Navigating Injury Law With Integrity: The Story of Sobo & Sobo LLP

Sobo & Sobo LLP has become one of the most trusted and respected personal injury law firms in the United States. Founded in 2002 by Greg Sobo, Esq., the firm has steadily expanded from its original office in Middletown, New York, to nineteen offices across seven states, including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, Ohio and Wisconsin. Known for its strong ethics, legal skill, and commitment to clients, the firm has built its reputation on trust, compassion, and professionalism. Through every case and every community it serves, Sobo & Sobo has remained focused on one goal—helping injured individuals rebuild their lives with dignity and support.

From the beginning, Sobo & Sobo LLP made it clear that its approach to personal injury law would be different. Rather than focusing only on legal outcomes, the firm built a culture around understanding the emotional and financial struggles that clients face after accidents. The firm handles cases involving traffic accidents, construction site injuries, wrongful death, and medical malpractice. These are situations that often leave people confused, frightened, and unsure of what steps to take. Sobo & Sobo aims to ease that burden by providing clear advice, strong legal representation, and personal attention throughout the legal process. Clients are treated with care and respect, and their questions are always answered. The firm believes that legal service is about more than just paperwork and courtrooms. It is about helping real people through real problems.

As the firm gained success in the early years, it expanded its reach to better serve the growing demand for trusted legal help. By the early 2010s, Sobo & Sobo had opened five offices in the Hudson Valley region, as well as locations in Manhattan and the Bronx. Each new office allowed the firm to reach more communities while maintaining the same high standard of care. These expansions were not just about growth. They were about being closer to clients and making it easier for people to get the help they need without traveling far or feeling lost in the legal system.

That commitment to accessibility and service led to even greater expansion. In 2023, Sobo & Sobo opened new offices in New Jersey and Illinois, moving beyond its original state for the first time. Every office operates under the same guiding principles of integrity, transparency, and excellence. Clients receive consistent support and legal skills, whether they are in a small town or a major city.

What makes Sobo & Sobo stand out is not only its legal victories but also the way it handles each case with honesty and purpose. The firm has represented clients in several high-profile cases that gained national attention. In June 2015, former Fox News host Pete Hegseth threw an axe during a live broadcast. The axe struck Jeff Prosperi, a drummer performing at the Fox Studios in New York City. Sobo & Sobo represented Prosperi, highlighting the importance of safety and responsibility in high-visibility environments. The case brought attention to negligence in the workplace and reminded the public that everyone deserves protection, no matter the setting.

In 2017, the firm was hired to represent the family of Alyssa Elsman, a victim of the tragic Times Square car attack, as well as other survivors. The driver, Richard Rojas, caused serious harm to several people and took Alyssa’s life. Greg Sobo and his team filed a lawsuit against Rojas and later followed with a second claim in 2018 against the City of New York. That claim argued that the city had failed to install protective measures, such as pedestrian barriers, that could have prevented the incident. Additional victims included Thomas Elsman, Gayatari Jariwala, William McCollough, Destiny Lightfoot, and Caroline Jacobs. In August 2018, Jessica Williams and William Nelson Sr. filed a seventy five million dollar lawsuit through the firm. These cases showed the firm’s determination to hold both individuals and public institutions accountable when their actions or inactions result in harm.

In 2025, Sobo & Sobo again made headlines by filing a lawsuit on behalf of Ivan Cantu against Kim Kardashian. The lawsuit claimed that a social media post made by Kardashian caused emotional distress. This case brought new focus to the responsibilities of public figures in the digital age and raised questions about how online actions can affect real lives. By taking on this case, the firm showed its commitment to adapting to modern legal challenges while continuing to protect the rights and dignity of individuals.

Alongside its legal work, Sobo & Sobo has also made a strong impact through community service. The firm is a proud supporter of St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, helping to fund treatment and research for children with serious illnesses. This partnership is a reflection of the firm’s values, showing that true success is measured not just by case results but by the difference made in people’s lives. The firm also holds an annual scholarship contest for high school seniors, encouraging students to reflect on the importance of community service. Winners receive financial assistance for college and are recognized for their commitment to helping others. These efforts go beyond legal work. They show that Sobo & Sobo is invested in the future of the communities it serves.

The firm’s dedication and impact have been widely recognized. In 2023, Sobo & Sobo was named one of America’s Top Law Firms by America’s Best Attorneys. In 2022, it received the Lawyers of Distinction Power Attorney Award. The firm has also been recognized by Super Lawyers, The American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys, and The National Trial Lawyers. Greg Sobo was featured in The New York Times for his leadership and service. The American Registry and The National Trial Lawyers have praised the firm for its work in personal injury law. These honors reflect a long record of success, but more importantly, they show how much trust the firm has earned from clients, peers, and communities.

Sobo & Sobo LLP continues to grow, but it does so with a clear purpose. Every office, every case, and every client is treated with care and respect. The firm does not see its work as just legal business. It sees it as a service to people who are going through some of the hardest times in their lives. That mindset shapes every decision and every result. It keeps the firm grounded and focused on doing what is right.

Navigating personal injury law requires more than legal skill. It requires integrity, empathy, and a deep sense of responsibility. Sobo & Sobo LLP has shown that it is possible to succeed in law while staying true to these values. The firm’s story is not just about courtrooms and settlements. It is about standing by people when they need it most and using the power of the law to bring justice, healing, and hope. That is the story of Sobo & Sobo, and it continues to inspire trust wherever the firm’s name is known.
