Sonya is the best!

I hired Sonya as my divorce attorney after she came highly recommended by a business associate. Sonya was very upfront during our consultation regarding her fees and expected timeline. She asked me to trust her, and I did. Sonya was very supportive throughout my very painful and difficult divorce, an...d she did an excellent job representing me in court. She went to bat for me, protected me, and got me everything I asked for in my divorce settlement. I will 100% hire Sonya again for any legal needs.

She's simply the best!!

Attorney Colon is simply the best! She listens to your problem and advise on the best course of action. She always responds in a timely manner and took a lot of pressure off of my during this stressful divorce. She is a pure genius. I highly recommend her if you are considering a divorce.

I AM GOING TO BE MORE THAN JUST A EVERY OTHER WEEKEND DAD , OR A PICTURE ON A WALL, IM GOING TO BE A FATHER TO MY SON

Sonya C. Colon,ESQ. represented me in a highly contested divorce & child custody case. Where my wife refused to recognize my rights as a father. Sonya was very knowledgeable of the laws & did a great job in our final hearing in court. I ended up with way more then i expected in the outcome.Thanks to ...Sonya i am going to be able to be a father in my child's life. When i walked into Sonya's office for my first visit & sat down & talked with her i knew i didn't need to look any further. She was going to be the best choice. She is professional , knowledgeable , & honest , besides all of that she is down to earth person whom i felt i could talk to, like i had known her for a long time. She would explain things to me so that i could understand. I highly recommend Sonya colon & plan on using her services for whatever legal needs that may arise in the future.

Caring & Responsive- True Representative

I highly recommend Sonya Colon. She had represented me in my divorce and I am very pleased. Family decisions and problems are always personal, and I had a difficult time finding a good attorney. Mrs. Colon was reassuring, caring, and always understanding of my personal situation. She always retur...ned my calls, and was continuously there to guide me through any questions and concerns. I was very well represented, and I highly recommend Mrs. Colon.
