in News RRB News by Stephanie Blum
Reuben Raucher & Blum is proud to announce that partner Stephanie I. Blum has been selected for inclusion in the Los Angeles Business Journal’s 2026 Women of Influence: Attorneys special publication, recognizing leading women attorneys making a significant impact on the legal profession and Los Angeles community.
Blum, a Certified Family Law Specialist with more than 25 years of experience, is widely recognized for her work in complex family law matters involving high conflict custody disputes, domestic violence proceedings, and sophisticated financial issues. She serves as Chair of the Family Law Department at Reuben Raucher & Blum and represents clients in matters requiring strategic judgment, strong advocacy, and thoughtful resolution.
The Los Angeles Business Journal highlighted Blum’s recent work in an 18 day domestic violence restraining order trial involving a contested custody dispute over three children. In a rare outcome, the court adopted Blum’s argument that the best interests of the children required a departure from the typical structure in such cases, awarding her client sole legal and physical custody of two of the children and issuing a no visitation order against the opposing party pending further proceedings.
Blum is also known for her ability to resolve difficult family disputes through carefully structured mediation and strategic negotiation when appropriate. Her practice spans a broad range of family law matters, including divorce proceedings involving significant financial disputes, relocation issues, post judgment custody matters, and domestic violence restraining order proceedings.
In addition to her legal practice, Blum has long been active in the Los Angeles legal community through leadership, mentorship, and service. She serves on the Executive Committee of the Los Angeles County Bar Association’s Family Law Section and previously dedicated significant pro bono time to organizations including the Harriet Buhai Center for Family Law and Levitt & Quinn Family Law Center.
The 2026 Women of Influence: Attorneys publication recognizes women attorneys whose professional accomplishments, leadership, and community involvement have made a meaningful impact across the Los Angeles legal community.
