Kind, knowledgeable, and communicative!

I only worked with David in a consultation capacity but the attention he gave me was as if I was already a client. Unfortunately I didn't quite have enough to work with for a case, and David helped me understand why that was and what sort of information I'd need to gather in order to take action. He ...truly cares about potential clients and does deep due diligence work before he judges whether a case will hold water. I would absolutely hire David in case I need an employment lawyer in the future!

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.

Perfect advice on employment contracts

David promptly responded when I initially reached out for a consultation about my employment contract, displaying transparency regarding the process and the associated costs. Throughout our consultation, his in-depth expertise in the subject matter became evident, and he was very kind and patient in ...addressing all my questions. I highly recommend his services.

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.
