About

I am a family law practictioner in private practice who specializes in the area of family law.  As co-owner and  partner at Davis Smith & Jean, LLC my firm handles all areas of family law at both the trial and appellate level.  Our firm policy is to zealously advocate for our clients in a way that miminizes protracted litigation.  While some of our cases do settle at mediation, we are experienced trial lawyers who will advocate to ensure that our clients rights are being protected to the fullest extent of the law.  In addition to private practice I handle at least two pro bono cases every year.  Our firm focuses on parenting plans, dissolution of marriage, child support, modifications, paternity actions, asset protection through the preparation of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and we are frequently appointed as Guardians Ad Litem to investigate and report to the Courts as to what is in the best interest of children. I am also extremely active in the Family Law Section of the Florida Bar, chairing committees and serving as a voting member of the Legislation Committee and the Executive Committee.  In my capacity as a member of the Legislation Committee I have participated in drafting legislation for several years.

My entire family has used Sonja Jean for all of our family law cases. She is my attorney on retainer, and has handled cases for all of my siblings, and my nephew. I highly recommend her for paternity actions, dissolution of marriage and even prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.

I have had the pleasure of consulting with this attorney multiple times when my family has had certain family law issues. Even though I was not able to retain her she has continued to give me invaluable advice, and at one point her advice saved my uncle's marriage. She is incredibly compassionate and I would recommend her over any attorney in Florida.

I recommend Sonja Jean over any other family law attorney. She was my attorney for my dissolution of marriage with very difficult children's issues and she always made me feel like I was in good hands. I have a Parenting Plan that is in the best interest of my daughter and I am so happy with how she handled everything. She is a top notch professional.

Well, hard to describe in 4000 characters all dirty practices applied from this person and her associate Laura David Smith. Poor work, they charge like they are superstars Lawyer but do not even have a clerical to answer the phone.
