Posted by Bonnie | July 15, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Social Security Disability

A+ Attorney

I recently contacted Sonia Ickes to represent my daughter, who has been fighting Glioblastoma Multiforma, Stage 4 brain cancer since 2016. My daughter also had a stroke (caused by the past radiation treatments of her brain cancer) in December 2018 which caused her to become legally blind. My daughter... needed to be on disability through the Social Security Administration so that she could also obtain Medicare for her treatments. Sonia had represented clients in the past on Social Security disability and did such an amazing job that I wanted to hire her to represent my daughter. I was wise in my choice of Sonia Ickes. Sonia agreed to take the case. She was very thorough, kind, and competent. She was always available to take questions (we had many), and she got the claim into the Social Security Administration quickly. My daughter received her Social Security Disability in just a few weeks. We could not have done this without Sonia. Sonia is a really intelligent, caring, and highly competent attorney. I can't say enough good about Sonia and her professionalism.

Terrible experience. Be warned not to hire Sonia Huntsman Ickes.

Ms. Ickes did a terrible job during the time I hired her to represent me. She chose her own course; never kept me informed; did not prepare me for hearing; instead of doing her job in the courtroom, she chit chatted with the opposing attorney. When the hearing had a negative outcome, she did not cou...nsel or advise me of next steps. Shoddy paperwork. Be forewarned.

Trusted, knowledgeable, passionate, professional lawyer!

At difficult times in our lives we need someone we can trust to help protect the things most dear to us. We need someone who knows our rights, someone who cares, someone who is respected and admired in her field. Sonia is all of these things and so much more!

Compassionate, Dedicated to her Clients, Professional, Dependable, AMAZING!

No words can clearly express my gratitude to Sonia Huntsman-Ickes. She has been my attorney on 2 very tough cases. One in which she protected my rights as a mother and fought for the best interest of my children. She won that case, hands down, and kept our family together. The 2nd case, we are st...ill in the middle of and she amazes me everyday with her dedication to the case and compassion for what I have been through. She does not procrastinate, but gets things done quickly. When she brings your case to opposing councel and the judge, she is very prepared and offers clear and understandable evidence. She is incredibly smart and knows the laws. And what she isnt sure about, she researches and learns every aspect. She works very hard for your case, is very easy to get ahold of and returns all calls and emails immediately. She is passionate about her clients and offers great compassion. My life would be very different without her assistance. I will be forever grateful to her. I have had attorneys in the past and no one has ever offered such great dedication to the cause. You can do no better than Sonia. You will never regret hiring her. She is worth more than money can ever buy and she is worth every penny of her time. My life is forever changed and protected because of Sonia Huntsman-Ickes. Forever.

  • 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.
