Sonja Aoun received her law degree from Georgetown University Law Center.  She also attended Georgetown University as an undergraduate, where she received her Bachelor of Sciences in Languages (cum laude and Outstanding Achievement in Spanish). She has practiced law since 2001, focusing her practice almost exclusively on family law, but also providing legal services on a variety of matters that affect families, such as wills and estate planning, business formation, contracts, and litigation and traffic representation.

Ms. Aoun represents individuals in family law matters such as child custody and support, spousal support enforcement, division of property in divorces, and annulments.  She has also litigated issues such as real estate and other types of contract disputes, and has prepared a wide variety of negotiated settlements in matters ranging from condominium owners associations to complex parenting agreements.  She has assisted clients with processing applications under the Hague Convention for return of their children from overseas by parents who did not have permission to take them. 

Two of Ms. Aoun’s cases have appeared in the Virginia Lawyer’s Weekly list of the most important cases of the year, winning an unusual attorneys’ fees motion for her client in one matter, and successfully defending her client against a contempt of court action in a visitation and custody matter. 

She is a member of the Virginia Bar, the Fairfax Bar Association, the D.C. Bar, the Virginia Women Attorneys Association, and has been a member of the Young Lawyers Section of the Fairfax Bar Association and the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association.  She speaks fluent Spanish.
