Skilled attorney with impressive recognition

Mark Sobel is an excellent attorney with deep expertise in family law, which was exactly what we needed during a complex child custody case. His extensive experience and awards, including multiple 'Lawyer of the Year' recognitions, clearly reflect his strong reputation in the field. While his advice was always on point and he demonstrated a nuanced understanding of New Jersey family law, I did find his responsiveness to emails could be slightly improved—especially during busy periods. The cost was also a bit higher than expected, but the quality of his representation made it worth it in the end. His educational background from top-tier institutions like the University of Pennsylvania adds to his credibility, and it was clear he applied his decades of experience to our situation. Highly recommend for anyone facing similar legal challenges.

Knowledgeable and Professional Attorney

I had the pleasure of working with Mark H. Sobel during a complex family law matter, and I was consistently impressed by his depth of knowledge and professionalism. His 24 years of experience were evident in the way he navigated the intricacies of my case, providing clear, actionable advice every step of the way. Mark's education from prestigious institutions like the University of Pennsylvania and George Washington University is reflected in his sharp legal acumen and strategic approach. He has been recognized as 'Lawyer of the Year' multiple times, and it's easy to see why. His expertise in family law was invaluable, particularly in negotiating a fair settlement that prioritized my long-term interests. The only minor downside was that his response time to emails could sometimes be slower than I'd hoped, but his attention to detail during meetings and court appearances more than made up for it. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone seeking a skilled and dedicated attorney.

Solid but not exceptional

Mark Sobel handled my divorce case with competence, leveraging his extensive 24 years of experience in family law, which is reflected in his multiple 'Lawyer of the Year' recognitions. However, while he clearly knew the law well, communication was often delayed, and I wish he had been more proactive in updating me on case developments. The outcome was fair, but I sometimes felt the process was slower than necessary. His expertise in complex family law matters was evident, but I expected a more personal touch given his stellar reputation. Adequate, but could improve on responsiveness.

Skillful attorney with years of experience

I had the pleasure of working with Mark H. Sobel on a complex family law matter in Houston, New Jersey. His 24 years of experience were evident from the start, and his deep understanding of family law, especially in the Newark area, was a tremendous asset. Mark's recognition as the 2024, 2016, and 2011 Lawyer of the Year for Family Law in Newark speaks volumes about his expertise. He handled my case with professionalism and empathy, always explaining complex legal concepts in a way that was easy to understand. My only minor critique is that his response time to emails could be a bit quicker, but this was a small trade-off for the high-quality legal advice and representation I received. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate family law attorney.

Highly Skilled but Needs Faster Communication

Mark Sobel is a true asset to the legal community, particularly in the complex realm of family law. His deep expertise, honed over 24 years at Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis LLP, is evident in the way he navigated a highly contentious divorce case for me. The recognition he's received—including multiple 'Lawyer of the Year' awards in family law—is well-deserved. He handled custody negotiations with both precision and compassion, ensuring my interests were protected while keeping the process as amicable as possible. His strategic approach, likely refined through his Ivy League education at the University of Pennsylvania, made all the difference. However, I did find that his response times could be more prompt, especially during the initial stages. While the outcome was outstanding, this minor drawback left me occasionally anxious. Costs were also slightly higher than anticipated, but the quality of his counsel justified the investment. For anyone facing a challenging family law matter, Mark is an excellent choice—just be prepared for a slower response pace.

Great Family Law Guidance

Mark Sobel handled my complex divorce case with both professionalism and empathy. His deep understanding of family law, honed over 24 years, was evident in every step of the process. The recognition he's received— particularly the Lawyer of the Year awards—reflects his expertise. While his legal strategy was exceptional, I did feel his response time to emails could be quicker. The financial end was fair, though I wish he had been more transparent about costs upfront. Despite these minor points, I felt confident throughout the proceedings and appreciated his calming presence during a stressful time. I’d recommend him without hesitation.
