In this episode, Laurie chats with Nicole Sodoma, the founder of Sodoma Law and a marriage-loving divorce attorney!

Nicole shares some tips on preventing divorce and if you are going down that road what the best practices are to make it as seamless as possible. Plus, we get the inside skinny on Nicole’s love journey!

When Managing Principal & Founder Nicole Sodoma opened the doors to Sodoma Law in 2008, it was with the intention of building a different kind of law firm. Infusing her fresh perspective into everything she does, she focused on creating a culture of a “firm family” that showed commitment to clients, the team, and the community. This concept soon became known as “The Sodoma Way,” spurring the growth of the firm to a team of more than fifty across multiple states, and a client roster that includes professional athletes and neighbors alike. Sodoma is a graduate of Cumberland School of Law at Samford University, Family Law Litigator, Certified Parenting Coordinator, and Certified Collaborative Law Attorney.
