If you want to win then use Sonya Powell

Sonya Powell and her incredible team have been lifesavers and game changers for me. With an incredibly complicated case I was turned away by many legal firms as too "complicated" but when I met the laser focused Sonya she just said one word "goals". What are my goals. From then onwards Sonya proceede...d to win all the motions and eventually I was awarded full custody of my three children. I had Sonya on speed dial 24/7. She never missed a call and was always contactable. I would not be here where I am today if it was not for Sonya. I am forever grateful for Sonya and her incredible team.

Divorce

A friend recommended Sonya to me. She said "she will not waste your time or your money". This more than proved true. However I think her greatest asset was her guidance all throughout the process. She seemed to be able to more or less predict what my spouse would do and she made sure we were four ste...ps ahead all the time. She and Monica brought to a timely conclusion what I had thought would be a long and drawn out process. I cannot thank them enough.

Sonya is the best at her job

I wanted to share my excellent experience with Powell Radomsky and with Sonya Powell in particular. Two years ago I came to Sonya to interview her as a lawyer for my divorce. I had left my previous attorney for several reasons, one being poor communication. Sonya cuts to the chase and lays out for yo...u how she thinks the best way to handle your case will be. I hired her the same day and have never looked back. She and her extremely compassionate and smart staff got me all that I hoped for in the settlement of my divorce. Without going into detail, my ex-husband is extremely challenging in negotiations, and that did not ruffle Sonya at all. I do not hesitate in recommending her and her firm for divorce help, and I would not think twice to hire her again if the need arises. Thank you so much, Sonya!

Cannot thank Sonya enough

If you're looking for a reliable team of attorneys that truly have your family's best interests in mind, then Powell Radomsky is the only choice. I have needed assistance from this firm two times over the last 2 years. Sonya from the start, will have your back, fight for you, listen and understand ev...ery detail of the situation. She is very professional, responsive, and fair. Her expertise is outstanding and the firm fees are beyond reasonable. Sonya always strives to reach the very best outcome and tries her best to push toward settlement. I am forever grateful for this firm as they not only got me the outcomes that I wanted and deserved, but were able to keep my family safe and protected. I can't recommend Sonya enough!
