The Advantages Of Working With A Certified Family Law Specialist
It’s not easy to choose a lawyer — the sheer quantity of family law attorneys in Berkeley and elsewhere in the Bay Area can be overwhelming, and even after you’ve read through each firm’s website, you might not be any closer to making a choice. One way to narrow your search is to ignore each firm’s vague marketing claims and look for verifiable accomplishments and certifications.
In particular, The State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization offers official certification for attorneys who complete a rigorous set of requirements. These attorneys are the only ones who can legally advertise themselves as specialists, and their specialized knowledge and experience provide a significant benefit to their clients. That’s why is proud to be led by attorney Sunena Sabharwal, a certified family law specialist practicing in the Bay Area and throughout Northern California.
