3 Best Divorce Lawyers in Berkeley, CA

Sunena Sabharwal met with me via Zoom for a consultation on a prenup, since my fiance and I were not sure whether we wanted or needed one and had a lot of questions. She gave a very thorough explanation of the details and CA-specific things to take note of regarding divorce law, and answered all my questions. We ended up going over our allotted hour but she was very patient. Based on her insight, we decided that a prenup was not necessary for our situation, but if we ever need a post-nup or other legal agreement, we would definitely go to Ms. Sabharwal as she is patient, knowledgable, and a good advocate for her clients.

I would like to thank Sunena for demonstrating personal attention to all the details of my case and helping me feel more at ease throughout the process. I found her to be highly responsive, knowledgeable, and very honest about all details concerning my case. Before I sought help from Sunena, I spent an enormous amount of money for an emotional battle that made the entire legal process more stressful. I feel grateful to have had the privilege of working with Sunena, and if you're looking for a trustworthy, honest, and dedicated attorney in Family Law, I would highly recommend her.

Attorney Subharwal assisted our family to resolve a Family Law Case. Her legal expertise is stellar. She presented the facts in a clear and precise manner that made the other side dismiss their case. She was no joke. I am quite pleased with her legal service and will use her in the future.

I went into my divorce process with the goal of ending my marriage as quickly, and ethically, as possible. Andrea found alternate solutions when things were going to be held up whether it be through negotiations on the settlement or streamlining/fast tracking the process at the end. Andrea found creative solutions when I, or the process, felt stuck. I felt she was an advocate for me and my needs, fighting for me and what I was owed, especially at those moments I had wanted to let go and give up. She answered my emails with empathy, kindness, fairness, logic, and most importantly, the law. And lastly, she truly heard my goals of this process and helped me achieve them to the best of her ability (based on the circumstances that were in our control). I’m still (pleasantly) shocked we were able to complete my divorce within the year.

It’s been said that winning is everything; but it isn’t when victory is achieved through ruthless and unprincipled means. Andrea Goldman is different. In lieu of tabloid fodder and dramatic histrionics to present a case, her airtight logic, exhaustive research (along with impeccable preparation) to cite cold, hard facts and mettle-tested grit from two decades worth of courtroom experience provide a tenacious and determined voice on your behalf. Family is at the forefront of Ms. Goldman’s ethos — herself being a wife and mother — and the compassion and integrity she brings to her clients always mean you are a part of her family.

Andrea Barr Goldman is an exceptional and caring lawyer. She has worked with us in our child custody over the last few years. She is kind, trustworthy and conscientious on both a personal and professional level. Andrea is a mother of two herself and is very knowledgeable about what is best for the child(ren) involved and has always been sensitive to all people involved in the custody. I highly recommend Andrea as a family lawyer.
