Hire David for workplace disputes!

David was knowledgeable and honest. He spent time before the consult reviewing my case details and then made time to talk and give me helpful and realistic advice. He answered all my questions with amazing patience and kindness. I felt like he was in my corner and would 100% recommend hiring Davi...d.

Highly recommended and incredibly professional

I had an urgent employment/separation situation, and a Harvard alum referred David. David immediately responded and answered all my questions extremely professionally and thoughtfully. He's also very transparent about his experience and potential conflicts. I'm truly grateful for David's help, in par...ticular on such short notice. I highly recommend David to anyone who's looking for attorney in this field.

professional, prompt, and detailed

I was referred to David for help with my work contract negotiation, and I’m glad I went with him! He was very prompt in getting back to me for my many questions, which I really appreciated since I had never done this before. He gave me detailed advice on my situation, explained what was reasonable to... ask for, and how to negotiate. I felt like he understood my situation well and what might work best for me. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants clear, straightforward guidance and quick responses.

Professional and Highly Capable

David provided excellent guidance in helping me navigate and negotiate my employer contract. They took the time to explain the key terms in a way that was easy to understand, making sure I felt confident throughout the process. Their expertise and strategic advice helped me secure a much better outco...me than I originally expected. I highly recommend David for anyone looking for professional and effective contract advice.

David Sohn is fantastic!!!

I had never sued anyone or been part of any litigation. I was intimidated and didn't know what things meant or what I had to do. David came highly recommended and was part of a short list of lawyers I was given by a friend of a friend. After speaking with all of them, David was the guy. He was ex...tremely friendly, very patient, answered all my questions and really helped me navigate thru the process. He was prompt in his responses and treated me so kindly and respectfully. I hope I never have a reason to speak with him again but if I need someone, he will always be the person I go to. Thank you, David!!!

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.
