About

For Sophia, being an effective legal advocate is about educating, empowering and then confidently guiding her clients to family law and estate planning solutions in line with they and their family’s best interests. In both of her practices, Sophia brings a unique perspective and skillset attributable to her ongoing involvement in complex commercial negotiation and contracting, which has proved advantageous to her private family law and estate planning clients. In her family law practice, Sophia’s approach is straight forward and solution-focused, as she has found that often the best outcomes come from those negotiated between parties who are the experts of their own lives, and often not the Court. However, Sophia is mindful that a trial is necessary in some cases, and prepares for this possibility throughout her clients’ case. In her estate planning practice, Sophia enjoys helping her clients write and carry out their own legacy. She sees estate planning as an opportunity to dictate strategic outcomes after a life well-lived, and enjoys the long-term nature of the estate planning practice as it allows her to establish long-lasting and trusting relationships with her clients. No matter the task, Sophia will provide honest input and guidance, and will work tirelessly to obtain the best possible outcome for her clients and their families.When not at work, Sophia enjoys hiking, eating delicious meals at local restaurants throughout the Twin Cities, and exploring the abundant State Parks and International destinations with her adventurous family and friends.Education:Admitted to practice law in Minnesota & Oregon (inactive)J.D., University of Minnesota Law SchoolB.A. University of Minnesota, Twin CitiesCommunication Studies and Family Violence StudiesMagna Cum LaudeProfessional Experience:Current Commercial Negotiation Expert at Top Fortune 500 Company headquartered in the Twin CitiesPrevious Family Law and Estate Planning Attorney at Highly Regarded Family Law and Estate Planning Law Firm located in Edina, MNPrevious Family Law Attorney at Top Family Law and Estate Planning Law Firm located in Portland, OregonLaw Clerk at Hennepin County District CourtLaw Clerk at Twin Cities Construction and Insurance Law Firm, and Estate Planning and Family Law FirmAffiliations:Minnesota State Bar Association

Sophia did a great job in helping me with custody, parenting time and child support with my son. She always responded in a timely manner. Anytime I had a question, she was always very helpful. I would highly recommend her! Thank you for everything Sophia!

Two years with two lawyers who could not come to a reasonable settlement. Our lawyer died ; tried to reason with other lawyer that was unsuccessful. Then we found Sophia. That changed to a reasonable settlement and closure. She is a lawyer with an intelligent approach to a settlement and closure in a effective manner that is impressive.

I consulted with Sophia on a family matter case and she was so helpful and honest about the situation and what she could do to help. She was professional and was there for any questions I had. I ended up hiring Sophia for my case and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. I'm so glad I hired her because I had no clue on how to handle the case. She was able to clearly state what the best option would be and jumped right into action. I would definitely recommend Sophia to anyone looking for an attorney!

She was very kind, knowledgeable, and prompt in getting things done quickly and throughly completed. I felt she really understood my anxiety with the process and put me at ease. I will recommend her to anyone that needs an attorney.
