About

Attorney with over 20 years expereince in family law, including divorce, custody, support and domestic violence issues.  In additiion to family law, I also practice immigration law, specficially focusing on family unity and naturalization. A little about me:My family immigrated to the United States in 1978 when I was 8 years old. I still have childhood memories of life outside the United States. Some memories are pleasant, others are not. Growing up in the US under the watchful eye of hard working immigrants taught me to strive for success at every turn. I learned to fight for my beliefs, I learned perseverance and most of all I learned that I can define the direction of my achievements. These lessons helped me graduate toward the top of my class from Loyola School of Law, New Orleans in 1995.My first position after law school was with a firm in down town Los Angeles, focusing on general civil litigation. In 1997 I moved to Northern California where I married my husband. After a few more years as an employee in the legal field, I decided to take some of my parents' lessons and strike out on my own.My family background coupled with my experience in law and running a business provides my clients with an attorney who is strong, compassionate and has the resolve and determination to fight for her clients. As an attorney I have learned the law. But as a business owner, I have developed strategies to problem solve, negotiate and help my clients achieve their goals. When taking on a new matter, I work with my client to first determine the most effective course for the case. This includes defining the goals and objectives, but it also requires a careful analysis of my client's personality. Some clients are fighters and need an aggressive knight who battles for the client's beliefs. Other clients prefer a more collaborative approach and need an attorney who finds creative solutions outside the courtroom. Finally, I believe that as a good advocate I need to provide not only a "legal win" for the client, but a "win" that can actually translate to that client's real world.In sum, I believe an attorney and her client share a bond that reaches a step beyond the law. It's no accident that attorney-client communication is privileged just as communication between doctors and religious leaders. Clients often share their confidences, their concerns and their fears. It's my job to tailor my representation for each client to independently match the needs of that individual. It is with these beliefs, convictions and human understanding, that I offer my services to my clients.

Good experience. I worked with Simona Zakheim about 2 years ago to process my divorce and child custody. She did a good job for me getting the divorce complete and negotiating a reasonable child custody arrangement. Two years later, I had a few issues with my ex on custody and Simona was right there to help again. She is efficient and is always available within a reasonable time to answer my questions.

Simona is very responsive, knowledgeable, courteous, professional, communicator, leader, direct, smart, graceful, driven, fast, and personable lawyer. She is lawyer who fights for you. I am so thankful I chosen her. Simona is thoughtful and understands your problem and not afraid to speak the truth in court. . If you are looking for someone who is looking for your best interest and willing to actually listen to your needs and worries during a difficult situation this is the right attorney for you. She is very approachable and has a good relationship with the court as well as a strong professional network with other attorneys in the trade. When the other side tried to use coercive tactics, she pushed back. There were periods where I thought she powerfully pushed the other sides to do the right thing. She helped me get an excellent settlement agreement, under difficult circumstances, in less than one year. She is THE leader in family law. I would highly recommend Simona. Her communication skills and style are very direct and plain language which makes it easy and efficient to do business with her. She was encouraging with her advice. After so many difficult moments, particularly concerning my daughter’s safety and happiness, Simona fought for “her best interest”, and got what we justly wanted. Our faith translated into the name of Simona; she has given us back the joy to live. When Simona says that they take your case personally, she really mean it! The dedication of Simona went way above and beyond anything we could have hoped for, and she successfully ended a reign of bullying that had been going on for 12 years. I am running out of words to elaborate Simona’s professionalism but in very short, she is THE lawyer and I wish her all the best and success in her life

For the past 15 years I have looked to Simona for advise and representation for my legal matters. Simona handled a variety of cases for me, she remained vigilant and diligent from start to finish. Simona met every challenge which my cases presented with professionalism and expertise. Simona was always responsive whether by email or phone, I never felt as though I was out of the loop, I felt as though I knew our plan of action and where we stood. I feel lucky to have had Simona represent me for the past 15 years, she is the first person I go to when I need help with legal matters. Simona is 100% trustworthy and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

I have been working with Ms. Zakheim since November 2010 on my divorce. Throughout this case she has given me expert guidance and educated me about my options every step of the way. I let her know from the beginning that I was interested in being as amicable as possible, and she has respected that while still protecting my rights. At three specific times, when a more agressive approach was reqired, she was masterful in negociating through what I believed to be total impasse. I could not imagine going through this process without her. I trust her knowlege of the law, her judgement, her ethics, and her desire to reach the best possible outcome. As I move to the next phase, I will hire Simona for my estate planning needs. I know I am in good hands.

