Exceeded Expectations

The Sorenson Law Firm represented my family with an accident / injury case over the course of a year. Johnny and Matt were friendly, professional and pleasant to work with in this unfortunate situation of ours. They worked on resolving our medical bills, employer insurance, and representation all o...ver the course of a year while keeping us well informed and up to date. They listened to our needs and wants and I really appreciate how good they were at understanding what we wanted and then explaining to us what our best options were. Working with the Firm was an entirely pleasant experience from beginning to end because of their true commitment to the client. They were honest and direct with their advice and counsel. I feel very fortunate to have had them working for us and they far exceeded our hopes and expectations in their services, time and settlement! Thank you Sorenson Law Firm!

So lucky to have the whole Sorensen team behind us!

We were so grateful to have the Sorenson Law Firm representing us in a liability case involving the actions of our minor son. It was a frivolous lawsuit filed by greedy parents, but had the potential to become very ugly, expensive, and high-profile at his high school. When the case started, Johnn...y and Matthew did a fantastic job of explaining the plaintiff's case against us and letting us know what to expect. They never made any wild promises, but reassured us that the truth would come out and that we were in good hands. As the case progressed, and the plaintiff's attorneys resisted producing any evidence to back their claims, the team kept us informed of all progress (or lack thereof). When miscellaneous emails and court notices would appear, they always took our frantic phone calls to explain and calm us down. The case was settled under even better circumstances than we could have hoped. The plaintiff's attorneys stalled the process at every opportunity to drag the case out for almost 2 years. It was Johnny and Matthew that kept after them, requesting evidence and updates, pushing for the case to progress, and ultimately led to the plaintiff agreeing to settle. We truly feel fortunate to have had the Sorenson Law Firm represent us in this case. We felt that they understood our situation and let us know that we weren't terrible parents because our son had gotten in a bit of trouble. Thank you, Johnny and Matthew, for everything you have done for us!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."
