Details
Since 1999, Lisa Zonder has been certified as a specialist in family law by the Board of Legal Specialization of The State Bar of California. As the founder of the Zonder Family Law Group, A Professional Corporation, she focuses her practice entirely on these types of concerns, representing clients throughout parts of the San Fernando Valley and Ventura County from her firm’s offices in Westlake Village.
The predominant portion of Ms. Zonder’s client base is made up of people whose marriages have come to an end. As she possesses extensive training and experience in both mediation and collaborative divorce law, she is often able to help her clients avoid protracted and often bitter courtroom disputes and instead reach an accord on parenting time, spousal and child support, and the division of complex marital assets and debts through the use of those methods of alternative dispute resolution. However, when litigation proves to be necessary, Ms. Zonder is a forceful advocate on their behalf.
Ms. Zonder has also assisted clients who have already seen their marriages legally dissolved but who now need to have previous support or parenting court orders enforced or modified, and her family law experience has additionally encompassed the review and preparation of prenuptial and post-marital agreements. Her colleagues have taken note of her accomplishments both in and outside of the courtroom, and she has received a 10.0 “Superb” rating through Avvo and has been selected her for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America. A graduate of Whittier Law School, Ms. Zonder is admitted to practice in California, New York and the District of Columbia and before the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
