Awesome

Sophia took on my slip and fall claim 5 years ago. She was with me personable the whole 5 years. We settled a couple weeks ago for an amount I didn't think we would get. Sophia is a boss and will get you money in your favor.

Best attorney anyone could ask for

She worked tirelessly on my case which unfortunately was a dog attack. She was very transparent on everything that involved my case, answered all questions very throughly. She is an attorney that actually cares for her clients versus attorneys that only care about their payout. If you need an attorney go with Sofia Miguel, you won’t regret it.

Tremendous results

I worked with Ms. Miguel and her staff for over a year on my insurance claim due to my car being totaled in an accident that was not my fault. Even though the other driver was fully insured, the insurance company was somewhat uncooperative(typical)....dragging their feet and trying very hard to pay as little as possible. After standing firm and in the end “suggesting” to let my settlement be handled in court, they finally found the funds to make restitution... Ms. Miguel and her staff kept in touch with me consistently, even through this trying time. Keeping me informed every step of the way. Thank you so much Sophia! You and your staff should be highly complimented(and compensated!) for your tenacity, knowledge, and a job well done!! Thank you all again!!! Darla M.

Very Good

She was the only attorney I spoke with that actually paid attention to the little details which made all the difference in the world with my case. I highly recommend her.

Great person to have in your corner!

Sofia is a great attorney to have on your side advocating on your behalf. She spent countless hours working my motor vehicle accident case to ensure we got the results we deserved. Even against unexpected odds, Sofia was still able to argue a very strong case with good results. Thank you again, Sofia!

Excellent Lawyer

Sofia is truly excellent, she is always available and return calls fast. Never felt rushed when talking to her. Her assistant would check on me periodically. Working with her was breeze. I had a roll over accident, many surgeries and lots of people to deal with and she made my life very easy. When insurance called me I just had to direct them to her and go back and focus on my healing. She even found ways to contact me when I was out of the country. She made sure I got everything that I deserved and I am happy with how it all turned out.

Attorney for the year

Not only was I involved in a nasty auto accident, my personal life, I was dealing with a slew of problems. Sofia Miguel noticed this. Not only did she fight for me to give me the absolutely best settlement she was compassionate yet professional. She was just not a top knotch attorney but human. Her assistant is warm and welcoming. Two of the best smiles out there...I appreciate you Sofia!!

Motorcycle accident

I hired Sofia Miguel when I was hit by a car while on my motorcycle. After numerous calls from insurance companies wanting me to sign I decided to hire Sofia. She took the worry and the hassle out of the experience. This allowed me to focus on care and recovery. She was very professional and aggressive on my behalf to make sure I got the care I needed and compensation. I highly recommend to give her a call if the need arises.

Sofia Miguel has got to be one of the best!

I was in a very minor car accident but still needed medical treatment. After a phone call from the responsible party's insurance telling me that I would be fine and done with treatment in 3 weeks I decided I better get a lawyer for the first time in my life. I am very glad I did. Sofia handled everything beautifully and explained every step thoroughly. She was very professional and knew exactly how to handle my case. My settlement was more than I expected and I was very impressed by Sofia's ability to navigate the legalities. She was also keen to represent my wishes in certain decisions to be made and she made the entire experience easier to go through. I would feel very confident in using her services at any time in the future.

A Pleasure to work with.

Sofia was friendly, very easy to work with, and responsive to my calls and emails. She took care of everything as I went about life, kept me updated, and ultimately called to tell me we were ready to settle.

Amazing experience!

Sofia and her assistant Alaina were so awesome to work with! Sofia works hard and truly fights for her clients to find justice. She is in your corner through the entire process and remains dedicated, compassionate, trustworthy, and loyal. She fought for me and worked on my case for over a year, never backing down and never giving up. As a result, she got me the settlement I deserved while her and her assistant Alaina fought for what was right and made the entire process stress-free by dealing with all parties involved, giving me time to recover from major injuries and getting back on my feet after being hit head on in an auto accident by a distracted driver. I give Sofia two very enthusiastic thumbs up and highly reccomend her to handle your case!

Blown away!

I have had lawyers in the past that I have had to track down and Sofia was not like that! She was always prompt with responses and explained/informed me of every move that was made in my case until it was finished! I highly recommend Sofia and will use her services again in the future if needed!

Surpassed my expectations 100%

I am not one to write reviews but felt completely compelled to do so regarding the unparalleled work that Sofia Miguel has done on my family’s case! She has been extremely through in the detail of our case, her communication (both through phone, texts, emails, and mailed material) is both informative and purposeful as much as it is comforting to know that your case is actually being looked at and continuously worked on. She is unpretentious in attitude and lets her work speak for itself. If we are ever in need of an attorney again, Sofia Miguel will be our first call!
