Wonderful Attorney

I canot say enough about Mr. Soypher. I have worked with a lot of lawyers in my life and have had some very bad experiences with all except this one - and I am amazed that I can say this, whilst harboring the distrust that I have for many in this profession. During the course of about a year and ...while dealing with a few different, very stressful issues, Mr. Soypher: 1. Answered the phone almost every single time I called him and ALWAYS returned my call and/or emails within 24 hours. Not one single time was there any issue with communication whatsoever. 2. Was very professional, polite and respectful to me throughout my ordeal. 3. Kept me informed within hours of ANY action that was made on my case. 4. Was on time for every phone call and meeting to the minute. 5. Achieved results - And even in situations where we did not necessarily get the exact outcome that we wanted, there was still a positive outcome to my benefit. I felt like I was dealing with someone who was protecting me and my interests and had my back. While this was painfully expensive, Mr. Soypher gave me very detailed billing and explained everything thoroughly and completely. Being very calm yet very knowledgable and firm, he presents himself very well in front of others. Everyone in his office is very friendly and helpful - especially Lois. If you need an attorney who is trustworthy, communicative, honest and generally excellent at what he does I highly recommend hiring him.

"I have had the privilege of working on cases with and opposing Howard Soypher on many occasions. He is an attorney of great integrity, and one of the most highly respected attorneys in his field. Howard is extremely intelligent, ethical, and always up-to-date on the latest case law. He is always up-front with his clients, telling it like it is, and takes whatever time is necessary to explain fully all the options available to each client so that clients can have a full understanding of the substance and procedure Howard recommends. Howard is an attorney who lives by his word, a quality much appreciated in the legal community. I heartily endorse Howard Soypher as an attorney and highly recommend him."

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.
