Client review

Ms. Soka is a very personable caring attorney. She is always accessible and takes time to keep you informed on what's going on with your case. There has never been a time where i couldn't reach her. She is very knowledgeable and just a great attorney. I highly recommend her. The case she is working o...n for me involves murder charges and the case is going very well. I have no complaints. She has helped my son tremendously every step of the way and has worked miracles. My son is not in jail anymore after being assessed a $1 million dollar bond. You can't go wrong with Rita Soka Law. SHe is awesome!! and she really cares about her clients well being.

One of the best

Rita is one of the best lawyers out there. I had previously went to a different lawyer and realized I was at the wrong place when I met with Rita I was very comfortable with her. She made me feel at ease. She is very helpful and knowledgeable at explaining things to me, and helping understand my cas...e. I would definitely recommend Rita in the future to anyone who needs her services you will not be disappointed.

Better Than Advertised

I made an unfortunate mistake behind the wheel, that put me at risk of losing my professional licenses. Rita Soka was recommended to me by a friend that knew getting in legal trouble would seriously damage my career. Rita literally saved me. She was so involved in my case, and knew exactly what to do... to resolve my case quickly. Her diligence was amazing, she always kept me informed and was there for me when I called. I knew that she really cared about me and my case, and that made all the difference for me.

She brings a faith-driven perspective to her practice, often suggesting alternative, spiritual solutions like consulting with clergy, before turning to legal measures. This approach reflects her dee...p-seated care for her clients' well-being. Her astuteness in handling cases is remarkable, as she is a deep thinker. Choosing Rita means entrusting your legal matters to someone who genuinely has your best interests at heart.

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.
