Overview
Sofia first contemplated law school while working in public affairs. She was assisting a client facing a lawsuit, helping with crisis control and public relations, when she observed how the lawyers brought a calming force to the situation. They were the ones with the knowledge and ability to resolve the issue. Now Sofia is the calming force for her clients in a crisis, whether it be a lawsuit or a data breach.
Sofia takes the time to find creative avenues that achieve the best results for her clients. As a member of the firm’s Class Action, Cybersecurity and Transportation Service Groups, she counsels clients on mitigating the risks of potential law suits and responding to data breaches.
