Excellent family law attorney

I've been working with Sonja for 2 years now. She gives excellent advice and is always consistent in her dedication and work ethic! I can't recommend her enough

Family Law / Modification

Sonja and Jason were very proactive in prepping for my wife's custody case. Sonja and Jason guided her every step of the way.

Family Custody Case

Sonja and her team were a delight to work with and very communicative. Sonja and Jason worked diligently over the span of 9 months to ensure my child had the best situation surrounding her livelihood. I rate them a 10 out of 10 and I highly recommend having them in your corner.

Custody and adoption services

We hired Sonja to help with the custody and then the adoption of our son six months later. Sonja is incredibly personable and professional. I love that she only hires a certain number of clients at a time in order to quickly and comprehensively work through their case. That part really showed. I c...ould not have asked for a more seamless and effortless (on my part) process. It really felt like her and her team went above and beyond to make the process easy for my family. I can't recommend enough.

Helped with an adoption. May not have happened without her and her great staff!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I cannot speak highly enough of Sonja. Sonja took time out of her busy schedule to mentor me as I embarked on a new practice. Sonja has a gift for mediation, and she is incredibly knowledgeable in her field. I could not have asked for a better mentor, and I would not hesitate to recommend Sonja as an attorney or mediator."

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.
