Sacramento divorce attorney Athena Mills was initially drawn towards family law because of the complex emotional and psychological issues involved. However, her desire to help families, especially children, overcome a difficult and highly emotional time in their lives is the reason she pursued her legal career in family law.

“I am compassionate and attentive, which creates a safe and comfortable environment for my clients,” Ms. Mills said. “I am also a passionate advocate who strives to do what is necessary to protect the interests of my clients and their children.”

Dissolving a marriage or creating a custody arrangement is often portrayed as a highly adversarial process that leaves families broken and angry. However, Ms. Mills recognizes that taking the high road and cooperating can come a long way in resolving family issues and coming to an agreement that satisfies both sides.

“With cooperation and patience, a more amicable solution can be reached,” she said.
