Going through my contentious and complex divorce was the most stressful experience of my life. My situation had international custody issues, real estate negotiations and plenty of conflict. I came to see divorce as a lot like sailing a small boat in volitle weather for a few years. Ms. Sosna provided the technical expertise, creative problem solving, and coaching on how much effort to put in while showing me how to extend a deep keel to keep my boat stable. When I shifted from another lawyer to Arial Sosna I went from floundering and exasperated to strategic and calm. I retained Ms. Sosna at her lower teir, which worked for my budget. Ultimately, it was a great blessing. She offered clear, concise, direct, sophisticated, creative and wise advice that I was able to sift out the numerous stressful confusing distractions and tentions to prevail in three court appearances and find compromises where I couldn't otherwise see my way through. She advised me on how best to use and not use her, which saved me money other lawyers would have gobbled up. Ms. Sosna is in a small class of superior professionals that I've met in my life; those with integrity, knowledge, strength, wisdom, and creativity. I am on the other side of the divorce proud of how I faired and held myself together for the benefit of my family - yes, all of us, my ex, son and myself.

Ariel Sosna represented me through a lengthy high conflict divorce, which included several prior attorneys. Working exclusively in the area of Family Law, I felt exceptionally well represented by Ariel and her firm. While Ariel may not be the most "touchy feely" attorney (that's why your divorce team should include a therapist), she knows Family Law and the SF court system inside out and will fight fiercely (and fairly) on your behalf. I don't wish divorce on anyone, but if that's your route, Ariel Sosna is the person you want on your team.

Ariel Sosna of Van Voorhis & Sosna LLP was my attorney for a divorce in San Francisco. It was the only divorce I’ve ever experienced but, from what I’ve gathered, it was relatively difficult and lengthy. Throughout the entire process, I was confident that she was providing me the absolute best advice and representation. Ariel Sosna’s knowledge of California family law and the San Francisco court is impressive and reassuring. One benefit of this is that she explains her strategies clearly and in context of how they are likely to be received by the court. This is one of many reasons I knew my case was in good hands. My first interaction with Ariel Sosna was a memorable interview. Not only was I considering whether she would be my representation but she was clearly interviewing me to see if she was comfortable doing that representation. From that point forward, she was a loyal advocate who never ceased to impress me with her written and verbal presentation. Not only would I recommend Ariel Sosna without hesitation, I already have recommended her to a close friend. I believe family law representation by Van Voorhis & Sosna LLP is truly worth anyone’s consideration.

Angela Warren was recommended to me as a miracle worker and I have to say I 100% agree. She took over my Green Card case when others said it was not possible. She went to battle for me and after 3 long years of obstacles and law changes, she kept fighting and even talking me off the ledge when I was ready to throw in the towel, today I can say that, as of yesterday, I'm a Permanent Resident! I owe it all to Angela and her knowledge of Law, tenacity and hard work. I'd gone through some bad advisors before, so I love that I can say that for the 1st time, I felt truly represented, heard and supported! I totally recommend Angela for any immigration related cases, you'll be in great hands.

I never thought that I would need the services of an immigration attorney, But, my brother ran into problems with Immigration. He had done his own immigration paperwork and made a mess out of it. We were scared because while my brother had to eventually leave the United States, I wanted to be able to later petition him for a green card. My brother wanted to just leave the United States because of his immigration problem. But, Angela convinced him to file a case so that he could preserve the opportunity to legally return to the US. We are so grateful that Angela honestly told us about my brother’s chances and made it possible for him to get legal status later. I just thank God for Angela.

Angela Warren is top notch and very knowledgeable about immigration law. She patiently took time to discuss our case and offered solutions giving my husband and I hope when so many others told us there was nothing we could do. Because of Angela, we now have our green cards. I only have positive things to say about Angela and her firm and highly recommend her for your immigration needs.

Not surprisingly I missed the H1B lottery twice over. I called up a bunch of law firms and met lawyers to find the next steps - some recommended enrolling into a course and getting another F1(which is a hilarious recommendation actually), some J1, some B1 and bla bla bla. Then I met Angela; this, when I was already unemployable. She reviewed my resume and recommended O1. It took me a while to secure my next job offer and essentially I had 1 day left to apply for my O1. Angela did it and I secured an O1. In crux, if you're looking for true professional immigration consultancy in San Francisco, don't waste your time, visit Angela Warren. If it's possible she'll get it done.

If you're tired of paying $300/hr in attorney fees, look no further. Five-finger discounts right here. Cost is negotiable without sacrificing quality. Sarah is amazing in front of the judge. Not only is she highly skilled, smart, well prepared. she is a beautiful women to work with. She understood my needs and worked around my busy work schedule. I told her I didnt make much money and she didn't charge me a dime. Awesomeness!! Highly recommended.

Sarah is superb! She got me everything I wanted and was always on top of things. I got a nice amount of alimony and child support. My ex was trying to evict me but Sarah fought long and hard and advocated for me. Sarah is very knowledgeable about the laws and I highly recommend her. She offers a free half hour consultation and will charge you a lower fee if you can't afford her going rate.

Family law is a hard business, especially when there are children involved. My co-parent used a rather aggressive attorney and every time they did something nasty, my first reaction was to get nasty back. And that is not a good place to be in with the parent of your child, and Sarah was able to remind me of that. She pushed for collaboration, mediation, encouraged us to settle and not go to court, and continued to remind me to think about the big picture for our child. Sadly we did end up going to court and I could not have had better representation. Sarah knows the San Francisco family court system WELL. She was amazing in front of the judge. She was eloquent, succinct and on point throughout the hearing. I was impressed. Throughout the almost six month process of working with her, I found her to be responsive, intuitive, supportive, realistic, well networked (which was also really helpful), full of integrity and highly ethical. Very highly recommended.
