Knowledgeable and a fine lawyer

I came across Sonya through a direct referral and I am glad I went with her. Sonya is a very good divorce lawyer, extremely knowledgeable and gives clear counsel. She and her staff were always available and responsive. My divorce went through quickly as Sonya was able to reach a fair and reasonable a...greement with the opposing counsel. She was able to resolve every issue that came up promptly (and without having to go to the court). I highly recommend her firm to anyone who is filing for divorce.

Brilliant!

Sonya Powell is incredibly smart, savvy, unflappable, and professional. She is amazing at litigating in the courtroom as well as a tough negotiator outside of the courtroom. She and her team have tremendous perseverance. Sonya stepped in to take over my custody case when my previous attorney lost t...he zest for defending me. Sonya masterfully defended me in litigation, and even successfully negotiated an increase of my custodial overnights. More recently, Sonya successfully negotiated a very significant additional agreement regarding my child. Her savvy negotiation skills and attention to detail saved me the time and expense of court and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. These were stressful times for me and Sonya and her team helped me immensely. She also has been very responsive in assisting me with smaller issues along the way. She creates succinct and powerful communications, is efficient, and is passionate about her work. I am forever grateful to her and her firm’s unwavering commitment to me as their client. Prior to finding Sonya I had interviewed, met, and retained several attorneys, but for a variety of reasons never felt they were serving my or my children’s best interests. Sonya far exceeded all my expectations and continues to do so. I’ve learned the hard way there is a huge difference in attorneys. In cases of divorce and custody, finding outstanding, highly experienced representation that you can trust makes all the difference in the world. I would use no one else but Sonya Powell.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
