Dear Reader,. First, thank you for read this "About Me" section.  Like looking to hire a contractor for your next home project, I believe it is important that litigants research and learn about any attorney they are considering hiring for their familly-law matter.  When it comes to spending your money and protecting your most precious assets (children and assets), trusting and having faith in your attorney is vitally important.. I have been practicing family law in California since 2001.  My experience in many California family-law courts has taught me that first understanding the big picture and ultimate goal of their case is so important when commencing or responding to a family law matter--whether it be in a divorce, custody matter and/or support matter--or any other type of family-law matter.  Based on my many years of family-law experience, I work with my full-representation and coaching clients to help them understand the importance of how to best proceed with their family-law matter.  For instance, before a person decides to run to family-law court, for any legal reason, I strongly believe it's very important that the individual first understand the risks, benefits and possible consquences of their actions--as well as understand the chances their lawsuit will be successful.  Also, unlike many family-law attorney, I am a strong advocate of teaching my clients the fundamental basics of the legal process and procedures--since many family-law cases continue for many years--well-after their attorney is no longer in the picture.  A general working knowledge of the law, procedures and local rules (and judges) is vitally important so that litigants can set reasonable expectations regarding the outcome of their case.. My family-law practice consists of  providing full legal representation (traditional legal services) about 80% of the time to clients who can afford full legal representation. For the remaining 20% who cannot afford to hire an attorney to represent them, but genuinely need some type of legal help, I provide what is known as "unbundled legal services." For instance, legal coaching is a form of unbundled legal services.  Regardless of the type of family-law legal services you need, I am able to help.. My personal experience also helps me help my clients. My first marriage ended in divorce in 1995 and I was a single parent for the entirety of my kiddo's childhod. Thus, I know and also understand the complex and intricate emotional component of  family-law issues--which are unique to this area of law. This is why I am a major proponent of practicing compassionate law and extending a compassionate ear and patient mentality when helping my clients navigate their family-law case. Don't believe me?  Check out on Avvo,  Google and Yelp to learn what others are saying about me.. I look forward to talking with you about your family-law case,. Sincerely,. Linda C. Garrett

Practice Areas: Child Custody

With her background in education and as a mother of two, Morna has always placed a priority in children and family. That priority, along with her own experience in the divorce process, lead her to a practice in Family Law. A resident of Sonoma County for over twenty years, Morna obtained her BA in Liberal Studies from the Hutchins School at Sonoma State University and a JD from Empire College.. Prior to opening her own practice she worked for five years for several established Family Law firms in Santa Rosa as both a paralegal and law clerk. She volunteered for Sonoma County Legal Aid, and clerked for the Marin Public Defenders Office in their Juvenile Dependency division. Originally she sought to pursue Juvenile Law, however, she has found that in Family Law she has an opportunity to aid both parents and children through her practice.. "I enjoy Family Practice because it allows me to use my legal background in many different aspects of the law, and to work with parents and their children, couples, and families towards a more constructive outcome at a very difficult time.