The dedication of Simona went way above and beyond anything we could have hoped for, and she successfully ended a reign of bullying that had been going on for 12 years. I am running out of words to elaborate Simona’s professionalism but in very short, she is THE lawyer and I wish her all the best and success in her life

For the past 15 years I have looked to Simona for advise and representation for my legal matters. Simona handled a variety of cases for me, she remained vigilant and diligent from start to finish. Simona met every challenge which my cases presented with professionalism and expertise. Simona was always responsive whether by email or phone, I never felt as though I was out of the loop, I felt as though I knew our plan of action and where we stood. I feel lucky to have had Simona represent me for the past 15 years, she is the first person I go to when I need help with legal matters. Simona is 100% trustworthy and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

I have been working with Ms. Zakheim since November 2010 on my divorce. Throughout this case she has given me expert guidance and educated me about my options every step of the way. I let her know from the beginning that I was interested in being as amicable as possible, and she has respected that while still protecting my rights. At three specific times, when a more agressive approach was reqired, she was masterful in negociating through what I believed to be total impasse. I could not imagine going through this process without her. I trust her knowlege of the law, her judgement, her ethics, and her desire to reach the best possible outcome. As I move to the next phase, I will hire Simona for my estate planning needs. I know I am in good hands.

Good experience. I worked with Simona Zakheim about 2 years ago to process my divorce and child custody. She did a good job for me getting the divorce complete and negotiating a reasonable child custody arrangement. Two years later, I had a few issues with my ex on custody and Simona was right there to help again. She is efficient and is always available within a reasonable time to answer my questions.

Simona is very responsive, knowledgeable, courteous, professional, communicator, leader, direct, smart, graceful, driven, fast, and personable lawyer. She is lawyer who fights for you. I am so thankful I chosen her. Simona is thoughtful and understands your problem and not afraid to speak the truth in court. . If you are looking for someone who is looking for your best interest and willing to actually listen to your needs and worries during a difficult situation this is the right attorney for you. She is very approachable and has a good relationship with the court as well as a strong professional network with other attorneys in the trade. When the other side tried to use coercive tactics, she pushed back. There were periods where I thought she powerfully pushed the other sides to do the right thing. She helped me get an excellent settlement agreement, under difficult circumstances, in less than one year. She is THE leader in family law. I would highly recommend Simona. Her communication skills and style are very direct and plain language which makes it easy and efficient to do business with her. She was encouraging with her advice.

I feel lucky to have had Simona represent me for the past 15 years, she is the first person I go to when I need help with legal matters. Simona is 100% trustworthy and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

I have been working with Ms. Zakheim since November 2010 on my divorce. Throughout this case she has given me expert guidance and educated me about my options every step of the way. I let her know from the beginning that I was interested in being as amicable as possible, and she has respected that while still protecting my rights. At three specific times, when a more agressive approach was reqired, she was masterful in negociating through what I believed to be total impasse. I could not imagine going through this process without her. I trust her knowlege of the law, her judgement, her ethics, and her desire to reach the best possible outcome. As I move to the next phase, I will hire Simona for my estate planning needs. I know I am in good hands.

Didn't get to the right lawyer. But Simona still answered my question to her best knowledge. Thanks!

Good experience. I worked with Simona Zakheim about 2 years ago to process my divorce and child custody. She did a good job for me getting the divorce complete and negotiating a reasonable child custody arrangement. Two years later, I had a few issues with my ex on custody and Simona was right there to help again. She is efficient and is always available within a reasonable time to answer my questions.

Simona is very responsive, knowledgeable, courteous, professional, communicator, leader, direct, smart, graceful, driven, fast, and personable lawyer. She is lawyer who fights for you. I am so thankful I chosen her. Simona is thoughtful and understands your problem and not afraid to speak the truth in court. . If you are looking for someone who is looking for your best interest and willing to actually listen to your needs and worries during a difficult situation this is the right attorney for you. She is very approachable and has a good relationship with the court as well as a strong professional network with other attorneys in the trade. When the other side tried to use coercive tactics, she pushed back. There were periods where I thought she powerfully pushed the other sides to do the right thing. She helped me get an excellent settlement agreement, under difficult circumstances, in less than one year. She is THE leader in family law. I would highly recommend Simona. Her communication skills and style are very direct and plain language which makes it easy and efficient to do business with her. She was encouraging with her advice. After so many difficult moments, particularly concerning my daughter’s safety and happiness, Simona fought for “her best interest”, and got what we justly wanted. Our faith translated into the name of Simona; she has given us back the joy to live. When Simona says that they take your case personally, she really mean it! The dedication of Simona went way above and beyond anything we could have hoped for, and she successfully ended a reign of bullying that had been going on for 12 years. I am running out of words to elaborate Simona’s professionalism but in very short, she is THE lawyer and I wish her all the best and success in her life
