Sona A. Tatiyants
Founder

Certified Legal SpecialistEstate Planning, Trust & Probate LawState Bar of California
Lynk Law founder Sona A. Tatiyants sought to create the firm she personally would want to work with. As a wife, mother, and business owner, she understands how overwhelming an estate plan can feel. As an attorney, she knows just how important it is to have that plan in place. Supported by a strong team of attorneys and staff, she guides clients through every step of the planning process, building lasting relationships to make sure their needs are met as their families grow and change.
After earning her Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) from UC Santa Barbara with honors, Sona received her Juris Doctor (J.D.) cum laude from Southwestern University of Law. She has been a member in good standing with the State Bar of California since 2005. Believing strongly that tax-law expertise is essential to best practice in estate planning, she went on to earn a Master of Laws in Taxation (LL.M.) from Loyola Law School of Los Angeles with a focus on estate planning and taxation.
Networking is a great passion of Sona’s; one of the many benefits of working with Lynk Law is access to her vast network of hand-picked professionals. She co-founded The Exchange LA — the answer to modern networking with its inclusion of women, minorities, and non-profits — and serves as head of the Glendale chapter. She also sits on the executive-committee board of Women to Women, a networking group for professional women.

Meet Pickle
Pickle is a pug with a busy schedule: napping, treats, and chicken, roughly in that order. He is not a fan of walks, coyotes, or visitors, and he is not shy about letting everyone know that. He appreciates mom, but he loves dad.
