Sonya is the attorney you are looking for

Sonya handled estate planning for my wife and me. She is knowledgeable, efficient and (you read this right) fun. An attorney who is fun. Imagine that. Highly recommend Sonya.

Sonya is fantastic

We hired Sonya to review and update our estate documents. We already had an existing plan, but it was drawn up in another state and we had since had several more children. She reviewed our existing plan and made some very insightful recommendations. It was very clear very quickly that she is very wel...l versed in all aspects of estate law. She is very kind and fun to work with as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to develop or update their estate plan.

Top Notch Estate Planner

Sonya's approach is refreshing. She is extremely knowledgeable an is able to distill complex legal situations into layman's terms. She truly assesses your unique situation to find what's right for you instead of trying to push a one-size-fits-all solution like other lawyers. The bottom line is that m...y wife and I left feeling better informed and confident our situation was addressed.

Highly recommend Sonya

Sonya made my estate planing very easy and less intimating for me. She was able to explain the entire process and answer all my questions that i had. She was great to work with and I would highly recommend her to all of my friends and relatives.

Estate Planning Made Easy!

My husband and I were in search of a lawyer to help us with estate planning and were very lucky to have found Sonya. She was extremely personable and very thorough during our consultation. Throughout the process, she was always quick to respond to any questions we had and made the task of preparing o...ur estate less daunting. I would recommend Sonya to anyone looking for a good, affordable lawyer to provide them with estate planning help.

  • 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.
