      Chris was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. His professional calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. His associate attorney Logan was also very knowledgeable and made us feel at ease through our final meeting. The office staff is superb in all regards, great communication skills. My husband and I are eternally grateful for their service and I hereby recommend Mr. Chris Soto without reservation.

      I consulted with Soto law firm about updating my existing trust.  I found out that the one I had was not as inclusive and complete as I thought. Logan at Soto Law Firm went over and explained everything old and recommendations for new and why.  I not only have a better understanding of it all, but feel more protected for the "what ifs" in life.  Overall, it was a great experience.
