By far, the best, most knowledgeable, and effective attorney in the region. He does not sugar coat. He does not give best care scenario. He is honest and very accurate in his assessment of situations. He is highly regarded among his peers, opponents, and judges, and he fights the right fights. If you want an attorney that will promise you the world, take your money, and fail, he's not your guy. But if you want someone who understands the complexities of human behavior, the law, and how to best represent his clients, Joel is the one. Do not waste time or money anywhere else. Joel's clients always come out on top. Always. I recommend him unconditionally. But when you see him, be honest, do not expect him to coddle you and make you feel warm and gooey about yourself, and then trust him to handle things. That's it.

Best lawyer in the state of Alabama. He loves his job and cares about his clients best interest. Highly recommend!!!

If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney, and Joel Sogol isn't the first person you call, you're making a terrible mistake. His wealth of experience in Criminal Defense is such a valuable asset, and his rapport within the legal system can't be overstated. His empathy and attention to detail are unmatched, and he operates with the utmost moral integrity. I am forever grateful for the relentless effort Joel Sogol makes to promote true justice in the state of Alabama.

Joel Sogol represented me a few years back and I am still thankful for him to this day. He was welcoming, respectful, and straightforward. He treated me like family and I really appreciate that.

Overall, not a very good experience at all. This attorney will talk up a good game at the initial consultation, then will subsequently reveal that is not even on your side, which is the very least one ought to expect from a defense attorney. Don't expect him to actually remember anything about your case, because he never takes notes and seems to have terrible comprehension skills. I would describe him as incompetent, but it actually seemed worse than incompetence: he didn't believe me and he was deferring to the prosecutor's (his opponent) side. Though there clearly was some incompetence at play. Mr. Sogol told me that if I got into a pre-trial diversion program that my record would be expunged after completing it. However, I looked it up and the alleged offense for which I was arrested CANNOT be expunged under Alabama law, though I plan to litigate that issue when the time is right. If you want an attorney who will make a serious effort to learn about the intricacies of your case, I highly advise you to look elsewhere.

Our experience with this attorney has not been good. Hoping for better. Will update posts on this site as situation progresses.
