Shamoon Budhwani

Firm: Core Law Group, LLP
1 City Boulevard West , Orange , California 92870
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
Simon Budhwani is the managing partner at Core Law Group, LLP, a six attorney family law firm practicing in the areas of divorce, domestic violence, custody, support, paternity, property division and nuptial agreements.  Mr. Budhwani is well recognized in the legal community and has been awarded numerous accolades, including, being awarded the 2016 , 2017 and 2018 Super Lawyer Rising Star Awards, the 2015 NAFLA Top Ten Under 40 Award, the 2014 Orange County Metro Magazine Top Lawyer Award, and has been seen on Nancy Grace for his role in the Real Housewives of Orange County custody battle.. Mr. Budhwani does not shy away from a challenge.  He prides himself in taking and winning difficult cases in the family law.  He lives by two mottos when practicing law: 1) he (Simon) who knows his case file best usually wins, and 2) one must obtain leverage over their opponent.. These two philosophies have been the foundation of Mr. Budhwani success.  A client can be assured that when working on his or her case Mr. Budhwani will know the file and facts of the case better than not only the other attorney, but often the client themselves.   Doing so not only gives Mr. Budhwani an advantage over opposing attorneys in family cases, it also builds immediate rapport with the Judge hearing the case.  When the court asks a question Mr. Budhwani usually has the answer while the other attorney is stumbling through his or her file.. Leverage is also a fundamental principle in Mr. Budhwani’s legal practice.  He believes the outcome of all cases, whether big or small, depends on which side obtains and maintains leverage throughout the case. Mr. Budhwani believes that it is his responsibility to sway the power of leverage to his clients benefit.  Surprisingly, there is no secret to obtaining and maintaining leverage:  One must put in the work and make the other side work.  File the necessary legal motions to win the case. The key is to out smart and out work the other side until the case is won or the client obtains a favorable settlement.. These are simple but overlooked philosophies forgotten by opposing attorneys.  Mr. Budhwani does not shy away from taking advantage of such shortcomings on the other side. It is the recipe for winning and in litigation Mr. Budhwani’s clients hire him to do just that, win.. Mr. Budhwani is a recognized scholar earning Dean’s List & Amjur recognition.  He was an editor of the Journal of Juvenile law and is a published author. He has served on the national level as a Sub-Committee Chair for the American Bar Association and locally with the Orange County Bar Association.. In his personal life Mr. Budhwani was once an amateur boxer fighting in the super fly weight division.  He has a passion for cooking, so long as it comes out of a box and has written instructions.  He is deathly afraid of snakes and See's Candies Stores (they remind him of hospitals).

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
As an experienced attorney, I am always mindful that our clients and those seeking my legal advice for the first time may be faced with some of the most difficult and complicated situations that life may bring. Handling these challenges alone can be very daunting, much like having to travel on a dark, unknown path without a guide. But, those seeking my counsel come to know that they do not have to learn to navigate that tough road alone.. I pride myself in helping my clients to make sense of life's legal challenges. Taking the time to explain the legal options that a person may have, including the possible pitfalls and benefits of each option, is an important part of each one of my consultations. I’m a firm believer that, before making any important life decision, it is essential to be well-informed about the factors influencing that decision. That is why I take the time to make sure that those who seek my legal advice and those who put their trust in me as their attorney receive a very thorough and detailed analysis of the legal challenges facing them and a clear-cut explanation of how those seemingly-insurmountable difficulties can be overcome and resolved.. My team and I are committed to handling each matter with the care, compassion, and dedication that each one of us would expect if the matter were our own. Plus, the legal fees changed are generally very reasonable and billing arrangements are usually flexible. For the above-mentioned reasons and more is why, I believe, that many of our new clients are referrals from existing satisfied clients.. If you’re in need of a dedicated and experienced attorney, I invite you to give our office a call at the number below. I’m here to help.

Sophia Henderson

Firm: Levine Law Group, LLP
5801 Christie Ave. , Emeryville , California 94608
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
I was raised in a small rural town in Northern California, spending my summers sailing, hiking, and teaching swim lessons to children.. From a young age, I was interested in the study of law. As a minor child, I was a witness in my parent’s divorce proceeding. I understand the toll divorce takes on children, particularly the feeling of not having a voice in custody / visitation decisions. In dissolution actions, advocating for the best interests of the children is a primary concern. At University of San Francisco, I worked as a child advocate for the San Francisco Superior Court through the Child Advocacy Clinic.. I served as a law clerk at Justice Now and Bay Area Legal Aid. At Justice Now, I provided post-appellate legal services to women at Central California Women’s Facility and Valley State Prison for Women. This experience piqued my interest in prisoners’ rights and I collaboratively published a law review article “Prisons as a Tool of Reproductive Oppression” in the Stanford Law Review.. The following year, I obtained an internship with a private family law firm and volunteered for the JusticeBus program, where I travelled to rural areas to provide pro bono legal services to self-represented family law litigants.. Upon graduation, I have dedicated my practice of law to family law. I obtained employment with a small family law firm in San Francisco, California that specialized in the representation of people with complex mental health issues and high assets.. Since coming to Levine Law Group, I have become particularly involved in the LGBT aspect of the practice, assisting heavily with Donor/Assisted Reproduction Agreements, Second Parent Adoptions, Cohabitation Agreements, Marvin actions, Pre/Post-Nuptial and Transmutation Agreements.. In my spare time, I enjoy surfing, hiking, musical sing-a-longs, and traveling.

Simona Zakheim

Firm: Hyden Zakheim, LLP
18 Crow Canyon Court , San Ramon , California 94583
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
Attorney with over 20 years expereince in family law, including divorce, custody, support and domestic violence issues.  In additiion to family law, I also practice immigration law, specficially focusing on family unity and naturalization.. A little about me:. My family immigrated to the United States in 1978 when I was 8 years old. I still have childhood memories of life outside the United States. Some memories are pleasant, others are not. Growing up in the US under the watchful eye of hard working immigrants taught me to strive for success at every turn. I learned to fight for my beliefs, I learned perseverance and most of all I learned that I can define the direction of my achievements. These lessons helped me graduate toward the top of my class from Loyola School of Law, New Orleans in 1995.. My first position after law school was with a firm in down town Los Angeles, focusing on general civil litigation. In 1997 I moved to Northern California where I married my husband. After a few more years as an employee in the legal field, I decided to take some of my parents' lessons and strike out on my own.. My family background coupled with my experience in law and running a business provides my clients with an attorney who is strong, compassionate and has the resolve and determination to fight for her clients. As an attorney I have learned the law. But as a business owner, I have developed strategies to problem solve, negotiate and help my clients achieve their goals. When taking on a new matter, I work with my client to first determine the most effective course for the case. This includes defining the goals and objectives, but it also requires a careful analysis of my client's personality. Some clients are fighters and need an aggressive knight who battles for the client's beliefs. Other clients prefer a more collaborative approach and need an attorney who finds creative solutions outside the courtroom. Finally, I believe that as a good advocate I need to provide not only a "legal win" for the client, but a "win" that can actually translate to that client's real world.. In sum, I believe an attorney and her client share a bond that reaches a step beyond the law. It's no accident that attorney-client communication is privileged just as communication between doctors and religious leaders. Clients often share their confidences, their concerns and their fears. It's my job to tailor my representation for each client to independently match the needs of that individual. It is with these beliefs, convictions and human understanding, that I offer my services to my clients.
