"Now I feel more informed and completely protected for my future and family."

"I was seeking a reputable family law firm for my prenuptial agreement and received high praise for the Schoenberg Law Group. My attorney listened to my questions and responded to them very patiently. She also paid close attention all my concerns and made sure I was aware of the legal value of the agreement I was about to sign. It was…”

"The attorneys at SFLG love this profession too much to be wasting your money and their time."

“It has been a real blessing to find this family law group in my life. I was in the middle of a custody battle with my ex wife and had a lawyer who had sided with my ex wife’s lawyer. I was faced with the option of paying to a regular lawyer to do half jobs with no results or to invest a bit more for a top family counselor who understood my situation and at the same time not giving me false hopes."

"I truly believe they were able to reach the best possible outcome for me and my children"

"I hesitated filing papers for a long time because I was not sure if I could survive a long legal battle. When we were married, my husband worked while I raised the children, two under four years old, and I was afraid I would lose the stability they needed. I had a wonderful group of friends that helped me search for a reputable law firm that could represent me when my focus was on my children. They found the"

Svapna Trivedi is a Certified Family Law Specialist, certified by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization. Few California attorneys hold this certification. It requires substantial trial experience, advanced family law education, peer and judicial review, and a rigorous written exam.

She handles contested custody disputes and the division of complex marital estates involving closely held businesses, professional practices, executive compensation, and sophisticated investment portfolios. Clients rely on her careful financial analysis, thorough preparation, and clear strategy. Opposing counsel know she is fully ready for trial.

She also understands that no one comes to a family law attorney on an easy day. Divorce and custody matters involve a client’s children, home, and sense of security. Ms. Trivedi takes time to listen, explains each option in plain terms, and helps clients make decisions from a place of clarity rather than fear. Her goal goes beyond resolving the immediate dispute. She works to protect her clients’ financial stability and their relationships with their children for years to come.

Her commitment to families began early. At the Alliance for Children’s Rights, she advocated for children’s access to healthcare, and that work still informs how she approaches every custody case. While in law school, she served as an Editor of the Journal of Juvenile Law. She graduated magna cum laude and earned CALI Awards in Healthcare Law & Policy and Administrative Law, a Certificate of Scholarship from the Federal Bar Association (Inland Empire Chapter), and a Key Award for exceptional academic achievement. She holds a Bachelor of Science from Occidental College.

She can resolve a case through negotiation, lead it through mediation, or try it in court. In every case, Ms. Trivedi advises clients honestly about which path best serves their goals and then pursues that path decisively.

A Southern California native raised in Chatsworth, Ms. Trivedi spends her free time practicing hot yoga, biking, reading, and exploring the outdoors. The focus and balance she brings to those pursuits also shape how she guides her clients through some of the most important transitions of their lives.
