Zonder Family Law

I found the Zonder Family Law Firm when looking for Attorneys that specialize in Family Law. My personal experience with this firm was 5 Star 100%. My case was had been on-going with extensive drawn out complications including a MOVE-AWAY living scenario. The firm was able to pick up the details of the case where it left off and bring it to a close in a reasonable amount of time. The legal guidance and support my family received was extraordinary. Very timely, professional, caring and overall supportive at all times. We were able to create an agreement and plan that would make our situation and lives better, specifically dealing with the sensitive issues involved in a 'move- away' family custody situation. I AM very satisfied and would recommend Zonder Family Law to anyone looking for legal assistance.

When I needed help, attorneys Lisa Zonder and Pamela Bille were there for me 100%. I feel so fortunate to have found Zonder Family Law. After researching the credentials and experience of local firms, Zonder Family Law was clearly at the top, and I can verify that their excellent reputation is well-earned. My case was unusual, and the Zonder Family Law firm tackled it head on. Pamela Bille took the time to inform me of each step along the way, to explain every detail, every option, and answer all my concerns in such a respectful and timely manner. I am extremely satisfied with the way my case was handled and am grateful for the expert professionalism of Zonder Family Law.

We hired Zonder Family Law to handle our divorce mediation. Lisa and Matt, along with their staff, were terrific to work with during this difficult time. They were thorough in explaining the process and provided clear instructions on every step of the process. Both Lisa and Matt are extremely detail oriented. Information was processed in a timely manner and lines of communication were open every step of the way. We would highly recommend using them if you are wanting a thorough and cost effective mediation.

Face it, a divorce is/can be a traumatic experience and it is important to select a great Attorney. I am highly recommending Zonder Family Law. Lisa Zonder, Nicole Odin and staff have been great to work with. They are professional, responsive, knowledgeable, yet, very personable as well. They understood my needs and I felt totally comfortable having them represent me!

My experience with Lisa Zonder, Matt Jewett and the staff at Zonder Family Law was very positive. The level of knowledge and professionalism was very comforting to me during a very difficult time. I highly recommend this firm.

Lisa Zonder and Matt Jewett helped navigate my children and I through a difficult divorce. Their steady hands guided me through some of the most wrenching decisions I have ever had to make, mitigating conflict and avoiding court. One of the reasons we were successful is that I listened to and trusted their counsel which was sound every step of the way. In addition to her staff, Lisa's associated experts and specialists brought additional depth to our experience. I would recommend Lisa Zonder and her team to anyone seeking experienced, calm guidance through a marital dissolution or any family law challenge.

Serving as my independent mediation consultant, I found Lisa to be extremely smart, informed and caring. She made the whole process understandable. Lisa helped me work towards a resolution without a lot of drama, and definitely looking out for my best interest. I would strongly recommend her to my closest friend.

The Law Offices of Lisa Zonder have been nothing short of a miracle for my divorce proceedings.  After interviewing law offices contracted with my companys legal plan, I settled upon OLZ  because of  Lisa Zonders and Matthew Jewetts consultative, pragmatic, visual (effective use of whiteboards to convey concepts) and settlement-oriented approach.  Initially, I was effectively representing myself (in pro per), with Matt providing primary counsel. Although we had entered divorce mediation, I was still hopeful that I would be able to save the marriage. The mediator whom my wife had selected advised that since we were currently in mediation, I did not yet need to worry about filing a response to the divorce petition, which is generally required within 30 days in order to protect certain rights, and that the filing fee would be a waste of money at this time.  However, when I discussed this guidance with Matt and Lisa, they insisted that this was CRAZY talk, and vigorously advised that I MUST file the response, also advising that the filing fee would not be a waste of money anyway, because it would still be required down the line anyway at the time of submitting a divorce settlement.  So I heeded their VERY forceful counsel and filed the response.  I will say that in doing so, it ended up being the single most important action that I took; if I had not heeded their advice, I would have been obliterated by what eventually ensued.    After Petitioner walked away from mediation and began to take a more aggressive and litigious posture, the need for a more broadened scope of assistance from OLZ began to manifest itself.  I was still a small potatoes client at that point, but I never felt neglected or under-represented.  About a year after my receipt of the initial divorce filing, things went sideways, and I realized that I needed OLZ fully representing me, else I risked getting absolutely steamrolled by my estranged wife's legal counsel.  As I entered this aggressive litigious phase, another attorney with the firm stepped in, Nicole Oden.  I soon learned that Nicole was a legal ninja, a meticulous note taker who provided expert counsel.  She and Lisa guided me through several spurned settlement offers, as well as advised on certain legal maneuvers to counter the aggressive litigiousness that we were facing.  We engaged a forensic accountant named James Good from a well-respected accountancy firm called Gursey Schneider that Lisa had recommended and Mr. Goods analysis so precise and, well flawless.  Also enter Claudia Silverman, another member of the OLZ team with a great bedside manner, who made cogent, persuasive oral arguments during our court appearances.   More than two years after the initial divorce filing, things began to come together all at once and the court rendered a very consequential order that vindicated every aspect of Lisa and Nicoles masterful guidance.  At every turn, the entire team of professionals that Lisa had assembled along the way operated in a fact-based, integral, and ethical manner, and employed all good faith efforts in an effort to streamline the litigation.   The divorce is not yet complete, but thanks to Lisa, Nicole, Matt, Claudia and the other staff from OLZ, not to mention James Good from Gursey Schneider, the range of remaining items needing to be addressed became a whole lot narrower.  I could never have made it this far without them.  If there is a such thing as a perfect family law firm, I am certain that it must be the Law Offices of Lisa Zonder.

I first met Lisa through Collaborative Law Practice and Mediation groups. I have been honored to be a presenter on collaborative topics to her Collaborative Practice Group. She is heavily involved in consensual and informed out of court resolutions for couples and families in the transition of divorce. She is very empathetic and knowledgeable in this field. And with confidence, I endorse this lawyer.

Lisa has been a great collaborator and has handled people going through a difficult time in their lives with compassion and wisdom. Her professionalism and competence always comes through.

Very Informational if you're entering or currently in divorce proceedings.

Lisa Zonder and her support team were exceptional resources to me. Lisa was an empathetic voice of reason. She was the calm during a tumultuous divorce process. I had the good fortune to be introduced to Lisa during the 6th year of my divorce. She quickly grasped the complexity and frustrations of the dynamics of what had been a long arduous experience to date. She and her network of experts facilitated the divorce to conclusion. Lisa Zonder's integrity and fair practices are impressive. Thank you to Lisa and her team!!!
