About Riena
Riena is dedicated to fostering respectful, solution-oriented approaches to family law, while always keeping the goals and needs of her clients at the forefront of her work. Understanding how difficult and sometimes traumatic the transitions can be for individuals going through divorce or custody matters, she strives to empower her clients through education, understanding, and compassionate representation. She has training in collaborative divorce, mediation, and domestic violence counseling. Resolutely believing in the power of conflict resolution through a more peaceful, amicable process when possible, Riena focuses her practice on collaborative divorce and mediation, as well as premarital/postmarital agreements and legal consulting.
Riena’s passion for supporting clients in transition stems from her early experiences as an undergraduate at University of Chicago and law school student at UCLA School of Law. During this time, she represented parents in the child welfare system, where she provided parents with support and resources needed to reunite them with their children. In law school, she also represented detained clients with mental illnesses in asylum proceedings, which strengthened her advocacy skills and commitment to supporting vulnerable populations. After graduating from law school, she continued to engage in family advocacy through her policy work at Planned Parenthood.
