Outstanding legal services

I was lucky to find a lawyer of Aaron Sokolow's caliber, dedication, and competence. I had a family based legal problem that I wanted resolved quickly within the regulations and laws of the District of Columbia. Mr Sokolow listened intently and provided outstanding legal strategy and guidance for my... problems with great legal insight and foresight.. The predicted timeline for legal resolution was fairly accurate and I concluded Mr Sokolow was an outstanding lawyer that cared greatly about my legal problems with intelligence and perseverance. Mr. Sokolow is outstanding and a great reflection of the legal profession, I would not hesitate for his legal services and advice in the future.

Aaron Sokolow

I am a DC property owner that was sued by one of my tenants. The complaint was unfounded. This was the first time anything like this has happened and it was stressful. A real estate agent recommended Mr. Sokolow to me. After our first meeting we formulated a game plan and he put me at ease. Mr ...Sokolow was caring and reassuring. During the mediation he brought forth lapses on the part of the tenants whiched were very much in my favor. I basically was exonerated of any fault and was most appreciative of Mr Sokolow and his assistannt Gwen. I would highly recommend Mr Sokolow to anyone with Real Estate difficulties Frank Damelio, MD

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
