Attorney Alexander Sohn
Prior to founding Sohn Legal Services, Alex began his career as a trial attorney with the Committee for Public Counsel Services, defending indigent people from the immense power and vast resources of the government. As a public defender, Attorney Sohn gained a reputation for his tenacious work ethic, sincere dedication to his clients, and notable successes both in and out of the courtroom. Alex’s passion and quantifiable results caught the eye of one of the preeminent criminal defense attorneys in Massachusetts and led to his eight-year tenure with Cohen Kinne Valicenti & Cook.
Attorney Sohn adopts a holistic approach to his criminal defense practice, recognizing that collateral consequences such as loss of licensing, employment, or immigration status often influence the way a case needs to be resolved. Although trials are sometimes inevitable, Alex prides himself on finding creative solutions that can limit a client’s exposure prior to this final option. He maintains a vigorous motion practice and zealously advocates for clients in negotiations with the government.
Similarly, since shifting into private practice, Attorney Sohn has honed his civil litigation skills and is dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for his personal injury clients. He has represented victims in a wide array of claims including, but not limited to, motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall incidents, and cases of assault and sexual assault. Alex works unwaveringly on behalf of his clients, listening, investigating, and applying his profound legal knowledge in order to get results.
A committed advocate for social justice, Alex interned with the American Civil Liberties Union during law school and currently volunteers with the Western Massachusetts Labor Action "Know Your Rights" program, where he lectures on street encounters with police. Attorney Sohn has also been a guest speaker at Western New England University, School of Law’s Access to Justice Course, taught by Judge Dina Fein.
Before becoming an attorney, Alex spent over a decade in the film industry in both Los Angeles and Manhattan. In addition to working for New Line Cinema and Carl Reiner, he accrued several on-screen film credits in major motion pictures including Blow, Along Came Polly, and The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions. He is an avid traveler who set foot on six continents before making the Berkshires his home. Seek justice with Sohn Justice.
