"Naima" is pronounced Nie-EEM-uh and it is the name of a jazz ballad composed by John Coltrane in 1959.  Although she personally identifies as a Hoosier and grew up in the midwest, Ms. Solomon's roots in San Diego go back several generations.  She earned her J.D. in 2012 at the I.U. Robert H. McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis, and then was admitted as a member of the California State Bar in December of 2012.  It wasn't a difficult choice to come to San Diego because she had a unique opportunity to be mentored by her grandfather, a high-caliber real estate lawyer, lifelong role model, and amazing human.  And besides, she couldn't see herself going back and forth to the Indianapolis courthouse in 100° F humidity and still wearing a suit jacket, or changing back and forth out of snow boots into high heels!  ​

 

Before forming Broaden Law LLP with her partner Marisa E. Nahale, Naima practiced law at Solomon, Ward, Seidenwurm, & Smith LLP, where she worked on a variety of transactional and litigation cases.  Ms. Solomon's law practice includes estate planning, probate, and trust administration.  She helps clients navigate the loss of a loved one while remaining attentive to the details involved in settling the estate.  Clients appreciate her ability to solve unique problems other attorneys may not be willing to handle.   ​

 

Broaden Law LLP has operated out of the Eastlake neighborhood of Chula Vista, California, since 2016.  Naima and her husband Jason Bercovitch moved from San Diego to Chula Vista with their 2 youngest children in 2022.  When she is not practicing law, Ms. Solomon enjoys working out at LifeTime Fitness or playing cards.
