We’ve all heard or experienced the traumatic tales experienced by parents, friends, or colleagues going through a Family Court divorce. The court system is overburdened and fiscally impacted due to staff layoffs, court closures, and insufficient time to hear all the important information on the witness stand. Recent accounts are that 40% or more of a family court judge’s caseload involves domestic violence matters.
In addition, litigation through the court is often very expensive. For many couples, a mediated divorce can reduce costs, save time, and decrease the emotional impact when compared to litigation.
Zonder Family Law, established in 2003, offers creative and unbundled options, including mediation, for resolving conflicts. With personal experience in the divorce process, we understand the challenges of choosing a Ventura County divorce attorney and mediator. Our distinctive qualities include limited scope representation, unbundled services, and a dedicated team of experienced mediators. We empower clients to actively participate in decision-making, saving time and money. At Zonder Family Law, we provide tailored solutions and alternative dispute resolution methods to meet your unique needs.
I have been through a divorce, so I can relate to many of the things you are feeling. My message is this: Life goes on after divorce – and, as hard as this may be right now, positive things will also unfold.
It is important to remember that you will get through this, and that you are not alone. I knew very early in life that I wanted to be a lawyer.
I began my career handling general civil cases involving business and money disputes. After watching my mentor work with her clients on a more personal level doing family law, I realized that I could make a meaningful difference in the lives of couples and families going through the emotionally wrenching process of divorce. I have never looked back.
I noticed that divorce clients were seeking more than just legal advice. Recognizing the emotional and financial overwhelm that accompanies divorce, I decided to start Divorce Clarity, to bridge the gap between addressing legal issues and supporting clients as whole individuals.
Divorce Clarity offers coaching services, separate from the law firm, to provide the additional support clients need alongside legal guidance. With my unique combination of legal expertise and coaching skills, DivorceClarity takes a holistic approach to help clients navigate the complexities of divorce and emerge stronger.
The services provided by Divorce Clarity encompass various aspects of the divorce journey, including preparation for negotiations, transition and recovery, personal transformation, and exploring new career choices. By addressing the client as a whole person, Divorce Clarity strives to provide the comprehensive support necessary for individuals going through a divorce.
In 1999, I was certified by the State Bar of California as a Specialist in Family Law, and in 2003, I founded Zonder Family Law.
Founding Attorney Lisa R. Zonder has more than 20 years of legal experience exclusively in the area of family law. As a board-certified family law specialist who is certified by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization, Attorney Zonder brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Additionally, having gone through a divorce herself, she is able to identify closely and empathetically with her clients.
