Sophia Martinez is a Partner at Justice Law Firm and one of the firm’s most sought-after family law attorneys. Since joining the firm in 2018, she has built a devoted client following through her combination of legal excellence, practical wisdom, and genuine empathy for families navigating difficult times.
Sophia’s family law practice covers the full spectrum of domestic relations matters — from amicable, uncontested divorces to highly contested custody battles and high-net-worth divorce litigation. She is a skilled mediator and collaborative law practitioner who helps clients resolve disputes outside of court whenever possible, preserving relationships and reducing costs. When litigation is unavoidable, she is a relentless and effective courtroom advocate.
Her experience with child custody and parenting disputes is extensive. Sophia understands that custody decisions have profound and lasting consequences for children, and she approaches each case with the child’s best interests as her north star. She has served as a court-appointed Guardian ad Litem in complex custody proceedings, giving her a unique perspective on how family courts evaluate parental fitness and children’s needs.
Sophia’s bilingual fluency in English and Spanish enables her to serve the firm’s large Spanish-speaking clientele directly, without the barriers of interpretation. Many of her clients are first- or second-generation immigrants navigating the U.S. legal system for the first time — and Sophia’s cultural fluency and patience make her an exceptional guide.
She is a regular volunteer with legal aid organizations that provide family law assistance to low-income New Yorkers, and she has appeared at numerous community outreach events in immigrant communities throughout the city.
Outside of the office, Sophia is an avid salsa dancer, a passionate cook, and a devoted dog owner. She lives in the Bronx with her rescue dog, Mango.
