Practice Areas
I chose to focus my practice in these areas of law because my values compel me to help and support people who are suffering through no fault of their own. Everyone deserves respect and fair treatment under the law. If you have been injured, I will aggressively protect your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.
I encourage you to read more about the types of cases I take, and how I can help you. If you’re ready to discuss your case right now, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m here for you when you need me.

Civil Rights
The purpose of civil rights is to protect people against discrimination and harassment based on their beliefs, roles or personal characteristics. They also preserve individual rights such as privacy, freedom of thought, conscience, speech and expression, religion, the press, and movement. I focus on protecting my clients against a variety of civil rights violations, including abuse by police, mistreatment in prison, and discrimination in the community.

Funeral Home / Cemetery Negligence
Funeral home and cemetery negligence are appalling acts that have unfortunately become more common. The deceased have no way to protect their bodies and dignity from abuse or desecration. And their survivors experience considerable emotional distress when they should have received compassionate, professional care. I am committed to assisting surviving family members and pursuing their best interests to the fullest extent of the law.
If you believe your loved one’s body or memory has been dishonored, it’s time to explore your legal options for redress.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one is particularly painful when their death is caused by a tragic accident, mistake, or someone else’s negligence. Car accidents, defective products, or a doctor’s mistake may be wrongful deaths. If you think you may have a wrongful death claim, an experienced, compassionate attorney can help. You may be entitled to recover damages, from funeral expenses and loss of expected income to your own suffering over your loss of companionship, care or protection. Please contact me to discuss your circumstances.
Disputes and Civil Litigation
Any kind of legal dispute can be all-consuming, making it difficult to focus on the many other commitments in your life. My experience both pursuing and defending civil actions can alleviate your worry, anger and frustration and give you your time back. If you’ve been wronged by another person or you are being sued without basis, call me to discuss and evaluate your case. The Sokol Law Firm can give your case the time, attention and experience it deserves.
Insurance Coverage and Bad Faith
Dealing with insurance company bureaucracy can be overwhelming, especially when the company isn’t acting in good faith. Your policy legally entitles you to specific coverage for damages. Are you being pressured to accept less than what’s fair? I have 20+ years experience defending insurance companies and their policyholders, and know the claims evaluation process inside and out. I know what it takes to negotiate the best possible settlement. You deserve to be dealt with and compensated fairly; put The Sokol Law Firm to work for you.
Professional Negligence
When you hire a professional, you expect professionalism! And you certainly don’t expect to get hurt. If you were harmed because someone failed to perform their responsibilities to the standards of their profession, they may be liable to you for that harm or loss.
I have extensive experience successfully litigating professional negligence cases, including legal malpractice cases. You may understand how you have been harmed. But you need an attorney experienced at discerning the legal recourse you may have at your disposal in order to prove negligence.
