Sonya B. Coffman of Southeast Texas Attorney Profile

I help busy family lawyers and individuals preferring private mediation resolve their cases by facilitating constructive and forward-thinking conclusions to relationships. Relationships may end, but families continue. My goal is to resolve your case with a win-win outcome for all parties involved.

I have practiced law, tried divorce, custody, and property cases, and mediated family law matters for over thirty years. I am a Certified Texas Family Mediator and Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. As a CPA and former investment advisor, I am uniquely skilled to mediate complex property and financial cases.

People often ask me why I have practiced family law for so many years. The short answer is because I care deeply about families and children and want to help them at their lowest point. It is part of my personal ministry. Whether a divorce, custody, or property issue, my clients have trusted me with all they hold most dear — their children, their homes, their assets, and their lives. I bring the same experience, judgment, and tenacity to the mediation process.

Confidentiality is the bedrock of my mediation practice. Your communications will be absolutely privileged and confidential. I will not disclose information to other side without authorization.

My office is specifically designed to provide a professional, efficient, and impartial atmosphere to resolve conflict and craft creative solutions to family issues. Parking is complimentary in the covered attached garage.

If you work with me, you will not be just another case file. My staff and I take to heart the trust you place in us. You will get to know me as we work through your case, so when I make a recommendation, you will know I have your best interests at heart.

Family law disputes and their aftermath are difficult. I take great satisfaction in giving hope for a brighter future to families in their darkest hour.
