Carlos Manuel Sosa III

I hired Carlos Manuel Sosa III for my divorce case, and my experience was deeply disappointing and damaging. After a year and a half of representation and over $30,000 paid in legal fees, he withdrew from my case during a critical stage. This left me in a very difficult position and forced me to urge...ntly hire new counsel under pressure, resulting in additional legal costs and negative outcomes. This experience has had serious legal and financial consequences for me. I filed a complaint with the Washington State Bar (Office of Disciplinary Counsel). On March 17, 2026, the attorney was formally placed on notice. Following several months of investigation, the ODC confirmed findings that the attorney’s conduct fell short of the professional standards expected of lawyers. Based on my experience during this process, I felt that information I shared in confidence was later used in ways that did not protect my interests when responding to the complaint. This was very concerning to me. I strongly advise others to be cautious with the information they share and to make sure they fully understand how their case is being handled. The emotional and financial damage I experienced during such a vulnerable time has been significant, and it will take time to rebuild. Be aware of this attorney. Spread the word!

Carlos comes off like he is King Kong. But he likes to berate you, take your money, give you timelines, and then not follow them. God forbid you ask why he isn't doing what he said, he will yell at you, and if you persist in asking he just withdraws from the case. His arguments are weaker than circu...s lemonade in my opinion. Wasted 2 month of my life. I've had to hire lots of attorneys over the last 25 years for many different things. Don't waste your time, energy or money. Total lost cause. But he will tell you his accolades & what he's done in the past. swipe left.

I was referred to Carlos from a friend who practices a different field of law. He was highly recommended for his expertise, effectiveness and ability to achieve results in family law. Upon initial contact, I was impressed by the responsiveness of his office. Unlike a previous attorney I hired, I fo...und Mr. Sosa to be compassionate yet realistic in regards to expectations. I would hire Mr. Sosa for any future legal needs.
