Job well done

Ms. Sobo did an outstanding job with my case. She was very knowledgeable and compassionate about my case. She kept me informed of all documents and explained in detail all steps and procedures. She truly made this a smooth experience for me!!

Attorney Sobo is Professional, Aggressive, Knowledgeable, with Excellent Character. None are better in Civil or Domestic cases.

I am still ecstatic about the way Attorney Modupe Sobo worked on my behalf! Attorney Modupe Sobo represented me in a complicated civil case that took over 2 years to resolve - but it was resolved in amy favor. While representing me, she was aggressive, insightful, and unwavering in her advocacy on... my part. She always stood up to the Assistant State's Attorneys and was expert in her knowledge of the law. Before meeting Attorney Sobo, I tried to find a lawyer on my own - without consulting anyone. I met with several other attorneys who didn't feel the case could be resolved in my favor, were negative in their attitude about my need to go to court, and lacked the passion, I as a client, want to see/feel from my legal representative. I talked to several close friends who are lawyers, but not in civil/domestic cases, and they recommended I go see Attorney Sobo. From my initial meeting and throughout the numerous court hearings, Attorney Sobo was always there, supportive and positive in her advocacy on my behalf. She saved me over $70,000. So, without any reservation, I would recommend her to anyone, seeking expert, professional, passionate, and caring legal representation or counsel in any type of domestic or civil case. In my opinion, you will be hard-pressed to find a better (or even equal) legal advocate in the Chicago.

Review of Attorney Modupe Sobo

I highly recommend Attorney Sobo, her knowledge of the legal process as well as her ability to apply the law remains A-1. Attorney Sobo's responsiveness was prompt and very thorough. Attorney Sobo's communication was always precise and to the point. The legal expertise of Attorney Sobo was a far gr...eater value than what attorney Sobo's fees were for the services provided.

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.
