Before entering private practice, Sonia held key positions with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Michigan Department of Corrections and the Michigan Department of Attorney General.

Her approach is grounded in justice, equity, and a commitment to helping clients rebuild their lives with dignity and stability. Awards and Honors Super Lawyers® Selectees Sonia M.
