Outstanding Lawyer

Mr. Somogyi represented my daughter in a long, complex child custody battle. He was the BEST!!! Rob had the best interest of my grandson always at the forefront of his mind, he was thorough and kept us informed along the way. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mr. Somogyi!!!

Highly recommend

Mr. Somogyi has represented me and my parents. He is professional and always available to reassure me and answer my questions. I have referred him to family and friends. I would highly recommend Mr. Somogyi.

Highly Recommended Attorney

I am a lawyer who has referrred several cases to Rob over the years, in matters in which I have had a conflict or involving areas in which I do not regualrly practice, mostly in the areas of domestic relations, criminal defense and personal injury. Without exception, I have found Rob to be a dilige...nt, pragmatic, and cost-effective advocate for his clients. I have great respect for and confidence in Rob's legal skills and would highly recommend him.

The right lawyer for the job!

Mr. Somogyi is a terrific lawyer. He assisted me with a domestic-type case and not only did he win my case, but he was an absolute pleasure to deal with. While he is very professional, he also maintains a somewhat down-to-earth side that makes him very easy to talk to. I would (and have) recommend...ed him to my family.

THE BEST RESULTS

HE IS THE BEST ATTORNEY I HAVE EVER USED. HE HANDLED MY PERSONAL INJURY, AUTO ACCIDENT, AND LANDLORD TENANT PROBLEMS. I WILL ONLY USE THIS ATTORNEY FROM NOW ON.

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.
