Edward Lloyd Somogyi

I can't believe this deviant and utterly dishonest human still practices law. Save your money and either go in pro per or find someone with morals and at least fakes it ever so often that he's at least happy 2% of the time. He'll cheat you, then laugh right at you. Never ever, again, not in this lif...etime

My friend paid for Edward to represent her and he never once worked on her case. She paid a retaining fee of 8 k and she got his assistant to represent her. Heather is who is representing my friend. She has never once done anything in a timely matter at all. She lies constantly. She asks for payment... in a timely matter every time. My friend has now paid over 16 grand and NOTHING has been done. She seems to be on the ex husbands side more than the client who OS PAYING HER. She says she will do something then it takes weeks or it doesn’t even happen. It seems like she’s drags things out to get another check from my friend. This is a huge warning to go with any other law firm in the area. This firm is by far the worst I’ve ever seen. I wish I could go into more details and I will when the case is over.

Ed Somogyi was appointed by the court to act as minors counsel for my children in 2011. We were ordered to pay about 1/4 of his hourly rate - and because of this, we received about 10% of his time and attention (if that). For three years, I plead with him to help me protect my children and got nowher...e. He was appointed to be their voice and advocate in the Family court system and in my opinion, he failed. Thankfully, the court finally protected my children in 2014 but it should've happened much earlier if Ed would have actually done his job. Because of my own journey, I have become a family court advocate and I hear complaints about Ed Somogyi constantly, even from the people who have paid his full, ungodly hourly rate. Based on my own experience and the experiences of others, I could never recommend Ed Somogyi to anyone.

He has no time for his clients. He has WAY too many clients to pay attention to anyone's case. Doesn't respond to calls, e-mails from clients or communications from opposing attorneys. All he does is put out forest fires. His office is a billing machine so check each entry with a fine tooth comb.... You'd be better served by an attorney who manages his/her caseload in such a way as to pay attention to your case. Definitely stay away from him.

Ed did a fantastic job with our very complicated paternity/adoption case. He put together an excellent case and did a fantastic job when we got to court. The only problem is a good one - it's hard to get in with him because he's got so many clients. If you can get in, though, it'll be well worth the ...retainer. Highly recommend!
