Ania Bednarczyk

Ania Bednarczyk is a California family law attorney who has practiced exclusively in family law since 2014 and has been licensed since 2011. She handles divorce, family law litigation, child custody, child support, spousal support, property division, post-judgment matters, domestic violence restraining orders, and attorney’s fee disputes. Her approach emphasizes careful preparation, strong knowledge of the facts, and close collaboration with clients while seeking practical resolutions outside court when possible.

Bednarczyk earned her J.D. from the University of San Francisco School of Law and a B.A. with honors from the University of California, Berkeley. While in law school, she assisted counsel appointed by the California Supreme Court in death penalty cases, gaining early exposure to complex, high-stakes legal work. That background helped develop the research, analysis, organization, and advocacy skills that continue to support her family law practice.

Bednarczyk has experience litigating and settling disputes involving domestic violence, child custody, child support, spousal support, property division, attorney’s fees, and related post-judgment issues. She works to balance sensitivity to clients’ personal circumstances with the objectivity needed to evaluate legal positions and advocate effectively. Her practice reflects a preference for resolving disputes outside the courtroom when appropriate, while remaining prepared to litigate when a case requires judicial intervention.

Ania Bednarczyk has received multiple professional honors, including Northern California Super Lawyers recognition from 2024 through 2026 and Northern California Super Lawyers Rising Stars recognition from 2015 through 2021. She also received the Alameda County Bar Association Distinguished Service Award in 2017 and an Honor Advocate Award from the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers Northern California Chapter in 2016. Her professional service has included judicial evaluation, settlement work, family law committee involvement, and volunteer assistance to courts.
