Claimed Lawyer Profile
Biography
I was a family law paralegal for many years prior to my attending law school. During that time I received my 25-Hour Basic Mediation Certificate (1995) and in 2009 I received my 40-Hour Basic Divorce Mediation certificate. In 2009 I also received training in Foreclosure mediation as well as a 10 hour "brush up" course in community mediation and 3 hours of Advanced Mediation training in "Mediating Civil Harassment Cases." I presently limit my practice to Divorce Mediation, Premarital and Postmarital agreements, Prenuptials and Postnuptials, All types of mediation, and Stepparent Adoptions Guardianships.

Professional Experience

- Law Offices of Sondra BenNaEim
- - Current
- I concentrate on Family Law matters. I believe that, if possible, mediation between the parties is best for all concerned. That way you get to decide the outcome,not a third party or judge. Of course, some cases are not able to be solved in this matter and in those cases litigation may be necessary.
