Hired Attorney Ariel Sosna

Had an exceptionally wonderful experience working with Ariel Sosna for my prenuptial agreement and could not recommend this firm more. We had a tight deadline to meet, and she helped me understand the process so thoroughly and I feel grateful to have her on my legal team. I felt this firm worked so professionally and honestly with me, I am overall impressed and appreciative with their work.

Hired Attorney Ariel Sosna

I am so grateful that I found Ariel and that she was able to take my case. There was urgent and immediate action needed as well as longer-term strategy and she excelled at both. She was available, friendly, direct, and an excellent communicator. Her staff is similarly skilled and are prompt, efficient, friendly and reliable. I highly recommend her.

Hired Attorney Ariel Sosna

Getting divorced is terrifying. Attorney Ariel Sosna took all of the fear and legal worry off my shoulders. She gave me sound advice, allowing me to make the final decision, all within a manageable budget, avoiding court proceedings. She explained the pros and cons of issues, asked what I wanted, was patient, and promptly answered my emails. She was my true ally and I felt protected. She is warm, compassionate, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her for help with a divorce.

Hired Attorney Ariel Sosna

Ariel Sosna handled every aspect of my difficult, lengthy divorce with the utmost expertise and professionalism. She endeavored to inform and involve me in the entire process. Throughout, I was confident she was representing me how I would want. Ariel Sosna’s approach to my case was carefully considered, consistently executed and highly effective. Although my divorce ended in trial, I am confident she did everything possible to facilitate a settlement. I have already recommended her services.

Hired Attorney Ariel Sosna

Ariel got the job done but her personal demeanor is off-putting. She is very defensive which is why I can't give her a higher rating.

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
