“Throughout my extremely contentious divorce, Sonya has been a pillar of support and sound legal advice. Even when things came up suddenly, Drew was there to be a sounding board. Ms. Sumner is a legal powerhouse.”
“They helped me form my business and negotiate the commercial lease for my gym. What stood out was how much time they took to explain everything — instead of just doing the work and sending a bill.”
“Sonya was able to help us get a better outcome than we imagined. Her professionalism and legal acumen were incredible — and we were equally impressed with how much she cared about our well-being.”
