I provide effective representation for felonies and misdemeanors, charge compassionate fees, and seek results my clients can live with to get on with their lives.

Parents want legal help but also need their kids to be clearly told if they did wrong and how to behave in the future. I balance those wants and needs; I explain to everyone what is happening with their cases and where we are going from here.

A MAN WHO KNOWS THE LAW

My life had changed drastically, it had been turned upsidedown. I needed legal assistant. I was reffered to Mr. Sorkin. I have to admit that the first conversation lasted 10 minutes, he immediately expessed his consern and advised us of the options. I met with him on several occations and on each ins...tance he answered all of my questions, he kept a positive attitude, and gave me the peace of mind that i desperately needed. Mr. Sorkin walked us through a very difficult month. He left no stone unturned and he challenged the charges vigorously. Like i mentioned one month. That is how fast it took for our case to get dismissed. I cant emphasize enough how thankfull i am for all of his work.

A Trusted Friend

I had a legal issue come up in the past. I needed a Lawyer. With some help from my wife, we found Ellery Sorkin in the Yellow Pages. My wife and I went in and met him. He took the time to hear me out. He listened to what I had to say. I listened to what my options were. Ellery Sorkin is my lawyer and... will be far into the future. He is there when you need him. My wife calls Ellery whenever she has a concern. Ellery has lots of knowledge of the law. If for some reason he can't answer your question, he has contacts in the legal world. No one knows when your going to need a lawyer. But if you do, Ellery is the one you want on your side. Day or Night. My wife speaks to him more often than myself. He likes to hear that were doing good and that there are no issues. I would have to say that Ellery's fee's are reasonable.

  • 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.
