Lisa helps individuals resolve conflicts out of court although sometimes the fight for one’s interests in the courtroom is necessary.
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.
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.
Sincerely, Lisa

Some clients feel that they can take a greater level of control over their divorce case if decisions are ultimately made by both spouses rather than by a judge. If you place your trust in our hands, as many before you have, while we cannot guarantee outcomes, we will use our high level skill, education, experience and compassion to help achieve a divorce settlement that is right for you.
