Be very careful before hiring this attorney

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 Sosa as per below has been suspended once and should be again - HE IS A LIAR!!!!!!

Carlos Sosa is one of the rudest man that I have ever come across. Last month he was caught in so many lies before the judge it wasn't even funny. Even below he has already been suspended. He is unprofessional, inflates his prices and the worst attorney know to earth! Spread the word. He was rep...orted to the bar association and I pray they either suspend him again or disbar him! He is a disgrace to this state and to all attorney's.
