The only lawyer you'll ever need

I've known and worked with David for a few years now, and I was referred to him by a trusted colleague. I had zero prior experience with any type of litigation and the lawsuit really took a huge toll on my mental well-being. I was honest with David about my anxieties around the financial burden and... unknowns this lawsuit would bring to my life. From the start, David was extremely empathetic and prioritized building trust with me. He knew how to listen and always provided transparent, sound legal guidance that evolved my anxiety to a lot of confidence that we were moving forward in the best way possible. I used to be worried that law firms would bill enormous hours without clear reasons why, but David is the exact opposite. He is extremely efficient with his work, and knew the right moments to ask me for help so he doesn't have to bill me for work that I could provide -- this way, we were maximizing his expertise while minimizing billable hours. And make no mistake -- as kind as he is, David is also a fierce negotiator and will fight for your best interests when working with opposing counsel as he did for me numerous times. I really appreciate David treating me like a human and investing in our relationship v/s just another revenue source. I'm happy to say I made it out of the litigation in one piece with a great outcome and attribute it all to David's counsel. It's never a fun ride to go through legal battles, however I know who to call if I or anyone else in my life needs support. Thank you!

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.

Very professional and caring

David is very professional and return my email and calls instantly. My son was wrongfully accused of something he didn't do in school. David gave me professional advise and helped to resolve my case promptly. He also sent follow up emails to make sure everything was going well. I strongly recommen...ded David if you ever have any legal matters.

Employment Attorney

David was very helpful explaining the terms of my employment to me. He was easy to reach and quick to respond. I had my matter resolved in days.

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.
