David Sohn

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.

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.

David was quick and very knowledgeable about my employment contract. He was also able to succinctly detail key issues and was very responsive. His knowledge with issues regarding similar contracts also helped on a speedy return time. I would recommend him to my peers and hire him again in the future....

I had had enough abuse/gas-lighting/goalpost-moving at the hands of my bi-polar boss and it was only intensifying. Though David didn't address those issues much, he did bring up one issue that led to a claim for a significant amount of money. This is what got my negotiations with my employer leaning... substantially on my side. As with any attorney, make sure you set strict guidelines for hours and time spent on the case. Payment for his expertise was definitely worth the money.

David was referred to me by another lawyer and for good reason. Not only did David counsel me on the legal ramifications of my employment situation, he was able to help me think through how to negotiate with HR and the senior vice president. I appreciated how he presented potential outcomes and was ...supportive throughout the process. If I need to seek advice on another employment issue, I will happily go to David again.
