Very helpful, informative and attentive

I only had the pleasure to have a consult with David but even in that short amount of time he offered such great advice. He truly went above and beyond as he went well past his free consultation time not only to listen to my whole story but also gave me advice and guidance how I may be entitled to mo...re money. Although I didn’t have enough for a case, I’m definitely going back to David the day I do and/or have him help negotiate an edit package. Super smart and friendly.! Thank you David!

Excellent Service and Successful Work

David Sohn was excellent to work with. I needed someone to help me negotiate a severance package when I was transitioning out of my work as the director of a nonprofit. The case was a little tricky due to local politics but he was deeply knowledgeable about our situation and helped in all the right w...ays. We worked to achieve a successful outcome and I'm happy to have had him on my team. His demeanor was cool, calm and collected not to mention he was always very positive throughout the process. I would definitely recommend him and would hire him again myself.

Informative, Communicative, and Excellent

I recently hired David for a matter related to employment law. He is extremely knowledgable and was great at answering all my questions in a clear and accessible manner. He is also very prompt and responsive with all communications. David is committed to excellent outcomes -- he completed a document ...review I needed ahead of schedule (and it had a very tight timeline to begin with). 100% recommend.

Not So Great Experience

I engaged with this law firm and would like to share my experience to help others make an informed choice. I found the communication from the lawyer and their team to be less than satisfactory, which made me feel somewhat overlooked. There was a noticeable deficiency in both effective communication a...nd empathy, and my questions often went unaddressed in a thorough manner. This experience underscored for me the importance of choosing legal services that prioritize client engagement and professionalism. I recommend others carefully consider these aspects when selecting a law firm to ensure their needs are adequately met.

Replied last May 21, 2024

We provided a free initial consultation, which this reviewer (a well-compensated financial professional) acknowledged to be very helpful. During the consultation, we informed him that we would have to bill for our time if he wanted any further consultations. Several months later, he reached out and expressed interest in a further consultation. He would not, however, sign an engagement letter. He wanted us to provide him with more free legal services. We weren’t willing to do so.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
