I worked with Maria to help me review and adjust my prenuptial agreements. I found her to be prompt, professional and very empathetic, qualities I assume are very important for anyone practicing family law. I highly recommend Sapphire Solutions, you will be in good hands!Posted on j.d. “scamper” robinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contracted Maria Akopyan, Principal Attorney at Sapphire Legal Solutions, to help me navigate the details of a legal agreement. Maria’s attention to detail and clarity were exactly what I needed. Since I’m not fluent in legalese, even a contract that reflected my own wishes felt a little intimidating. It made a big difference to have someone who could answer my questions and explain the intent behind each section and item. Thank you, Maria.Posted on HeatherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maria was absolutely amazing . Timely, professional, on top of correspondence, thorough . Even my fiance remarked how outstanding she was and he wished his attorney was as good . She really walked me through the process and offered valuable input on our prenup . Thank you Maria! Would highly recommend and would absolutely use her services again.Posted on JESSICA SADDLERTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience with Sapphire Legal Solutions! They are very thorough and professional. I would highly recommend using their services.Posted on Kristina U. KosinaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a pleasure working with Maria. From the first step of the process, I felt we were heard and avoided confusion which sometimes arises when we try to translate our ideas to the legal language. Thanks for your help and guidance - we really appreciate it!Posted on Laris WilsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Let me begin by saying it is not easy at all to find a highly competent attorney in this field of law -- I know, I saw my husband struggle to find one to represent him. I got really lucky finding Maria to represent me, and highly recommend her to anyone. The attorney my husband hired to represent him did not do a good job on the initial prenup draft, which resulted in Maria having to take on substantial editing of the agreement before running it through with me and giving me her thoughts. She is detailed-oriented, solutions-focused, and had my best interests in mind the entire time. She listened to my concerns, gave me advice, and came up with ideas to negotiate with. Maria is also very responsive and communicative, which I've learned is super important in an attorney. She never delayed in her responses to me and addressed each of my questions and concerns immediately and thoroughly. Maria also has a background in life coaching, so she has a wealth of independent knowledge and skill to help you through this very strange process. Her calming and sweet demeanor sets her apart from so many attorneys, and helped make this stressful process so much smoother and easier for me. I have already referred Maria to two of my friends who are working on prenups now, and they both have nothing but amazing things to say about her, and have already thanked me profusely. Hire Maria, you won't regret it!

FAQs
Find quick answers to the most common questions below.
1. What is the difference between a prenuptial and postnuptial agreement?
A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract signed before marriage that outlines how assets, debts, and finances will be handled in the event of divorce or separation. A postnuptial agreement serves the same purpose but is created after the marriage has already begun. Both agreements can help couples clarify expectations, protect separate property, and reduce future conflicts.
2. What is an uncontested divorce, and how does it work in California?
An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on all key issues—such as property division, spousal support, and (if applicable) child custody—without court battles. Our uncontested divorce service simplifies the process by handling the paperwork, filings, and procedural steps for you, so you can finalize your divorce efficiently, affordably, and with less emotional stress.
3. How long does an uncontested divorce take in California?
The mandatory waiting period for a divorce in California is six months from the date the respondent is served. However, if all paperwork is completed correctly and agreements are finalized early, your divorce can be processed and approved by the court shortly after that waiting period ends. Our firm ensures every step is done accurately to avoid unnecessary delays.
4. What should I include in a marital or cohabitation agreement?
A marital or cohabitation agreement typically covers how property, income, business interests, and debts will be handled during the relationship and in case of separation. It can also outline terms for spousal support, joint purchases, and estate planning considerations. We help you draft clear, customized agreements that protect your legal and financial interests while supporting a healthy relationship foundation.
5. Do I need a lawyer to review or draft a prenuptial agreement?
Yes—having separate legal counsel is strongly recommended and often required for enforceability in California. An attorney ensures that the terms are fair, compliant with California law, and accurately reflect your wishes. At Sapphire Legal Solutions, we offer flat-fee prenup drafting and review services to make the process straightforward and transparent.
6. Do you offer flat-fee pricing for your legal services?
Yes. At Sapphire Legal Solutions, APC, we offer transparent flat-fee pricing for marital agreements and uncontested divorces. This means you’ll know the total cost of your service upfront, with no hourly billing or surprise fees—providing clarity, predictability, and peace of mind throughout the process.
