My name is Ariel Brownell Lee. I was born and raised in Sacramento, CA. I received my Bachelor’s of Science from Sacramento State University. I majored in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology. After attending Sac State, I took a year off to teach and work as a file clerk at a local Sacramento law firm. I then attended law school at UC Davis, King Hall School of Law. During my time at King Hall, I developed a strong interest in family law. I realized family law was the perfect practice area for me because it allowed me to affect real, positive change, directly in peoples’ lives.
I am an active member of the local legal community. I have served as President of the Women’s Section of the Contra Costa County Bar Association, I am a delegate of Contra Costa for the California Conference of Bar Associations, I serve on the the Board of Director’s for California Women Lawyers as the affiliate governor for Contra Costa Country, and in association with CWL, co-host the podcast “Seat at the Table” with Summer Selleck.
My staff and I strive to offer exceptional and personal customer service to all of my clients.

This is available to parties who are parents, but never married. Discuss your specific case with your attorney.
This is the time that you spend with your children.

The timeshare schedule may differ based upon the age of the children and their needs.
If you and the other party cannot resolve a custody or visitation dispute you may be required to attend a mediation session with a family court services mediator. Your attorney may not be allowed to attend the mediation with you but you can meet with your attorney ahead of time to prepare for the mediation.
Each case is different and will involve division of the community property assets and debts acquired by the parties during the marriage. Some property obtained by a party during marriage may be their separate property. Your attorney will have to advise you based upon the specific facts of your case.
