Stokes holds current membership in the California State Bar and the Colorado State Bar. She is also admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California and belongs to the San Diego County Bar Association. Those memberships reflect a practice that spans state licensing and federal courtroom access, and they allow her to file matters in multiple forums when needed.
Clients encounter a lawyer who blends courtroom experience with the routine demands of client representation. She has managed cases that require familiarity with filing deadlines, civil procedure and court rules in both state and federal settings. Her work often involves drafting court documents, preparing clients for hearings and coordinating with other counsel on procedural matters.
Throughout her career Stokes has balanced the administrative responsibilities of running a small firm with the practice duties of appearing in court. She continues to participate in local bar activities and maintains the professional registrations that allow her to practice in California and before the Southern District federal court. She currently practices through Stokes Law, PC and Bonnie Stokes Soria, P.C., handling a range of matters for clients in California.
