Reviews for Thomas
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mr. Sobecki demonstrates unmatched dedication to his clients. He is competent, thorough, and extremely skilled. Throughout the process, he checked in with me to make sure I fully understood each step of the way. Most importantly, he is kind and abides by a high moral character that is extremely rare among attorneys today. I could not recommend Mr. Sobecki more.
I am a healthcare professional who retained Attorney Sobecki to negotiate a separation agreement. He is a gentleman of high integrity who was thorough and detailed. He knows the law and will keep his clients realistic. Retaining Attorney Sobecki was money well spent. There is no need to look elsewhere.
Thomas Sobecki demonstrated expertise in preparing and filing the necessary documents for my workplace discrimination case. His honesty and integrity allowed me to place my trust in him to represent me. He is professional and respectful, a very competent lawyer, and I highly recommend Thomas Sobecki for legal representation.
I would recommend Thomas A. Sobecki without reservation. I am highly satisfied with his representation of me. In addition to providing me with superior,competent legal representation, he also provided me with pertinent and timely information throughout the process. If the need arose, I would definitely utilize his services in the future.
Mr. Sobecki was very thorough and timely with submitting and responding to necessary motions. This was key, as my opponent had deep pockets and pushed to get the case thrown out on clever lawyering. Mr. Sobecki demonstrated both professionalism and high ethical standards in staying the course.
Case was for wrongful employment termination based on discrimination. I can recommend Mr. Sobecki for a man. Mr. Sobecki had difficulty relating to a woman and hearing her as was my case -- We lost twice because of that one flaw (We went to appeals court and lost there, too.)
Prior to the paid consultation I provided documents to Sobecki but he never read them. At the time of our meeting, he needed to ask Dave Noonan, his paralegal, what to do in my case. For a lawyer to ask his paralegal how to handle a case indicates a lack of expertise. Sobecki constantly interrupted me as I tried to state my case. After he heard my comparatively low hourly salary, he decided I couldn't be trusted. How can Sobecki represent employees when he blindly trusts employers more than employees?
During a paid consultation, Sobecki refused to take my case. It was a basic request: to write a letter to a former employer on my behalf. The grounds for this denial were questionable. Abrasive guy. Jumped to a quick conclusion without much discussion.
