"Sophia brings her two decades of legal experience representing thousands of clients to bear on every single case she handles in order to ensure the best possible outcomes for her clients. Sophia knows the state criminal justice system and the civil court system extremely well. I've had the opportunity at length to observe her first hand in the court systems in which she practices and have been consistently amazed at the level of preparation, skill, knowledge, and compassion she brings to each and every one of her clients' cases. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone in need of an exemplary family law, criminal law, or personal injury attorney, feeling fully confident that Sophia will take excellent care of them."

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.
