I retained Ms. Soter's services for a personal injury matter. Ms. Soter was very caring and compassionate to me. She handled my case in a very professional matter. Throughout the time that she represented me, she kept me informed about everything that was happening and took the time to explain things to me so that I was understood everything that was going on. I felt like I was part of a team working with Ms. Soter. I was very happy with Ms. Soter's legal representation. If you are injured as a result of someone else's carelessness I would recommend that you contact Ms. Soter.

I retained Ms. Soter to represent me in a personal injury matter. I was hurt badly walking on a sidewalk when a property owner failed to repair the broken sidewalk in front of his apartment building. Ms. Soter commenced an lawsuit on my behalf and was able to get a favorable settlement for me. Ms. Soter kept me updated about my lawsuit. No question was left unanswered. I have heard of attorneys that never return calls and leave clients anxious. Ms. Soter was not one of those attorneys and I felt like I was part of a team. I highly recommend this attorney.

I retained Ms. Soter after I was involved in a bad accident on a set of broken stairs. I was badly injured as a result of my fall. Ms. Soter was able to obtain an excellent result for me even though the defendants tried to blame me for my fall when they were really to blame. Ms. Soter fought very hard on my behalf. She was in constant communication with me and kept me updated with everything that was going on in my case. It was very reassuring to know that I had an attorney fighting for me and who kept me involved in my own case. Ms. Soter provided me with excellent and candid legal service. I highly recommend her.

I would highly recommend Ms. Soter to anyone that's looking for an attorney that will actually take the time to listen to you, explain things to you, and keep in contact with you about your case. She was very open and honest and listened to all of my concerns and explained everything that was going on in my legal matter. If I had a question or didn't understand something, Ms. Soter answered and explained everything to me until I understood what was going on. If ever I need an attorney again I will defiantly be contacting her.

I was in a serious motor vehicle accident a few years ago. The most serious injury was to my neck and back which resulted in chronic pain. The other person's insurance company was not interested in paying my medical bills or in giving me reasonable compensation for my pain. Ms. Soter prepared my case and was easy to reach by phone and email. In the end, my case settled for substantially more money than the insurance company initially offered. Ms. Soter is an excellent lawyer who truly cared about me as a person.

Effie is professional and her expertise helps my management company get the best results in and out of the courtroom. When I have questions and issues with my rent stabilized and low income units Effie always makes herself available. I highly recommend her.
