EXPECT TO BE IMPRESSED

Sonya is a powerhouse attorney. She respectfully listens to maximize the ultimate outcome your hoping for. It is rare to state that an attorney exceeds expectations. She is proactive and utilizes her knowledge to maximize the results your looking for. She’s all in on your behalf.

Exceptional lawyer

I have had the good fortune of her representing me for my divorce and ongoing custody issues (11yrs now). She is thorough, proactive, and fully engaged. She works with you like you are the only client she has. I have and will continue to recommend her.

Very Knowledgable And Proactive Lawyer

Sonya helped me with getting an order of protection quashed. Also, represented me to get 50-50 parenting rights at temporary orders hearing. She is very knowledge and a diligent lawyer. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing representation for legal separation or divorce.
