Got pulled over for DWI

Called Sonia after going home from a club with friends. Sonia was great and handled it for me. She was constantly in touch with me and she got me a great deal.

Sonia to the Rescue!

I needed a great lawyer on very short notice to resolve an active warrant - I called Sonia, and the next morning she was in court with me. Sonia was able to reduce my misdemeanor to a traffic infraction, and was very communicative and professional throughout the whole process. I would absolutely reco...mmend her to anyone in need of defense!

Sonia went way above the call of duty

Sonia went above and beyond the call of duty to help my husband and I with a case against him regarding a physical fight. He was looking at felony charges. She was able to get the charges reduced to a lesser charge with 1-year probation. Sonia answered every question we had. She made time to answer a...ll of our texts and calls before, during, and even after the trial had passed. She has the experience and knowledge to help with any issues you are experiencing and I will not question or hesitate on having her be our lawyers again. She doesn't make assumptions and is always prepared. She doesn't sugar coat anything. She is very professional. Sonia genuinely cares about her clients and their families. She always has your best interest when defending you. She will let you know if there is a cheaper more efficient route or offer to take. She will be completely honest throughout the whole consultation, case, and trial. If you contact anyone else, then you are making a big mistake. I honestly can't thank Sonia enough for what she did for my family.

DWI Charge

Sonia is one of the very best. She is very patient and kind. She worked very hard on my DWI case and I was very impressed with her skills in court. She is one of the best at what she does. She always kept me up to date with what was going on with my case. I couldn't lose my license as I am a nanny... for a family and I have to take the kids to school.

Exceptional Attorney

I was referred to Sonia after I got into a really bad auto accident. Sonia was the first lawyer I felt I could trust, and this was after calling several. She not only answered the phone when I called but was with me the whole way. I got way more than I thought. Good to know they are still some go...od lawyers out there.

"Sonia is an amazing attorney and a warrior. She goes out of her way for clients and is aggressive and proactive with making the state prove their case. I remember once case where there was no certification for the officer's training and instead of taking the DA's word and folding, she held to them to fire. It turned that the DA "OVERLOOKED" the officer's training and he was not certified to operate the machine. Case was dismissed! She is also a lawyer's lawyer and helps out other attorneys in the community."
