San Francisco, California – Fenchel Family Law, PC has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, Inc. magazine’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The San Francisco Bay Area family law firm placed No. 3,663 on this year’s list, which ranks privately held U.S. companies by revenue growth over a three-year period.
Founder Valerie Fenchel has built the firm around the experience of its clients and its team.
“My firm has grown by 73% in the last 3 years and has ranked for the first time in the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America,” Fenchel said. “I thought litigation was my zone of genius. But it’s actually leading and building a strong team of attorneys. I give them the tools, support, systems and confidence to win, which translates into our clients feeling safe and supported.”
The Inc. 5000 recognition adds to a list of growth honors for the firm:
- San Francisco Business Times, 100 Fastest-Growing Companies in the Bay Area: 2022 (No. 51) and 2024 (No. 61)
- Law Firm 500 Winning Firm: 2022 and 2024
- San Francisco Business Times, Top 80 Women-Owned Businesses in the Bay Area: 2024
Fenchel founded the firm in February 2017. Today its practice spans high-asset divorce for founders, tech executives, business owners, and their spouses, along with complex child custody litigation and domestic violence restraining orders.
“Being recognized on the Inc. 5000 list is especially meaningful because our growth reflects the trust our clients place in us and the dedication of our team,” Fenchel said. “When I founded Fenchel Family Law, PC, my vision was to build a firm where exceptional legal advocacy and an exceptional client experience go hand in hand.”
The firm’s cases combine financial complexity with high-conflict family dynamics. A single matter may involve the valuation of a closely held company or startup equity alongside custody questions shaped by a parent’s mental health, substance use, or domestic violence. The firm handles those issues within the same case rather than referring restraining order matters to separate counsel.
“As we continue to grow, my priority remains the same: investing in talented people, strengthening our systems, and ensuring every client receives the thoughtful, strategic representation they deserve,” Fenchel said.
