About Rebecca
Rebecca Sonalia studied at Michigan State University before launching a practice that crosses state lines. She built her legal foundation in Michigan and later expanded professional ties to Florida. Her education at Michigan State remains a touchstone for a career conducted across two jurisdictions.
She is admitted to practice in both Michigan and Florida. That dual admission allows her to represent clients in matters that involve both states. Over time she has established a presence in numerous Florida counties, filing papers, attending hearings and handling matters that require local court appearances.
Her work covers matters handled in state and county courts. She represents clients at hearings, manages court filings and coordinates procedural requirements across jurisdictions. She also works with local clerks and court staff to ensure filings meet county-specific rules. The practice requires attention to procedural detail and steady courtroom presence when called for.
Sonalia maintains an operational footprint throughout Florida. She regularly appears in Alachua, Bay, Brevard and Broward counties. She also handles matters in Charlotte, Collier and Duval counties, and takes cases in Escambia, Hillsborough and Indian River. Lee and Leon counties are among the jurisdictions she serves, along with Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe and Okaloosa. She is active in Orange, Palm Beach, Pasco, Pinellas and Polk counties, and handles work in Sarasota and Volusia as well. That spread reflects a practice built around accessibility to county courts across the state.
Colleagues describe her approach as methodical and detail-oriented; she prefers clear filings and predictable court calendars over surprises. Clients who work across state lines tend to rely on an attorney who can handle filings in one state while managing related matters in another. Sonalia’s dual licensure supports that kind of coordination without requiring clients to retain separate counsel in each state.
She continues to accept matters in both Michigan and Florida and adjusts office coverage to match caseload demands and court schedules. Today she maintains an active practice representing clients in Michigan and in multiple county courts across Florida, handling filings, hearings and other state-level matters.
