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.

Terrible Attorney. Charged us $9,000 to do a modification of child support to save us $100 per month. He should have told us that our case couldn't be appealed for 2 years and saved us the $9,000. Basically went to court 2 years before I was allowed and paid him $9000 to find that out and lose our... case. Also, had to pay another $2000 for respondents attorney fees. Terrible attorney. If you want to lose and throw your money away then use this attorney. I am amazed this man is allowed to practice law.

I have always had good luck with attorneys in the past. I have needed the assistants of 3 attorney's total in my life up to date. Carlos Sosa lied up and down to me. There is no reason my bill should have been over 10,000.00 for what he did he should have paid me. If you are looking to give your m...oney away and waste your tine then call this guy! I believed everything he said in regards to my family case to be an open and shut deal. He messed up my paperwork 4 times. 4 times!!! He lost my family case, over charged me and tried to blame it on me. I received 2 phone calls from him with him asking me questions about the wrong case!

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.
