AVVO's rating is totally wrong about me. I am a caring, thoughtful and competent attorney. Thank you for taking the time to read this. My practice for over 25 years is all about defending people's legal rights, both in their employment and in alleged criminal activities. I try to keep my fees as low as possible so that even a minimal wage person can afford to get legal help. I also take pro bono cases, meaning I do not charge at all, in certain types of cases. I really enjoy people, and really enjoy helping them. I work with minorities, especially the Hispanic population, as I am fluent in Spanish. I have been complimented by many collegues and judges over the years for my representation of my clients. Call me, and I will be glad to discuss your case with you on a free phone consultation.

Repesented me in a Wrongful Discharge case
Sona was quick to respond to my initial request. We briefly discussed the situation by phone and set an appointment. Upon meeting, I felt I had known Ms. Joiner for years. She was extremely compassionate, personable and very knowledgeable. We discussed my situation and Sona offered a number of op...

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2004.
Reprimand issued in OR, 2004
updated on 12/05/2009This means the lawyer did something wrong but the bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
Suspension - Disciplinary issued in OR, 1995
updated on 11/26/2014This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
