A divorce or custody case can run for months, and the lawyer you pick sets the tone for all of it. The family and divorce lawyers in Santa Rosa listed here hold 347 Google reviews between them at ratings from 4.5 to 5.0, but the practices behind those stars differ a lot: one is built around mediation, another is a large full-service firm, and a third pairs family law with criminal defense.

Wine Country Family Law, P.C. follows at 4.8 from 91 reviews, and Browne Law and Mediation, P.C. holds a perfect 5.0 from 53 reviews, the right fit if you want to settle without court.

Browne Law and Mediation, P.C.

5.053 Google reviews

What people praise

  • Reviewers call Jeanne Browne compassionate, patient and clear during a hard stretch

How the scores work

Rating is each firm’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many clients have rated it, set against other Santa Rosa family law practices. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from 105 people counts for more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency shows how recently clients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does a divorce attorney cost in Santa Rosa?

The job data for this page holds no published fees, so we are not quoting any. Family law cost usually moves with whether the case is contested, how much property or custody is in dispute, whether the firm bills hourly or flat, and whether you mediate or go to court.
