Wonderful!

I had the pleasure of being represented by David in a lawsuit earlier this year. His work was so quick and thorough that I was able to get my settlement check (which was far more than I had initially expected) within 2 weeks of filing. If I ever have a need for representation against an employer aga...in, David will be the first person I call.

Class Action Experience

David worked on a class action lawsuit involving a company I used to intern for. The company did not pay their interns and it was an overall terrible experience. Several former interns got together to take part in the lawsuit. David did a wonderful job reaching a settlement and I am happy with my cla...im amount! He really cares about helping people.

Great Attorney- Very Knowledgeable and Trustworthy

I have known David for many years. He is super intelligent and has a deep understanding of his specialty. I had the opportunity to work with David and he was very succinct, transparent and gave the right advice.

Not just a brilliant attorney, but a great person

I came to find David by happenstance, I had tried to retain the services of another firm but it turned out they were too busy at the time so they recommended my case to David, I couldn't be happier about that. David worked tirelessly on my case, to the point that at times I even thought "Man it's Sun...day don't you ever get a day off", but he works when there is work to be done. He was always available to me, very prompt in his responses and thorough if I ever had a question. He explained everything and made sure I was never confused about what was going on, always involved so that I never felt this was all happening without me and out of my control. His work was nothing short of brilliant and even though employment cases are VERY long, and exhaustive processes I could not have been happier with the final result. Aside from that, David always began each conversation with inquiries about me and my personal well being and that of my family and newborn daughter, with obvious and genuine concern, never just preamble you could tell he really cared and took a genuine interest in me and my family. He doesn't talk down or condescend he speaks like a peer and always made sure that I understood what was happening at every turn and what my options were, he gave excellent advice and, again, did amazing work, far beyond what I expected.I can't recommend David highly enough, if his academic and professional accomplishments are not enough, then take it from me, you couldn't do better than to have David in your corner.

Attorney with Results

I was intimidated to fight my former employer for wrongful termination, gender & disability discrimination. I was so thankful I was referred to David Sohn who genuinely cares about his clients and had the patience to answer all of my questions. He took the time to explain up front what I would be fa...cing and what options I had. David informed me of my rights and explained the law to my full understanding where I was able to provide the evidence to help my case. We worked as a team and we were successful in reaching a very favorable settlement. I highly recommend David Sohn for Employment Law. He will not disappoint!

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.
