Professional Honest and Caring

Johnny Sorenson helped dispell some stereotypes I had about lawyers. From day one Mr. Sorenson had my family's best interests at the forefront of he and his teams mind. It was never about a paycheck. They cared about us as people. He was always timely with relaying pertinent information and always ke...pt us in the "loop". He and his team would routinely reach out just to check on my family's well being and if we needed anything. Johnny Sorenson is a hell of a lawyer but he's an even better person and family man. I'm thankful that he took our case but I'm even more thankful that he turned out to be a better person than what was advertised. Would definitely recommend.

If you need a law team, this is the place!

Johnny and his team helped me and my husband during a really hard time. We were hit by a drunk driver and didn’t know where to turn to help with all of our medical bills and being out of a car. We were lucky to know someone who works for Johnny who was able to provide us direction. We are grateful fo...r this team who helped us get a settlement and made it very easy and stress free. No one ever plans on needing a lawyer but if you do, he is the one to go with. Thanks again!

Wonderful

Johnny and team were exceptional. I was referred to their firm after my car accident. From the moment I met them, I knew I was in good hands. Each associate that I talked with were very polite and professional. They took care of everything in a timely manner. I would Highly recommend them. As a matte...r of fact, my friend who came with me a few times to the office, said if she ever needed a lawyer she would call them.

Compassionate legal experts

I was especially fortunate to have been referred to The Sorenson Law Firm after a serious burn injury. Having limited to no experience with lawsuits and lawyers, I was unsure of how to proceed with any type of litigation against a large corporation. Johnny Sorenson, Matthew Nicely, and the rest... of the team put my concerns to rest because of their decades of experience working with large corporations - as well as smaller businesses and individuals such as myself. They were professional, helpful, and thorough in handling all aspects of my case. Early on, their efforts allowed me to focus on my recovery, and I could rest knowing they were working diligently on my behalf. As the case progressed, they worked assiduously to depose all necessary personnel, request document after document, and discuss each and every angle of my case. Solely due to their efforts, I had a favorable outcome and am incredibly grateful for their hard work and relentless advocacy on my behalf.

"I am pleased to write this endorsement concerning the legal abilities of Johnny Sorenson. He truly is one of the best all-around attorneys I have ever met. I have practiced accident law for 48 years, and I have met many lawyers, that are also excellent and seasoned trial lawyers. If I were in a serious accident, I would choose Johnny Sorenson as my own personal lawyer. I know I would probably get a recovery in the top 1 - 2 percent results. I would also get the backup help of his excellent seasoned trial lawyers that are a part of his own law firm. I run a group of approximately fifty (50) law firms that all practice in different areas of law. They all know of Johnny’s brilliance, willingness to help other attorneys, common sense, fortitude to take the tough cases, kindness, plus other qualitites that all make him a true “Lawyer’s Lawyer.” Johnny runs his entire law firm efficiently and for the best interest of his many clients."

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.
