No-nonsense and compassionate family law

Sophia jumped into a high conflict family law situation and handled the case with clarity of purpose, with a specific focus on the needs of the child. She listened, adapted, and managed to eliminate as much excess billing time as possible. She helped bring resolution to an unbearable situation, and I... am grateful for her professionalism in a challenging case. I highly recommend her.

Clear-minded, open-hearted, super on top of it

Sophia helped me navigate a new out-of-state parenting plan with my very difficult co-parent. She was proactive in finding the simplest path to the best interest of my child without getting distracted or intimidated by any of the difficult communications. She advised me wisely on all counts, and made... sure I had all the information needed to make good choices. Co-parenting conflict is so intensely stressful, but after every call or email I received from Sophia, I felt very held and reconnected to the path forward.

Brilliant, Efficient, & Just

I hired Sophia for post-decree support and a Domestic Violence Protection Order (DVPO) renewal. My former attorney had moved on from private practice and I was nervous about having new representation, but I needed it. The other party is a domestic violence perpetrator and extremely challenging to dea...l with and - I'm terrified of him. I was looking for an attorney skilled in DV, who could cut through the noise he'd/OC would make and secure ongoing protections for my child and myself. Sophia's natural intellect and in depth knowledge of the law are a force. She was responsive, concise, and educational when I asked her to be more behind the scenes for post-decree support so I could learn how to handle things for myself when expenses were unreimbursed and piling up or he violated the no contact order. She took point to litigate the DVPO renewal, made an argument for and won a five year renewal. It's a tremendous relief. I'm so glad I found Sophia. While I hope that things quiet down with the five-year renewal and I won't need as much support for now, it's reassuring to know Sophia is in my corner when I do.

Detail oriented attorney!

I have used Sophia for my family law case for several years and she's helped navigate some tricky negotiations. I appreciate that she is very detail-oriented and pragmatic about her advice, but ultimately with an eye toward letting her clients choose the path that makes the most sense to them. I woul...d recommend Sophia without hesitation to anyone looking for help with a family law case.

Outstanding!

Sophia is an amazing attorney to work with. I could not be happier with my decision to have her represent me. Sophia is ethical, knowledgeable, honest, caring, and professional. I was served with a very unordinary and complex parenting plan and child support case from the opposing counsel. Sophia ...went above and beyond to ensure I had a fair case for my child and kept me updated throughout the entire process. She was there for me every step of the way. She explained everything in detail and made the process less intimidating. I am so grateful for Sophia’s approach and tenacity in seeing my case through. Thank you, Sophia for all your hard work and handling this complex case with your expertise and for truly going above and beyond to help me and most importantly, my child. I highly recommend Sophia as a family law attorney!
