I'm Nicole Herzberg, a former family law attorney and child advocate helping California couples navigate divorce with clarity, respect, and as little unnecessary conflict as possible.

​

Most couples don't begin a divorce wanting a battle. They want to understand their options, make thoughtful decisions, protect their children if they have them, and move forward with confidence. Too often, however, the traditional legal process turns two people who are trying to solve a shared problem into opponents. I created this practice because I believe there is often a better way.

​

Rather than immediately escalating conflict, my role is to guide you through each step of the divorce process—helping you understand the legal issues, identify practical solutions, and reach fair agreements that reflect your family's unique needs and priorities. You remain in control of the decisions while I provide the structure, legal guidance, and problem-solving framework to help you move forward together.

​

While litigation is sometimes the right path, for many families it shouldn't be the first one. My goal is to help you resolve your divorce efficiently, thoughtfully, and with the strongest possible foundation for whatever comes next.
