Sonja was recommended to us by a dear friend who had Sonja do extensive work for them. Upon investigation of Sonja, I became satisfied with her availability, quick response and excellent customer service. When we hired her she provided us with a reasonable price estimate. I did shop around for prices. Sonja has such a nice personality, and is flexible and accommodating regarding our busy schedules. She is willing to travel to a convenient location to get the job done. When the work was completed, it was thorough, meticulous and perfect! I have already recommended her to several people and will not hesitate to continue to do so. My husband says that Sonja seemed personally invested in our needs, as if she were a friend or a family member.

I've known Sonja for 30+ years. We were classmates and she was my financial adviser before law school. I refer all my clients to her. She is always very accessible. She has fixed hourly pricing so you don't get charged to change an apostrophe or a paragraph. She is also mobile. She comes to you! She recently did my own estate planning, too, which has just reaffirmed my trust in her. Her documents are very well written, thorough but not overly-complex. I also appreciate her free pre-review. She charges appropriate prices for filling in the holes when a specific need arises. Sonja is responsible, professional and nice! I've been referring her for over 20 years and have only heard positive praise for her work, her integrity and her character.

Using Sonja as an estate attorney is sort of like meeting with a friend who has your best interests at heart, but also has the knowledge to help you make the right decisions. She has helped me with my own estate and also has been helping me with my father's estate after he passed. Sonja helps me relax and take it all as it comes. She provides me with the reassurance that I will get through it all. She is also a really good value for her prices. And she doesn't charge you if you call her up for a three-minute question like other attorneys do. That adds to my comfort level, too.

Sonja did our living trust. She made the process so smooth and simple, it was a huge weight off my shoulders. She sent us an excellent questionnaire and followed that up with phone calls and emails to fill in the details. Sonja was so personal and professional and definitely has a caring and genuine nature that helped us with a task we had on our to-do list for several years. She was very clear about all the information we needed to obtain and what we needed to do. She met us at a convenient location to complete our project as well. I had priced this from another lawyer that was referred by a friend and Sonja was not only more convenient but she was also very reasonable. Our experience was great.
- A. Kellogg, Sylmar

Sonja prepared a trust for us. She was amazingly informative and quick, with a one-week turnaround. She is very reasonably priced. In fact, if I were going say there was anything to change about her company it would be that she should charge more money! We found her in the neighbor2neighbor booklet. Compared to other attorneys, she is so kind! She took her time and we never felt rushed. She just does not have an attorney feel about her. It’s like talking to a very knowledgeable friend. I recommend her to anyone!
- Gloria Kim, Pacific Palisades

Sonja is very fair. She keeps good records of her time and I am always surprised at how low her bill is for the amount of work she does. She is very competent, too, knowledgeable of all law, basic and probate, which is what I used her for. She knew what I needed to do as sole trustee and walked me through it, step-by-step. She also proofread my writings and advised me. She is very easy to talk to because she really listens. She calmly handled my intensity on certain matters and I appreciated that. She is straight-out ethical and humble about how good she is, never dominating like some lawyers. Sonja is always available and responsive, even after hours. She really cares.
- Doyle Edson, Corona del Mar

Sonja worked with me on a living will. Our experience was pleasant and very positive. She is a lovely, friendly, responsive person. Experienced and quick to respond.
- Susan Nord

I ended up going with Sonja. Huge cost savings over the others I spoke to. I couldn't see a reason to spend so much more. We have been working via email & phone, but we are meeting on Monday (a house call! I love it!) Thanks!

We’ve used Sonja’s services for about a decade now. She has simplified some complicated issues for us with our estate and has helped make our future financially secure. We are very analytical people, but don’t know a lot about legal issues, which means we ask a lot of questions. Sonja explains everything to us thoroughly and patiently. We get really high quality service for an extremely reasonable price with Sonja. And I feel a lot more comfortable going to her than a big firm where you are just a number and you get billed for a two-minute phone call. I really like the personalized service I get with Sonja—especially when I’m dealing with something as important as my estate. Dealing with Sonja is like working with a friend. SHE picks up the phone, not some secretary. And she knows right way what I am talking about, without looking in my file. Because she knows my case so well, she can give me complete, well-informed advice. Estate planning can be scary and complicated, but Sonja makes it feel more like a project.
- Diana Romero-Hugill, Venice

Sonja helped my husband and I prepare our trust. She was very patient, detailed, and helpful. It took us some time to figure out some of the issues she would follow through by sending us gentle reminders. Her pricing was right on.
- Felicia Beanum and Harold Henricks, South Pasadena

Sonja was the attorney for my aunt’s trust in LA. She wrote up a trust, helped me execute it—handled everything and did a great job. All I did was write the checks.
- Gene Givan, Indianapolis, IN

My husband and I operate a tax and bookkeeping service. We started working with Sonja on a professional basis, but have become friends. Sonja is a people-person, a lovely, honest woman who is truly interested in her clients and a pleasure to work with. Sonja helped us with our estate plan, our wills and with our aunt’s trust. We now recommend her to our own clients.
- Melinda McInerney, Studio City

I called on Sonja originally to help with estate planning, but then I fell into a complicated situation becoming a trustee for a relative. This situation was kind of a mess, but Sonja took care of the situation lickety-split. She’s smart, responsive and proactive, and I’m really glad I fell into her hands. I can’t say enough positive things about her abilities.
- J.S., Venice

Sonja prepared a trust for my family. I definitely trust her judgment. I first met her during a seminar where she was speaking on the subject of trusts. She was extremely helpful with my parents in establishing their trusts. Many people have trouble transferring all of their property to a trust, and Sonja handles absolutely everything – very detail-oriented! She’s also a notary, which is convenient, and she will make arrangements to come to your home or office if you have problems coming to her office. That was very helpful to us – my parents are older and have difficulty getting around.
- D.E., Santa Monica

Sonja has been doing wills, trusts and contract law negotiation for us. I work in a law firm and Sonja has been reviewing contracts and handling much of our probate work. She is a completely honest, ethical and responsible person. She works very quickly and in a thorough manner. In this kind of work, the details are all-important and Sonja handles the details to the letter. I would also say that her expertise is broad and informative.
- Carrie Pardy, Santa Monica

Sonja was recommended to us by both of my sisters-in-law at a very difficult time. There were certain issues that we didn't want to face, like completion of a will. Sonja's candor, professionalism, promptness, and sensitivity were simply awesome. We had a lot of additional legwork to go through to file our documents, and Sonja followed through on these for us. There is no end to our gratitude.
