Worth the rate

David's rate made me wonder if I wanted to sign an engagement letter at first, but after going through with it I think it was well worth the cost. He's very knowledgeable, and looked at my case from more than one perspective to see if I had leverage I was not aware of (which I did, and knowing that w...iped out any doubt about whether I was being overly sensitive). He set clear expectations on what outcomes I could reasonably (and unreasonably) expect, so I was comfortable in making my decisions. He also educated me on what my worker's rights are, and gave me nuggets of information (both legal and interpersonal) so I can be more savvy the next time I encounter a toxic work situation. I hope I never have to call on David again, but he would be my first choice attorney if I had to.

Counsel that is a true Partner

I have had the privilege of collaborating with David Sohn over the course of several years, and he has consistently been an exceptional legal partner. David’s responsiveness, attentiveness, and commitment to collaboration have made him invaluable in helping us navigate complex legal matters. In our f...ield, we are steadfast in upholding non-extractive practices, even when legal advantages exist. David has demonstrated a deep understanding of these principles, working closely with us not only to secure favorable outcomes as an employer but also to ensure that our decisions align with our values of protecting both the organization and our people-first approach.

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.

Fast, attentive, sage advice

My co-worker referred me to David. He was so responsive to my time-sensitive needs and provided step-bys-step advice for a tricky employment situation. I followed up with updates and David quickly shared feedback and supported me towards my ideal outcome, all through my consultation. If this work sit...uation progressed in the need to retain counsel, I would hire David to navigate those issues with clarity and quality representation. He will be my first email with any employment matter in the future. Thanks so much for helping be navigate my ADA accommodations and helping get me back to work.

High acumen, extremely knowledgeable

David was an exceptional support system in a situation that required robust legal support and I will continue to refer him to anyone within my network that seeks professional guidance on vocational specific matters.

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.
