"I have such respect for Rande Sotomayor. She is experienced, incredibly smart, and empathetic. You can speak with Rande with the greatest of ease all the while knowing you are being cared for both as a client and as a human being. She is the mediation and arbitration attorney who sets the bar too high for everyone else. She is not only one of my favorite people, but also one of my favorite attorneys."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I used Ms. Sotomayor as a mediator in a real estate litigation matter with positive results. The case was settled with a fair and reasonable outcome for all parties. Ms. Sotomayor was professional, well prepared, and demonstrated a keen eye and ability to navigate through some tough legal issues. Ms. Sotomayor worked tirelessly to bring the matter to its final conclusion, and took the time to ensure that a full Compromise Agreement and Mutual Release memorializing all terms was signed by all parties before the mediation concluded. Additionally, Ms. Sotomayor demonstrated that she was conscientious of managing the mediation costs by addressing the issues that were the most important head-on and early in the process, thereby avoiding countless hours of unproductive time spent on superfluous issues."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Rande is a phenomenal mediator! She was instrumental in settling several extremely difficult cases for our firm. She is a sharp mediator who knows when to listen, when to push and what to do in difficult situations. She is willing to go out of her way to make sure that all options are exhausted before the parties walk away from a settlement. Moreover, her prices are extremely reasonable and her professionalism is second to none. We highly recommend her!"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
