Adina H. Rosenfeld is certified as a Family Law Specialist through the Board of Legal Specialization of the State Bar of California. She has also been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star, an honor reserved for a small percentage of attorneys who demonstrate outstanding professional achievement and peer recognition. She has wide-ranging experience in the area of family law. Her practice focuses on complex child custody disputes, including move-away cases, domestic violence, parental alienation, child visitation, and divorce matters.
Ms. Rosenfeld works to keep the best interests of children in mind and ensures that her clients are informed at every stage of the process. She is dedicated to professional excellence and reassures her clients by developing a comprehensive plan of action.
Adina is settlement oriented; however, she is equally adept at litigation. Clients appreciate her attention to detail, as she gives sound, reasonable advice and explains the realities of various choices.
Ms. Rosenfeld speaks fluent German, conversational Polish and Italian, and some Hebrew, allowing her to communicate with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds.
She has had an interest in worldwide legal traditions and has published a law review article on the comparative rules of international evidence. This interest, along with her European background, has given her a deeper understanding of the Hague Convention and the civil aspects of child abduction.
Prior to joining Feinberg & Waller, APC, Ms. Rosenfeld clerked with the nonprofit Levitt & Quinn Family Law Center through a Loyola Law School fellowship. She conducted intake of clients, drafted family law and adoption pleadings, participated in client consultations, and assisted attorneys with discovery, motions, and trial preparations.
Since the beginning of her involvement in the legal field, Ms. Rosenfeld has advocated consistently and effectively for the rights of those in need. While in law school, she was involved in organizations such as the Women's Lawyer's Association and the Jewish Law Students Association, and acted as a legal extern for Loyola Law School's Project for the Innocent, assisting California prison inmates who requested legal assistance.
Ms. Rosenfeld has had community volunteer affiliations with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Sova Food Pantry. Her dedication to assisting those in need, both through her legal services and her volunteer activities, consistently motivates her to help families resolve conflicts as quickly and effectively as possible.
Ms. Rosenfeld earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in history, graduating summa cum laude from the University of Southern California (USC). She was part of the History Department's Honors Program and completed an Honors Thesis prior to graduating from USC. She earned her law degree at Loyola Law School of Los Angeles.
