With five years of dedicated experience practicing exclusively in California family law, Ms. Maknouni has developed a reputation as one of the most strategic and effective divorce lawyers in Los Angeles. Her selective case acceptance model allows her to dive deep into the intricacies of each matter, whether representing clients in high-conflict custody disputes, complex property division cases, or sensitive domestic violence situations.

What sets Ms. Maknouni apart from other family law attorneys in Los Angeles is her unique combination of professional expertise and personal insight. Having navigated her own divorce proceedings, she possesses an intimate understanding of the emotional complexities, practical challenges, and life-altering decisions that her clients face. This personal experience enhances her ability to provide not only exceptional legal representation but also the empathetic guidance that clients need during their most vulnerable moments.

Ms. Maknouni's legal education at Chapman University's Fowler School of Law provided her with a strong foundation in California family law, constitutional law, and litigation strategy. Her Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Law from California State University, Northridge, with a minor in Management, equipped her with valuable business acumen that proves particularly beneficial when handling Los Angeles divorce cases involving business ownership, professional practices, and complex financial arrangements.

Her academic background in business law provides unique advantages when representing clients in high-asset divorces in Los Angeles, as Ms. Maknouni can effectively analyze business valuations, understand complex financial structures, and work collaboratively with financial experts and forensic accountants. This interdisciplinary knowledge base enhances her ability to achieve favorable outcomes in the most financially complex family law matters.

Beyond her legal practice, Ms. Maknouni has demonstrated her commitment to access to justice through volunteer work at the Harriet Buhai Center for Family Law in Los Angeles.

Her approach to practice management reflects a broader transformation in legal services, where clients increasingly value personalized service, transparent communication, and strategic thinking over volume-based representation. This evolution particularly benefits families facing complex legal challenges that require sustained attention and sophisticated legal analysis.

The hallmark of Ms. Maknouni's practice is her commitment to client communication and education. Recognizing that family law proceedings can be overwhelming and emotionally draining, she prioritizes comprehensive explanation of legal processes, realistic assessment of case outcomes, and regular communication about case developments.

Her client-centered approach includes detailed discussion of strategic options, honest assessment of strengths and challenges in each case, and collaborative development of litigation or negotiation strategies that align with clients' priorities and resources. This collaborative approach empowers clients to make informed decisions about their cases while ensuring that legal strategies remain aligned with their personal and financial objectives.

The values most important to Ms. Maknouni in both her work and personal life are giving back, staying confident and resilient, and leading with integrity-she took a leap of faith to start her own firm, and the fact that so many of her clients come through word-of-mouth referrals speaks volumes to the trust she has built.

Beyond her professional achievements, Ms. Maknouni maintains a balanced lifestyle that includes international travel and cultural exploration. These experiences broaden her perspective and enhance her ability to work with clients from diverse backgrounds, a valuable asset in the multicultural landscape of Los Angeles.

Her commitment to spending quality time with family and friends, including her beloved companion Mushu, reflects the work-life integration that she helps her clients achieve through successful resolution of their family law matters. This personal balance contributes to her effectiveness as a counselor and advocate, as she understands the importance of preserving relationships and creating sustainable post-divorce arrangements.
