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!

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.

Responsive, with Great Attention to Detail where it Matters

I'm a C-level executive in the Healthcare industry, and I met David through a personal referral when I needed an employment attorney. David is an articulate, seasoned attorney who is a pleasure to work with, and takes your concerns seriously; he also explains legal issues in common everyday language... terms, so our discussions went quicker as a result. I look forward to working with him again whenever I have a legal concern -- I highly recommend his services.

Knowledgeable and responsive

I was a Senior Director of HR at a nonprofit organization, and David was my trusted HR counsel. He is busy, but very responsive. As HR matters are often time sensitive, it was a relief to know that I'd be able to get on a call with him without a long wait. David is thorough in listening & gatherin...g information, evaluating the cases and has a lot of experience in the field. He will advise conservatively (as many lawyers would), but is also able to help you weigh the risks and calibrate your response to the situation. I have also invited him to brief other staff on some cases, who are not in the HR work, and he was always respectful in answering any questions. I highly recommend David Sohn.
