Highly Recommended!

Mr. Sohigian represented our garment company against a claim that was both legally and emotionally challenging. He came up with an aggressive and creative strategy to defend against the claims, and was able to force the other side to dismiss its claims with prejudice – a complete victory! Throughout ...the case he was responsive and compassionate, always available to answer questions, discuss concerns, or explain what was going on. I give him my highest recommendation.

Secondhand Smoke Nuisance Abated!

Mike Sohigian and John Birke won us a precedent setting preliminary injunction protecting us from the secondhand smoke assault of our neighbors. They parlayed this win into a settlement agreement that made our protections permanent, and they did so all at the expense of our hostile and negligent hom...eowners' association. These guys are the absolute best at what they do, and they fought as hard for us as the grievances we were suffering were their own. Highly recommended!

I can not recommend him enough.

I have a great working relationship with Michael Sohigian. I had been injured and my case took a while to sort out, not his fault, but I was kept well informed and the results were better than expected. I had never been involved in any legal case before and was a bit worried about being overwhelmed... but it was all quite simple and orderly. I can not recommend him enough.

Defending our Company

Mike is articulate, extremely intelligent, with a complete understanding of the laws. In defending our Company, Mike was completely on top of his game and well prepered each and every day from discovery, depositions and throughout trial.

Most Caring Lawyer

Mr. Sohigian has represented us in a rather complicated real estate fraud case that many other lawyers refused to take. He got involved before even signing a retainer agreement or receiving any money. He is the most caring lawyer I have ever met. He is passionate about the case. He is highly deta...il oriented and spends ample time to understand the case and devise strategies and plans to win. He is always quick to respond and is excellent in communicating the progress of the case in each and every step. He goes out of his way to make sure that the outcome of the case is favorable. He is highly experienced and knowledgeable, and if there is some aspect of the case that he doesn't know, he simply says so and tries to research it. It has certainly been a pleasure having him as our attorney in our case and I would recommend him wholeheartedly.
