Practice Areas: Family

I am passionate about my work, I fight hard for my clients, and I work tirelessly to achieve the best results.. My mantra in life has always been, “you can either give up, give in, or give it your all.” Shortly after I was born, my dad took a risk and started his own business working out of our basement. My mom joined him and fearlessly embraced the journey of small business owners with a hoard of three young children. Whether it was my mom knowing how every client took their coffee or my dad’s all-nighters during tax season, from day one my parents taught me the importance of compassion and hard work. Today, these are values that I bring to my work and to my clients.. When I decided to pursue a career in law I was met with a lot of “why?” When I dedicated my career to Family Law I was met with even more “why?” What people often do not understand is that the answer to that question is my WHY. People come to me during one of the most difficult periods in their lives. They are looking for an ally, someone to trust, someone to encourage them to not give up or give in. These people and families are why I chose this career path – to help them weather whatever storm they are facing.. I understand the circumstances requiring a Family Law attorney can be emotional, and I strive to be there for my clients through the entire process. I take pride in giving my all to my clients every day. I will not let you give up or give in, and we will give your case our all, together.. Outside the office you can find me exploring Charlotte with my husband and our three dogs: Indiana, Jackson, and Logan (affectionately known as our wiggle pack). If I am not cycling, you might spot me running down Providence Rd. with the wiggle pack tethered at my side. As a Pennsylvania native I am a proud born and raised Pittsburgh sports fan, forever in competition with my Philadelphia husband.. I am admitted to the state of North Carolina Bar and the United States Direct Court, Western District of North Carolina.

To read what some of my past clients would say about working with me, visit my website for testimonials.. Family law is a complicated and emotional area of the law, and it’s not one I would encourage people to navigate on their own.  My goal as a family law attorney is to help my clients understand the issues at hand, how we can deal with them, and what a judge might realistically do in their case.. While I never attempt to take on the role of a counselor or therapist, I do understand that this is a very emotional time, so I try to make the entire process as seamless as possible.  I do this by managing my client’s expectations of what the legal future may hold, as well as answering any questions they may have along the way. Specifically, I have found that preparing clients for mediation, hearings, etc., provides them with a great advantage. They have a better idea of what to expect when they walk into that setting.. Managing clients’ expectations is about giving them a realistic picture of what will most likely happen with their property, finances, and custodial time.  I’ll never paint a picture of perfection, because, as the saying goes, “in family law, there are no winners.”  Instead, I want my clients to walk away from their divorce process feeling satisfied, and confident that their lawyer led them in the right direction, always doing what was in the best interests of the family as a whole.. I love practicing family law because I love helping people when they need it most.  When people walk into my office, it’s usually one of the hardest times of their lives.  It is such a pleasure to help them make decisions that -- at the time -- seem extraordinarily difficult, but that they’ll eventually see as the right decisions for their family. It is so gratifying to watch people go from rock-bottom to happier, and healthier, sometimes in just a matter of months.. I am also a Certified Family Financial Mediator.* After spending 8+ years as a litigator, I felt that I could use my extensive courtroom experience to help guide people towards settlement outside the courtroom. Since becoming certified in April 2019, I have mediated dozens of cases, and have successfully helped a majority of those people settle. While I still handle many cases in active litigation on a regular basis, I have found that adding mediations to my practice has resulted in helping even more people reach a resolution in their lives. This brings me great joy, and I am very proud to help people in this way.. I not only handles divorce and custody matters, but I also helps my clients with alienation of affection cases. My most notable trial resulted in a $1.5 million judgment for alienation of affection while in Raleigh. After returning to Charlotte, I participated as co-counsel in an alienation of affection case, which resulted in a jury verdict of $1.3 million in our client’s favor. Subsequently, I handled another trial for alienation of affection which resulted in a $300,000 jury verdict in my client’s favor. Because of this experience, I am well-versed in the intricacies of the laws surrounding alienation of affection cases and have been selected as a CLE speaker on this topic.. The top three questions I answer for my clients are:. 1.      Can I leave the house or will that be deemed to be “abandonment”?. 2.      What is a realistic custody schedule I can expect?. 3.      How much support will I get, or pay, and for how long?. Each case is different, so during your initial consultation, we can address your specific concerns.. What you’ll get if you work with me:. When you work with me, you’ll get an advocate who’s caring, but honest, someone who will work hard to keep you out of court if at all possible, and who understands that your case is about you and what’s best for your family.. To book a mediation or consultation, please email me or visit my website for online scheduling.

My experience in family law has taught me that we all have a story and that no two stories are alike. We all face challenges and we make difficult decisions that often have a lasting impact on our family and ourselves as individuals. Each decision we make ultimately becomes part of our story. As a family law attorney, nothing is more rewarding than empowering individuals to make well-informed decisions that can positively affect their story.. Whether you are seeking the assistance of an attorney to start a family through adoption or surrogacy, or to end your marriage, it is paramount that you understand the laws before you make a decision. As an attorney, I feel it is my responsibility to educate you about how those laws may impact you and help guide your decision. Although you are responsible for making these difficult choices, I will assist you and guide you along your path so that you have clear expectations and set reachable goals.. For most, while the same laws will govern your decision-making, the way you reach your goals may not be the same. For some, we will negotiate our way to your goal. For others, we may need to employ a third party, such as a mediator, arbitrator or even a counselor, to reach the outcome you hope to achieve. Still others will enter into litigation to achieve resolution. Whichever path we take, as your attorney, I am committed to you every step of the way.  While no one can predict the future, inside or outside the courtroom, I can promise that you will not find another attorney or law firm that will be more dedicated, determined, and dependable than me and our team at Sodoma Law.
