Amazing attention to detail!

Somita has helped me with my estate planning needs and with reviews of business investment opportunities. Her attention to detail is extremely impressive. All my questions were answered with the utmost respect, and I can’t recommend Somita and her partner Zakiya enough. Thank you!

"Somita Basu is one of the most energetic and intelligent attorneys I know. She is diligent, thorough, hard-working and - best of all - she is an incredible person to be around. She understands the law and the complexity required to ensure your estate plan stands the test of time. Her demeanor is professional and knowledgeable which is important should you ever need her to appear in court on your behalf. She will take excellent care of you because she cares. I highly recommend Somita."

Relationship: Co-worker

"Somita is an extremely smart, hard-working attorney. She takes time to ensure things are done efficiently and precisely, but more than that, she treats each of her clients with class, dignity, and respect. Somita takes the time to explain complex legal concepts to her clients in terms they can understand. If I had to choose someone to be my litigator and/or personal attorney, Somita would be my first choice."

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.

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.
