About Jared Sonnenklar

I am Jared Sonnenklar, and I'd like to offer you some insight into my background and professional journey.

In June 2015, I made the life-changing decision to relocate to Key West, embarking on my legal career as a Public Defender. It was in this vibrant island community that I not only discovered my love for the locale but also cultivated a profound passion for criminal defense.

Over the course of four years as a public defender, I had the privilege of handling a diverse array of criminal cases, gaining invaluable experience. This experience included conducting numerous trials at various levels of the legal system. My aim has always been to leverage these experiences for the benefit of my clients.

Before I arrived in Key West, my academic pursuits led me to the George Washington University, where I focused on International Affairs. Subsequently, I continued my studies at the University of Miami School of Law, where I participated in the esteemed immigration clinic, further enriching my legal knowledge.

Upon completing my legal education, I made the significant choice to join the Key West community as a Public Defender, and I've been a dedicated member ever since. When the time came for the next step in my career, I founded Sonnenklar Law, right here in Key West, to continue serving the same community where my journey began.

Now, with a rich background in handling more than 500 felony cases and participating in over a dozen trials across various legal levels, I'm poised to provide you with zealous advocacy and comprehensive criminal representation. I am committed to ensuring that you not only receive effective legal counsel but also that you fully comprehend the legal process at every step.

Let me leverage my experience and expertise to guide you through your legal challenges. Your peace of mind is my priority, and I'm here to help you achieve the best possible outcomes.

Mr. Sonnenklar was very helpful with my case. He works quickly and efficiently and was always easy to talk to! He worked very hard for me and had my case completely cleared for me and I couldn't have been more thankful! 10/10 I would definitely recommend anyone that needs help from a criminal defense attorney to contact him!

Mr. Jared Sonnenklar, after being paid, stopped returning my calls, voicemails, text, and emails for weeks. He was supposed to enter into my case on the first court date, and failed to deliver. The judge ordered an extended bond for me, because Mr. Sonnenklar did not enter into my case. I was sitting at home listening to music, when I heard a loud knocking on my door. It was the police with a $100,000.00 bond on me. I asked them what it was about, and they said that I did not appear in court. This was about two (2) weeks after Mr. Sonnenklar was to enter into my case. Mr. Sonnenklar did not perform his duties as my attorney. Mr. Jared Sonnenklar cost me over $100,000.00+ because he did not appear on my behalf.

I was extremely disappointed with Mr. Sonnenklar. He failed to show at our appointment. After waiting in his conference room close to an hour, I called his number and was told by the person answering that he waa on the phone and would call me back. He never did. In response to my later email complaint, he said he never "confirmed" the appointment which was a feeble excuse as there was never any suggestion that the appointment was not firm at the time it was made. His tone was not apologetic. I was not impressed and went to anorher lawyer.
