Highly recommended from numerous work over the past 10 years

Sonia helped us with multiple real estate properties across Westchester and Manhattan for the past 10 years. She gave us well-balanced legal advice and introduced us to new perspectives and professionals. We will continue to work with her and highly recommend her service.

Attorney Sonia Tanksley represented me in a in an immigration matter. She was very knowledgeable of the immigration laws and kept me up to date with information concerning my case. I have told many of my family and friends about her and some of them have already used her service. I am very pleased... with her as my lawyer and I would use her again for a legal matter.

Ms. Tanksley is an excellent lawyer. She explained everything about my immigration status and she did everything that she said she would do to prepare my documents and file my papers. My situation was corrected and I am very pleased.
