A bit about us:

We are a Brentwood family law boutique founded in 2016 by two partners who spent years together at one of Los Angeles' most prominent family law firms. Family law is all we do. Our founding partner brings more than three decades of California family law experience, including over 20 years as a partner at that firm, and has been recognized by Super Lawyers for nearly two decades, including its Top Women Lawyers list. Her co-founder is a Pepperdine trained litigator with a Certificate in Dispute Resolution from the Straus Institute and her own Super Lawyers recognition. Our work centers on divorce, custody and parenting plans, child and spousal support, premarital agreements, and domestic violence matters for Westside clients whose cases call for both sophistication and discretion.

Why join us?

This is a chance to learn high end Los Angeles family law from partners who trained at the top of the field, without getting lost in a big firm associate pool. Our team is small by design, so you will work directly with both partners, see how strategy gets built from intake through trial, and carry real responsibility on your own files. Expect hands on drafting, discovery, financial disclosures, RFOs, and courtroom work, along with exposure to the negotiation and settlement side that resolves most of our matters. If you want a close mentoring relationship and cases that will make you a better lawyer, this seat delivers both.
