About
Sunnen Law, founded in 2007 in San Diego, CA, is a boutique firm focused exclusively on family law. The firm advises and represents clients in divorce and legal separation, child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, property division, domestic violence restraining orders, parentage (paternity), move‑away matters, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and post‑judgment modifications and enforcement. Sunnen Law offers all three resolution paths—litigation, collaborative law, and mediation—and is experienced in trial advocacy, negotiation, appeals, and settlement agreements. The practice serves clients throughout San Diego County and, when appropriate, in neighboring counties such as Riverside and Orange.
The firm is led by founder Christopher J. Sunnen, a Certified Family Law Specialist with more than two decades of experience handling complex divorces and high‑conflict custody disputes. He and the team also serve as Minor’s Counsel in the courts, bringing additional insight to child‑focused matters. Sunnen Law has received local recognition, including listings by readers of the San Diego Union‑Tribune among the area’s best family law attorneys and a “Face of Divorce Law” designation from San Diego Magazine. Clients can expect focused, strategic representation tailored to the legal and practical realities of each case.
