Sonya B. Coffman

Sonya B. Coffman, The Coffman Law Firm, Beaumont, TexasI received my law degree from the University of Texas at Austin, after which I began my legal career in Houston with a large international law firm. I have spent my entire career as a trial lawyer representing plaintiffs and defendants in divorce and family law matters, personal injury, toxic tort, professional malpractice, and business cases.

I have a broad and varied business background having practiced as a CPA with an international accounting firm, served as Chief Financial Officer of a small closely-held business, and worked as a securities broker for two national firms.

I am Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. I am also AV peer review rated, the highest rating possible, by the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory, rated Superb by Avvo, and designated a Texas Super Lawyer (2018-2022).

I also am a Texas Certified Family Mediator and maintain an active family mediation and collaborative law practice. For more information, please see my dedicated mediation website, www.texasfamilymediator.com.
