Ms. Bennett is a Certified Family Law Specialist, recognized by the State Bar of California for her advanced expertise and dedication to the practice of family law. She is known for her confident courtroom presence, sharp trial skills, and ability to navigate complex, high-conflict matters with clarity and precision.
Her practice includes high-asset dissolutions, business and professional practice valuations, multi-week trials, domestic violence restraining orders, and contested custody disputes. Ms. Bennett’s strategic approach and persuasive advocacy have earned her a reputation as a formidable litigator and trusted advisor in even the most challenging cases.
