Excellent

Modupe was exactly what I needed! She was professional, efficient and concise. She was expert enough to point out a clause that needed to be added to my current parenting agreement and without her I would never have known. This was in addition to addressing the issue I retained her for! Her demeanor ...is calm, family law can be emotionally taxing, but she made me feel relaxed and reassured. I would highly recommend her for all family law needs and I expect that she's an excellent mediator.

A thanks well worth every penny

As odd as this world would allow me to post a review, in favor of a father seeking to gain legal assistance for primary custody of my daughter. I was referred to Ms Sobo, who started a very efficient job at obtaining an understanding of my character & exactly what I was seeking but more importantly w...hat was best fit for my daughter. Ms Sobo is a very professional, trustworthy lawyer who I've referred on a few occasions & will continue to hire when needed. Our decision to hire Ms Sobo has really help relieve my family & I of a burden we did not want.

excellent lawyer, fights hard for her clients

Modupe Sobo law firm took up my case for me and fought very hard to help me resolve my messy divorce and child custody fight in a timely manner. She was very aggressive against my opponent and was very knowledgeable about the law . Modupe Sobo firm ensured that I was not cheated and she saved me a l...ot of court expenses and money, despite picking up my case at a late and damaged stage because my first attorney Mr. Axelrod (who I fired) had really messed up the case and i had a judge who was biased and angry towards me but My second lawyer Ms. Modupe Sobo was able to salvage the case for me and got me a pretty good settlement. she was very good followed the letter of the law despite facing a hostile judge, i got good custodial rights for my daughter. Excellent lawyer I recommend her any day to everyone.
