Wonderful Attorney!

Ms. Sossei is a badass attorney and I would highly recommend her! Very detail oriented and hard working! She will fight hard for you and never settles for less than. She never sugar coats anything and is always 100% honest when it comes to your case. She does not treat you like just another client o...r a file on her desk, she treats you like family!

DO NOT HIRE

We had an absolutely horrendous experience with Tammy Sossei. Do not waste a second of your time or money with her as your attorney! She failed to provide any basic guidance, strategy, or to adequately prepare us for what to expect come court day. She was some combination of disorganized, tardy, dish...eveled, and unprepared for every interaction. It was clear that the judges do not respect or think highly of her. Her assistant, Katie, is basically incompetent. For example, she sent the wrong settlement offer to the other sides attorney, her scanned legal docs were missing random pages, and she doesn’t understand how to transfer files between google docs and word. I regret ever allowing Ms. Sossei to represent us for such an important life matter. Do not trust her with your legal affairs. She (and in turn, you) will lose.

Great until work is required

Nice, friendly, sweet until it was time to work. She dropped the ball. Big time. I should have googled and been better prepared for myself. What’s the point of a hired attorney right. Find someone better. Or worry you may miss something because your on your own. But if you want a great friendly perso...nality. She’s it.

Great attorney

Compassionate & to the point - you want a simple answer, ask her the question. Not only does she care, she cares that her clients understand what's going on & have their questions answered in a way that makes sense. I had other attorneys talk over me & down to me - she just makes it simple.

Awesome Lawyer & Lady

Ms. Sossei has assisted me & my family on several matters from child support changes, collections, custody cases, personal injury matters, landlord/tenant issues, bankruptcy issues, and much more. She does it all! She cares about all of her clients & has always been the one to help us through some ...scary situations with professionalism & kindness.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
