Excellent Experience

Roni made my experience extremely easy. I had never worked with a lawyer before and need help on a a slip and fall. I broke my foot entering a restaurant. She explained things clearly and gave very realistic expectations and timelines. I basically called and she took over. We ended up with a s...ettlement that was exactly what I expected.

Communication and updates on my case

Ronni was a wonderful lawyer who handled my civil case. She negotiated with the insurance company and she received the best possible outcome. I appreciated the time she took to explain the legal process. Her attention to detail was very impressive. Also her good communication with me and she always ...updated me on what was going on with my claim from our first consultation to the final resolution, her professionalism was excellent. I am so thankful that I chose Ronni to be my legal representative

Top Shelf All the Way

My wife and I were victims of a tail-end collision in May, 2021, resulting in us both being sent to emergency via ambulance. After being deluged with a bewildering avalanche of correspondence from attorneys, including a book and video about why we should retain their respective firms, we decided to ...retain the the services of Roni Sokol. She was professional, honest, straightforward and realistic about our need to retain legal help and about our chance of securing additional help through the "underinsured" clause in our own policy. She handled all legal matters regarding our medical claims quickly and efficiently and presented all options to us before agreeing to any conditions. Our interaction with her was more than satisfactory, it was excellent. I highly recommend her and will hire her if matters present themselves again in the future.

Professional, excellent advocate, great settlement!

Roni Sokol did a fabulous job. She explained the whole process very clearly. She gathered all the details of my case in a methodical fashion. She communicated with me regularly and always explained what she was doing and what options I had. She presented a VERY strong position in my case and ...then negotiated for the best possible settlement. I am thrilled with her work and would highly recommend her to anyone needing legal assistance

Highly recommend!!

Roni Sokol was highly diligent and knowledgeable in representing me. She went above and beyond my expectations at a very highly stressful time in my life. She explained the process and answered all of my questions on a level that I could clearly understand. She is kind and compassionate while being a... very effective negotiator. I would highly recommend her and her law firm.
