Modupe was exactly what I needed! She was professional, efficient and concise. She was expert enough to point out a clause that needed to be added to my current parenting agreement and without her I would never have known. This was in addition to addressing the issue I retained her for! Her demeanor is calm, family law can be emotionally taxing, but she made me feel relaxed and reassured. I would highly recommend her for all family law needs and I expect that she's an excellent mediator.

Modupe Sobo was referred to me and I am so glad to have hired her to represent me in my divorce case. She kept me informed, was very detailed in explaining documents, and always provided me a breakdown on things that I might have had some difficulty understanding. Most importantly, with her assistance, she was able to end my case. I would highly recommend Ms. Sobo!

As odd as this world would allow me to post a review, in favor of a father seeking to gain legal assistance for primary custody of my daughter. I was referred to Ms Sobo, who started a very efficient job at obtaining an understanding of my character & exactly what I was seeking but more importantly what was best fit for my daughter. Ms Sobo is a very professional, trustworthy lawyer who I've referred on a few occasions & will continue to hire when needed. Our decision to hire Ms Sobo has really help relieve my family & I of a burden we did not want.

I needed to find an attorney to negotiate a settlement of my outstanding child arrears judgement. The judgement was an amount that I would never be able to pay. When I had my first consultation with Modupe I could tell that she was a caring advocate who could negotiate a settlement that would be acceptable to all parties involved. She is a very well spoken, knowledgeable and assertive lawyer. Her approach was pragmatic and efficient. She kept me informed on a timely basis by phone or email. She is very methodical and detailed in her billing of her time. And I found that her sevices were very reasonably priced. But most importantly, I was extremely pleased with the results . Her efforts resulted in a settlement significanlty less than the original judgement amount. I am eternally grateful to her. I will always be her staunchest advocate!
