Informative and Insightful

In the first meeting, David managed to pinpoint all important factual informations that can support the case from my summary. Afterwards, gave me what else I would need to do so I further improve my case and even follow up!

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.

Highly recommended in every way

David's legal advice and experience were indispensable to my success in carrying out a formal grievance against my university employer over a denial of my rightful promotion. David was always ready to answer questions, provide needed context for understanding my faculty union contract, and strategize... intelligently over exactly how to proceed. Just belonging to a union cannot always be good enough, as I found out. Having a thoughtful and personally supportive attorney like David on my side made all the difference. I won my case, an outcome that rarely happens at my school.

Support for Employment Contract

David was phenomenal. Clearly very knowledgeable about his space - articulated the pro/cons for the contract we reviewed. Did not sugar coat any terms - helped me clearly think through worst case scenarios.

Professional and Caring Attorney

I'm grateful David was recommended to me by a friend. David reviewed my notes thoroughly and asked pertinent questions so he is clear on my situation. He went beyond the call of duty to speak with me after business hours in order to help me in a timely manner. David followed up promptly with emai...ls on the next steps and suggested viable solutions. My case may or may not go to court, but I feel better having spoke with David. It calmed me to know that I have someone knowledgeable on my side. I feel very lucky to have found him in time of need.

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.
