SONIA E. PASQUESI, PARTNER: STEINER HOWETH PASQUESI & HATCH

Sonia E. Pasquesi exudes strength and control when advocating on behalf of her clients in both the courtroom and during negotiations. Pasquesi relies on her deep understanding of the law to strategically navigate through the personal and complicated issues which arise in divorce and family law. Prior to her current firm, Pasquesi worked in foreclosure and bankruptcy law on behalf of major lenders, participating in mediation, administrative, and courtroom proceedings. As a result, she gained significant knowledge in complex financial issues involving the banking and real estate industry which has proved valuable in the context of complex divorce and family law. Pasquesi earned her law degree from the Loyola School of Law and cites her empathy and compassion for clients as keys to her success. “It is very important to me that my clients feel supported not only in my advocacy but in my commitment to their case,” she says. She gets the best results for clients by knowing the facts of the case, paying attention to detail, and analyzing issues from all angles while advising clients. “It is important that my clients understand all of the possible outcomes in their case and can make educated decisions about the positions they take, whether in settlement or in litigation,” she says. Pasquesi started her undergraduate studies thinking she wanted to be a physician, but she took a pre-law class her sophomore year and changed her mind. “I was drawn to the study of law, and specifically the power of advocacy,” Pasquesi says. “I have learned the impact that being an advocate can have on someone’s life.”
