Welcome to RELM

Redwood Empire Law & Mediation (RELM), formerly Tavis & Bunyard, is an exciting expansion of our mediation practice while maintaining the high standards of our litigation practice. RELM is maintaining their Santa Rosa office and opening new offices in Petaluma and Sonoma in order to address the increasing demand for efficient and effective legal services in Sonoma County.

 

RELM’s mission statement is simple: We believe in providing competent, creative, and compassionate solutions to all family law issues. We apply our years of experience litigating and mediating complex family law matters, and our extensive training in conflict resolution, to devise effective and efficient client-centered solutions.

 

The name may be changing, but our dedication to excellence continues…

Shawn Bunyard stepped up and represented me in one of the most challenging times of my life. He was empathetic, intelligent, and always willing to work his hardest to give every effort to protect myself and my little girl. I would recommend him to anyone; his staff and him are always swift to respond and help any way needed. We are through the woods and no longer need his services but I am so thankful he was there to represent us through it all.
Shawn is really in a league of his own, a true professional! If you ever find yourself in need of a lawyer, do yourself a favor and call this firm. Since I called Shawn, my legal problems have been solved and my relationship with my son has flourished. If you're interested in winning, hire a winner–it's that simple!
So grateful for the guidance and support from this firm. My divorce was a very long process (7+ years) with many difficulties. Shawn and Monica worked endlessly to help me through this process with great success.
They've been my attorneys for almost 11 years. During my case, I probably called them over 1,000 times. Each time, they answered my call, set me at ease and always had a plan. They take a very cerebral, calculated and human approach to their work. It was their job to help but I truly feel as if they really cared and it showed in their work. I more than likely wouldn't be where I am with my custody without their guidance.
My experience with Shawn Bunyard was completely positive. He returned my emails and phone calls promptly. He was professional in court, while being thoughtful and respectful of my needs. He is a man of integrity and I would recommend him to anyone.
I hired their firm in the fall of 2010 to handle my divorce and worked with Shawn as my attorney. They helped me retain partial custody of my daughter when my ex petitioned for full custody. I would surely continue to have Shawn and his firm represent me.
Shawn and the firm came highly recommended to us. Our experience with them has been immeasurable. Shawn is a true professional who holds every personal conversation and situation in the highest regard. Without having the strategic outline that he had put in place, our outcome would never have been as successful.
During volatile times with intense emotion, the firm provided the sanctuary and guidance needed for me to stay the course and remain positive, which was appreciated.
Shawn was totally energetic about my case. He is a complete lawyer and now a friend. Can't say that too often in these situations. His accounting knowledge was incredible. He did everything he said he could do. When I was down in the dumps, he was able to pick me up and get me going again. He stuck with my case to the end and produced great results. I recommend no one else.
When you are an emotional wreck, it is really nice to have someone you can trust to handle all the things you know nothing about. I put things in their hands and it got done! There was not a rock that wasn't turned over and investigated.
