This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Excellent Work

Sonya is very detail oriented and produces great results for the company. I have watched her prepare cases from open to close and she makes sure to go through every little detail as not to miss anything.

I have a unique perspective on Sonya

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 ea...ch 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.

Excellent attorney and staff

Sonya is representing me in a very difficult case and has provided excellent counsel and representation on my behalf. She is able to simplify the complex points of my case and make them understandable. I am fortunate and grateful to have her as my attorney. Her staff should also be mentioned for... their prompt attention to detail and their overall positive attitude when working with me.

Amazing service from Sonya Salkin

My wife and I hired Sonya when we decided to file bankruptcy. Sonya and her staff were great to work with. They quickly responded to our questions and concerns without judgement. While going through this process, my wife and I also had our first child and Sonya and the office were very understandi...ng and flexible with our needs. We highly recommend Sonya Salkin!

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.
