Great Lawyer with Great Support

Special Education Teacher

On March 11, 2020, before the COVID-19 shutdown, while on disability my school district decided to call me to inform me that I had two options: To resign as of then or finish the school year off knowing that I wouldn’t be reassigned. To me, it was the end of my career, and that is when a reliable L...awyer recommended SOTTILE BALTAXE law office. I am very grateful for their service. The team counseled me, spoke with empathy, and supported me emotionally when needed. Words cannot express what the team did for me. They believed in me and in my ability to work when not even I did. Thank you for representing me and winning my case. My family and I appreciate you all.

Excellent Experience with Tim Sottile

I just had a phone consultation with Tim Sottile and am so grateful I contacted him. He was referred to me by a coworker who had nothing but praise for him. I'm a long-winded talker, but Tim listened patiently to hear my situation, gave excellent advice, and if my issues aren't resolved, I'll be cont...acting him for his full services. He spent at least an hour talking with me on a Friday night. That's dedication to his profession and shows he is truly interested in understanding the experience of a client. Thank you, Tim. It was very nice speaking with you. You relieved some of my anxiety by simply advising wisely. You have a great sense of humor, too! - Mary

Thank you!!!!

I can not thank this law firm and the team of people they have in the office enough for everything they did for me. They made me feel safe and comfortable through everything. They listened to every concern, and everything else I had to say. They helped me feel confident in something I’ve never had to... handle before. They answered every question and explained everything in a way I could understand and were 110% honest with me. I found hope again. I will recommend them to anyone and everyone.

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.
