinations.
Having worked at Pricewaterhouse Coopers as a tax attorney, my clients choose me as their divorce attorney because of my business experience and extensive tax background, both of which give me a significant advantage in handling the financial aspects of divorce.
My clients typically consist of doctors, lawyers, other professionals, business owners and their spouses. These cases are financially complex and often involve significant assets and income. I have handled cases where the marital estate exceeded $50,000,000.00. My years of experience in handling these types of cases combined with my tax expertise has allowed me to gain an advantage over less sophisticated matrimonial attorneys who do not regularly handle financially sophisticated cases and have not had the benefit of studying personal, corporate, and business tax on an advanced degree basis. It is often the case that I am able to gain an advantage in a case simply because I am able to identify an issue as a result of my background.
Whether you require representation in court or prefer to settle issues through negotiation, I know how to help you secure the assets and you’re entitled to.

David O'Sullivan, Family Attorney on Apr 12, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Sonya is exceptional lawyer and I can recommend her without reservation. We were opposing counsel in a high-conflict high net-worth matter. I was impressed with her ability to quickly grasp complex financial issues that most lawyers would not begin to understand. During the litigation, I found her to be tough and smart, but also pleasant and reasonable when it comes to settlement. Any client would be well-served by retaining her services.
Heather Nabozny-Capp, Family Attorney on Jan 31, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have known and worked closely with Sonya for many years. She is extremely knowledgeable in the area of family and matrimonial law, especially those with complex financial and business issues. A significant portion of her practice is representing doctors, lawyers and business owners or their spouses so she has developed a niche in those types of cases. I have enjoyed working with her and look forward to working with her in the future.
Sara Cohen, Family Attorney on Jan 16, 2017
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
I have been fortunate enough to work for Sonya since 2012 when I started as a Summer Associate for Stolfe Zeigler. Sonya's mentorship and guidance have been invaluable to me throughout law school and now as a young attorney. Sonya has a deep understanding and knowledge of the law that is a great asset to her clients. I strongly endorse Sonya.
Jonathan Petro, Divorce and separation Attorney on Dec 29, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have had cases against Sonya in the past and have current cases with her. She is highly knowledgeable and a diligent advocate for her clients. I endorse her.
