"I endorse this lawyer. Sonya Salkin is an experienced bankruptcy attorney and trustee. I have enjoyed working with her over the years."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Sonya Salkin in a professional capacity for over 28 years and I find her to be a brilliant lawyer, with the highest degree of ethical boundaries possible. She is an absolute gem, and a very significant asset to the Florida legal system."
"I endorse this lawyer. For several years I had a dual relationship with Sonya--in some cases I was adverse to her, representing debtors in cases where she was the Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee. In other cases she hired me and my former firm to represent her in Chapter 7 cases. So I have seen her from both sides. And from each perspective she was always fair, professional and courteous. I have recently also represented her in cases where she represents debtors as their attorney. In each and every case, she positioned the case in such a way that the client got the best possible result. Her experience as a trustee gives her a unique perspective when she serves as debtor's counsel."
