Before transitioning to family law, Alina spent more than a decade as a prosecutor with the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office. She handled serious felony cases, including assault, family violence, and homicide, and served as lead trial counsel in numerous jury trials. This depth of courtroom experience allows her to confidently guide clients through litigation when it becomes necessary.
She was also selected to serve in a specialized white collar crime division, where she prosecuted complex financial cases involving hidden assets, fraud, and electronic data. This background provides a strategic advantage in divorce cases involving sophisticated financial issues, asset tracing, and disputes over financial transparency.
In addition, her work in family violence cases and a mental health specialty court program gives her a nuanced understanding of the dynamics that often underlie high-conflict custody and divorce matters.
Alina is fluent in Romanian and Macedonian, and conversant in Spanish.
Alina understands that divorce is not just a legal process, it is a deeply personal transition. As a single mother of two, she has firsthand insight into the emotional, financial, and practical realities her clients face.
This perspective allows her to connect with clients, navigating uncertainty, while helping them stay focused on building a stable and successful next chapter.
Originally from Romania, Alina immigrated to the United States with her family and grew up in Los Angeles.
Outside of her practice, she enjoys riding motorcycles, hiking, and spending as much time as possible with her daughter and son.
