Sonja S. Duckstein

Sonja is the best!! Dog bites happen all too frequently not at the owners fault! Unfortunately just because you are the owner of the animal who but someone it makes you legally responsible. If you ever are in this situation and need a qualified, experienced attorney who will fight for you and take th...e best care of you, call Sonja!! She is the best in the business and I would hands down recommend her over anyone else in the greater Phoenix area!! Thanks for all that you do Sonja! You are appreciated!!

I had met with other attorneys before I found Sonja Duckstein on AVVO. None compared to her. She not only settled my case, she saved me from going into debt. Imagine your worst nightmare: getting ran over in a crosswalk across from your work and waking up in super girl underwear and not feeling like ...a super girl at all. That was me. The financial stress and the worry of how this affected my family made it impossible to focus on my health. Sonja Duckstein invested more time and attention to this matter than even half of what I was able to invest into it. She even represented me with some of the doctors that were greedy and getting out of line. When one of the doctors questioned me about it I proudly responded "she makes these decisions because she is representing my best interests". This accident has changed my life and it is pretty devastating. I know that she really went above and beyond in representing me and for that, I am able to move forward with my life. Maybe I won't have the life that I dreamed of, but it will still be a good life because of Sonja Duckstein.

I don’t recommend Sonja Duckstein as a defender for any DUI case. Not only did she push to plea right away, she tried to charge me an additional $3,000 for a revocation packet that only cost me $105 to do myself. Her lousy defense has ruined my life and kept me from employment for two years. I’m home...less! She didn’t even interview the officer who lied about almost every single charge and detail regarding the stop. If I knew the damage that she allowed the prosecutor and a dishonest officer of the law was going do to my reputation, I would have never given her a second chance. She also promised to get the charges set aside; more bs. She did almost nothing to win my case. She’s doesn’t fight for anything but increasing her fees and minimizing her workload. Sonja is more of a prosecutor than a defender and it shows. Sonja is a dishonest defender and doesn’t give a hoot about her clients.

On one occasion I was facing prison time for an aggravated DUI and Sonja was able to bargain for work-release jail instead, effectively saving my career. On another occasion, I was facing an assault charge and Sonja was able to get the case dismissed before I even appeared in court! She also handled ...my set-aside for a very fair rate. On top of her performance, she and Marcy are very prompt and pleasant to talk to. Over the years, with them on side, I've been well taken care of and can honestly say I feel like I've gotten more than my money's worth.

When I injured my back from an auto collision, Sonja Duckstein went to work immediately to ensure that I received good medical attention and initiated contact with the insurance company. She was able to negotiate a settlement that was much more than what the insurance company initially offered. She... was a pleasure to work with and always showed that she represented by best interests.
