excellent legal advice

Mr. Sohn has treated me like family for every instance I've needed legal advice. He's extremely knowledgeable in various areas of the law and has led me to make wise decisions.

Great Trustworthy Friend

Mr. Sohn has always treated me more like a friend than as his client. He kept me well-informed of everything that was going on in my case and always asked me for permission before making any decisions on my behalf. He was well versed in all of the relevant laws and was able to make the process move... quite smoothly. If I ever have another problem, I will be sure to come to him for advice and assistance.

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.
