Profoundly Disappointing
My experience with Sobo & Sobo during a major personal injury case was deeply disappointing. Over four years, I felt neglected, misled, and pressured into a settlement that didn't meet my needs. I'm sharing this to help others make an informed decision.
From the start, communication was a problem. Updates were rare unless I reached out, and responses were often brief, coming from a paralegal rather than my attorney. My concerns were brushed aside, leaving me in the dark during an already stressful time. The lack of transparency added unnecessary frustration to a situation that required trust and collaboration.
The firm also failed to properly prepare my case, overlooking important evidence and leaving me unprepared for depositions. I was never offered meaningful advice or guidance, which made me feel unsupported throughout the process. Just weeks before trial, my attorney was replaced, and three attorneys pressured me into accepting a low-ball settlement. Although they said it was my choice, their tone and lack of alternatives left me feeling cornered. The settlement didn't come close to addressing the full financial and personal impact of my injuries.
Additionally, a promised discount was not reflected in the final billing. Instead, I was charged 33% of the settlement and $13,500 in expenses, with no detailed itemization. The lack of transparency added to my frustration, as it felt like an unfair and unexplained burden.
This was a life-altering case, and I trusted Sobo & Sobo to handle it with care and professionalism. Unfortunately, my experience left me feeling unsupported, undervalued, and deeply disappointed.
I'm sharing this review to help others. If you're considering Sobo & Sobo, I encourage you to explore other options. A good attorney should prioritize their client's well-being, communicate openly, and handle cases with diligence and transparency. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this firm. You deserve representation that puts your needs first. Sadly, that was not my experience with Sobo & Sobo. read more
