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 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!

I can understand why Mr. David Sohn is rated 5 star 100%

I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Sohn and gained a great respect for the Sohn Legal Group. Very professional, organized, very knowledgeable, diligent, organized materials for presentation to be easily understood, always had a great concern for the client above all and doing this with a close w...atch on the costs for the client. This group, I believe, puts the client first over themselves, their normal attitude. Great Legal Group.

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.
