This review is long over due! I have to begin by saying I can’t express enough how grateful I am to Julie and her entire team for the guidance, support and advice that they provided to me throughout this incredibly horrible experience! They were more like family helping me along then a Law Firm that I had hired. Thanks to the advice given, and the unprecedented amount of hard work, my case went from hopeless to being dropped by the filing party. If I had not listened to the legal advice given along with the legal expertise of Julie and her team, that outcome would have never been possible and I would still not be able to see my son. I’ll break this review into the three categories that I believe will be most helpful to anyone considering hiring Julie to represent them. ( Cost, Family Law Knowledge, and Ethics) Let’s start with cost because I know that is the first thing that comes to mind when you are put into a situation that requires a lawyer. First and foremost Julie has very competitive rates for the caliber of services she and her team provide and more importantly, is completely transparent. Her and her staffs billing is exactly where you would hope it would be, with the simpler tasks all residing within the paralegals and the more complex issues being dealt with by the attorneys. The billing is also extremely clear down to the minute, so you know exactly what you are paying for. I never had to question a single charge or what I was being billed for. Second, is the qualification of her and her team’s expertise. I couldn’t have found a better attorney to represent me where the entire world “loosing my son” was resting upon it. Julie is a master at her craft and able to pivot in a moments notice. Another reviewer said “ she is a bulldog in the courtroom that actually cares about her clients”, I couldn’t agree with that more!! Any attorney worth their salt will have a full client base as Julie always has, but the service Julie provides, you would think that you are her only client. She knows your case inside and out and will fight to get you what you want/deserve! Which I think is a perfect transition into Ethics. Julie and her team hold themselves to the highest of ethical standards! So if you want a firm that’s going to screw your ex and in turn child/children out of what is truly the best for your child/children please look somewhere else! It wouldn’t be fair to her or her team if I didn’t try to sway those of you with that intent away from her time and services. They are the best, but their fight is for those who deserve it. Those moms and dads who are fighting for what is the best for their child/children and not their own vindictive selfish purposes.

I have worked with Lisa Zonder and her family law team and would highly recommend them. They are professional, competent and passionate about what they do!

Julie was professional, fair, knowledgeable and a tough negotiator! I felt she was truly kind and understanding! I only wish I had met her many years ago when all of this first started. I highly recommend Julie to anyone seeking a Divorce attorney who's not just in it to run the clock to take your money! Five stars+ to her!

Kristina Kell is a smart and compassionate attorney ! She brought solutions to my complicated divorce issues, and brought closure to this long process. I feel like I can finally move on. Thank you !

Morgan exhibited great patience and professionalism guiding us through an inherently difficult but important process. I would highly recommend Zonder Family Law from my experience with Morgan.

Julie was regrettably not my first lawyer I hired in my divorce. I was mis-represented and in such a huge hole with child support and custody when my path crossed with Julie’s. She was able to undo a year and a half’s worth of horrible divorce rulings in less than a week!!! She is very precise and knowledgeable of divorce law. I am eternally grateful that she took my case and I would recommend her 1000% over again!

After more than 20 years of marriage I knew I was in for a hard year, or longer ahead. From the moment I met Kristina I knew I was in good hands. Kristina made sure our communication was on point at all times. I always felt she had my back through it all. Kristina is sharp, smart, compassionate and I really felt she cared about the outcome. If you unfortunately have to go through a divorce, you want Kristina Kell by your side. Thank you Kristina!

Although I am not enthusiastic about the circumstances of our interaction I would have to say that working with Lisa Zonder and her team was amazing. They were responsive, professional, and worked diligently on my behalf to achieve the best outcome. I would recommend them without reservation for anyone attempting a collaborative divorce process.

Lisa was of great advice and help, very fast response and reactivity, would recommend.

This review has been a long time coming, the opposing party just wanted to drag things out. Kristina, worked extremely hard to have this case finished and come up with an extremely favorable outcome. Kristina was able to let the judge know that the opposing party was intentionally trying to delay and extend this case, but in the end I was very happy with the results. I was only hoping that we came out with a 50/50 verdict as what I would expect for divorce in CA. Kristina's hard work made it happen. I was fortunate to have found her as she knows how to deal with the unscrupulous attorneys. Also She has a great staff that really help, Kathy & Sylvia were incredible as well.

I can honestly say that facing divorce was one of the most daunting, devastating, and heartbreaking circumstances I've faced thus far in life. I was so grateful to Lisa Zonder, and her team. Throughout the process, the team was kind, compassionate, and attentive. In any situation––where comprise is involved––I didn't "walk away" with everything I hoped for; however, thanks to Zonder Family Law, I was able to settle without being liable for some very heavy burdens. I attribute that to the expertise of this team. Thank you all, for helping me through a dark period in my life. I'm starting to see the light, again!
