An Attorney Who Listens — Clear, Thorough, Highly Recommended

I recently had the opportunity to work with David Sohn on a challenging employment law matter, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our first consultation, David stood out for his patience and his ability to communicate clearly. He took the time to truly understand our situation, asked tho...ughtful questions, and explained our options in plain language. He never talked down to us or made us feel like we were taking up too much of his time — even when we had many questions. What impressed me most was his meticulousness. David reviewed every piece of documentation carefully and helped us organize a complex set of facts into a clear, compelling narrative. His attention to detail gave us confidence that nothing would be overlooked. Throughout a stressful and uncertain process, David was a steady, reassuring presence. He responded promptly, kept us informed, and always treated us with respect. He combines legal expertise with genuine care for his clients, and we are grateful.

Professional, Responsive, and Thoughtful Counsel

I consulted David on an hourly basis, and he was professional, patient, and thoughtful throughout the process. He took the time to understand my specific situation, listened carefully to my concerns, and provided practical, tailored advice with an objective assessment of the risks, options, and likel...y outcomes. He was also very responsive—even when my situation became time-sensitive, he made himself available quickly to answer questions and provide timely guidance. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking knowledgeable and trustworthy employment counsel.

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.
