Joseph Charles Somma

We have worked with Joe Somma for almost three years and will continue to work exclusively with him. Joe has provided excellent support on contract review and overall legal guidance on real estate matters. He is down-to-earth and does not “nickel and dime” for every call and email we have. We need mo...re Joe Sommas on our team!

After a couple rounds of stringent HOA enforcement, a re-read of the covenants raised questions about what could, should, and might apply to my specific situation. I posted a question on AVVO, and they referred me to Joe. After reviewing and discussing the 50+ pages of documents, Joe at our consulta...tion gave his frank assessment that the situation was probably not winnable, and even if successful would not be cost effective to pursue through legal channels. In the alternative, he offered a “best case” scenario to shoot for in negotiating with the HOA and some strategies (who to talk to, framing the conversation) to gain some breathing room between me and the HOA. You can’t win ‘em all, but that doesn’t mean you can’t score a couple of runs and hold your head up high. Thanks for your help, Joe.

I hired Mr. Somma after meeting with several attorneys. My issue was complex. I was selling my family-owned medical supply distribution business to a competitor. The buyer used an attorney at one of the big firm guys at God knows what hourly rate. Mr. Somma’s hourly rate was not low but worth eve...ry red cent. I am. 72 years old and retiring. I have been in business a long time and used several attorneys over my long career. Mr. Somma handled my stock retirement and drafted the asset purchase sale agreement and handled all the negotiations with precision and deft ability. For being a relatively young man, he is wise beyond his years and brought more value to my transaction than he costed me in dollars. Mr. Somma is a true stalwart attorney, and I would and will recommend him to anyone needing a true gentleman of an attorney.

Joseph Somma provided hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a financially devastating resolution seemed inevitable. Not only was he able to defend me against unrealistic business terms and expenses, his calm and empathetic demeanor gave time to methodically find ...a reasonable solution. As a result of his representation, I was able to eliminate my business limitations and avoid a costly financial impact. I am grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Somma without reservation.

Brilliant business and transactions lawyer. I handle many complex commercial real estate and development matters. I have always been not only impressed with his ability to navigate the waters of a complex negotiation, but also like working with him as a person. He is professional and knowledgeable ...and a pleasure to work with. He has that quality that is rare in todays world, integrity. Joe Somma is my attorney for all my Alabama transactions. I would not use anyone else. Five stars!!!
