Relationship: Co-worker
Sonia is that rare combination of attorney who is smart, hard-working, and ethical. I refer all my clients or potential clients to her for their immigration matters. If she can't help them, nobody can.
Jamie Jatzlau, Immigration Attorney on Oct 5, 2021
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I highly recommend Sonia. She is a conscientious and dedicated attorney who does her best by clients. I wouldn't hesitate to refer a family member or friend to her for immigration assistance.
Mark Avery, Immigration Attorney on Mar 27, 2009
Relationship: Other
Sonia is a dedicated attorney who carefully gives appropriate legal (and practical) advice to her clients and then helps them meet their goals. I highly recommend her for any immigration law issue.
