Santa Rosa Divorce and Mediation Attorneys

Santa Rosa Family Law Attorneys Focused on Settlement and Resolution

Divorce doesn’t have to destroy families, drain finances, or drag on for years. In Sonoma County, complex assets, parenting responsibilities, and long-term financial considerations require more than standard courtroom tactics. Warren Major LLP provides a strategic, settlement-focused approach to family law, emphasizing informal resolution, mediation, and collaboration.

Our office is based in San Rafael, CA, but we represent clients throughout Sonoma County, including Santa Rosa. Nearly every case — 99% — settles before trial. Avoiding court preserves resources, protects relationships, and reduces stress for families navigating difficult transitions.

Whether searching for Santa Rosa divorce mediation attorneys or Santa Rosa family law attorneys, our approach is clear: strategy first, conflict last.

At Warren Major LLP, we prioritize settlement through mediation for these reasons:

Informal resolution isn’t just a cost-saving strategy. It’s a deliberate, structured approach designed to achieve lasting results while keeping families intact.
