Wrongful termination consultation

David was an amazing resource for me as I assessed the pathway forward in a wrongful termination case. His knowledge of the law and ability to help breakdown the various issues and considerations at hand with my case was invaluable to me and especially during what is naturally a very difficult perio...d of time in the aftermath of an unplanned separation. I found him to be caring and sensitive to my situation and his advice was really helpful for me to help pin down the best approach in both finding a lawyer and specifying which parts of my case would hold the highest merit in any future proceeding. Really can’t say enough good things about his approach and overall quality as a professional.

Consult + Referral

I was referred to David by a friend and asked him to review a termination situation. He reviewed my notes for free and called me with his opinion. Although he declined to take my case, he was empathetic, thorough, eloquent, and generous with his time. I would have been excited to have him as represen...tation and would certainly refer him to others.

Highly Reccomend David for Big Tech Employee Issues

[I am posting anonymously to not track this back to my employer] I work at a well-known big tech company based in the Valley, and one that has been in the news often of many reasons (both good and bad). After I started feeling tension in my team and worried about the risk of a potential retaliation,... I was connected with David through the referral of a trusted friend in big law. From the start, David was so personable and made me feel safe to share my concerns. He provided on pointe advice for my circumstances, and eventually guided me through several conversations and processes to protect my employment status and ensure I receive the proper severance package should I be laid off. I have always been hesitant to contact an external party about internal work matters, but working with David was such a trustworthy and secure experience that I ultimately recommended him to my other colleagues facing similar issues. I am being quite vague about my actual work with him as to not disclose too many details, but on aggregate, David cares immensely about people's employee protections and offers strong and thorough advice on how to properly navigate the complexities of the matters. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services, and will turn to him in the future should I need his counsel again.

Attorney with Results

I was intimidated to fight my former employer for wrongful termination, gender & disability discrimination. I was so thankful I was referred to David Sohn who genuinely cares about his clients and had the patience to answer all of my questions. He took the time to explain up front what I would be fa...cing and what options I had. David informed me of my rights and explained the law to my full understanding where I was able to provide the evidence to help my case. We worked as a team and we were successful in reaching a very favorable settlement. I highly recommend David Sohn for Employment Law. He will not disappoint!
