Sonia Dorleus was born in Brooklyn, New York, and moved to Georgia just before turning seven, trading city life for warmer weather. Growing up, Sonia was deeply involved in sports, including volleyball, track, and powder puff football. These experiences taught her the importance of hard work, discipline, commitment, and giving full effort in everything she does, values that continue to guide her both personally and professionally.
Sonia earned her Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology from Kennesaw State University. During college, she played Women’s Rugby, an experience that strengthened her “can-do” and “never quit” mentality. She carries those lessons with her every day, applying the resilience and teamwork learned through sports to her work as a paralegal.
Sonia chose a career in the legal field because she has a genuine heart for helping people who feel they have nowhere else to turn.
As a paralegal, she takes pride in being a steady and compassionate presence for clients, offering comfort, encouragement, and reliable support throughout the legal process. She believes the role of a paralegal is one of both leadership and service, guided by the philosophy of servant leadership: making goals clear and doing whatever it takes to help others succeed.
Outside of work, Sonia enjoys volunteering with churches and food banks to help feed the homeless, playing volleyball, taking scenic nature hikes, and attending festivals throughout the metro Atlanta area with friends. She is also a devoted dog lover and enjoys spending time around dogs whenever she can.
