I hired him in 2016. He was quick and efficient we were at or first hearing 30 days after he filed the paperwork for me. We won the case. After that I used him four more times for different issues and follow ups. I have won each case and am more than 100% satisfied with the services and I am recommending anyone looking to win the case he is your best bet!

Hired Attorney

Vince Sowerby, even though family dynamics have changed, you are my friend. You stepped up to the plate and took care of all legal things when Cal passed away without my asking and not accepting anything monetary. This is my way of giving you a public "Thank You" for all you do and have done. I didn't rate for Value of Money on this review because he would not take my money.

Hired Attorney

Quit the case after a deposition session announcing that he thought we were lying to him. Car dealer repossessed our vehicle illegally because I drove the vehicle out of state. Sales manager quit from dealership and said he would testify on our behalf then on day of depositions he told half-truths , trying to stay neutral. Dealer claimed we canceled insurance on vehicle , we had proof that we didn't. Sowerby never bothered to ask to see our proof. Dealer still paid us $1,600 after Sowerby quit.

Hired Attorney

Lost two cases dealing with Home owners association. Improperly filed appeals for both cases. Therefore lost both appeals, with no right to refile or file with GA Supreme Court. Sowerby promised to return all fees I had paid him...then refuses. He failed/refused to attempt to negotiate settlement, unilaterally declares the atty/client relationship to be adversarial, then quits as my attorney...leaving me without atty. Cost me approx $215,000.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
