We have worked with Irving for our estate planning on two occasions. He is very thorough, flexible to our needs, and questions what we need -- he is not just taking a cookie cutter approach for estate planning but a partner in our overall plan. He gives good insight about the pros and cons of certain options we proposed. On top of that, he's very nice to talk to. highly recommended!

Irv did my will and a real estate transaction for us. He has an excellent grasp of legal issues in both areas. He took a 20 year view rather than just the current situation. He walked patiently through various cases. He worked on Christmas weekend since we were in a time-crunch. He notarized our documents in a short order. He is a wonderful human being with great legal expertise.

Mr. Sonkin took time to provide specific interesting information that applied for my unusual circumstances!

I contacted Mr. Sonkin with a questions about title to a property I own. He was most helpful and even recommended steps I could take before retaining a Lawyer. Thank you very much. If I need Legal help in the future, you are tops on my list.

Irv helped us with Estate Planning including wills and other documents. He was very patient and took the time to carefully explain our options, the meaning of uncertain terminology, and the rationale behind certain legal language. He was also quite responsive to questions and requests by email. We recommend Irv and would not hesitate to work with him again.

Irving answered my question within a few hours of me posting it. He give me his legal opinion of a situation in a very respectful way. He also answered a couple of follow up emails I sent him. I give him the highest rating available.

Very diligent supportive and helpful.

Very helpful, deligent and fast responses.

We have used Mr. Sonkin for our business needs for several years. He is professional and reliable. Mr. Sonkin also assisted us with a difficult easement issue at our home that resulted in two law suits. At all times, we found Mr. Sonkin readily available for our questions and concerns. He made sure we were well-prepared for each stage of the process. He has always been a good resource for us.

Irv represented me in a complicated litigation concerning a real estate deal that had gone sour. He quickly got to the bottom of the situation and represented me with integrity and efficiency where the other parties seemed to be in a race to the bottom. His briefs were concise and effective. Thanks to his guidance, I emerged looking like the only honest person in the courtroom. I then turned to him for assistance with my will and end-of-life documents. He quickly produced documents that exceeded my expectations, guiding me to consider many eventualities I had overlooked. When I needed a tax indemnification agreement, I turned to Irv again, and his insight and experience were once again in evidence as he very quickly suggested pitfalls I needed to avoid. Irv's intelligence, experience, integrity and dry humor have been greatly appreciated by me, and I am glad I can count on him to handle my legal matters. I wholeheartedly recommend him as an effective, insightful advocate who has proven himself adept at everything from contracts to litigation.

Irving has been my personal and business attorney for over 35 years. During this time I have owned food retail stores, a construction/development company and shopping centers thru-out the area. During this time Irv has provided excellent legal /personal advice and representation on a variety of issues, making beneficial recommendations and advising me on a wide variety of topics beyond my ability to navigate, helping to reduce cost. Irv's efforts to successful ends is something I have always admired and respected. If you are in need of an attorney who is quick to respond,cut to the chase analysis of your issues and will treat you with respect I would highly recommend Irving Sonkin.

Irving has represented both our business, family and extended family for over 25 years. His expertise in real estate and business law is unsurpassed. His guidance in estate planning, probate and negotiations are deeply appreciated. We think very highly of him and respect his judgment and advise. We recommend him highly.
