Greg Sobo, head of the nationally recognized firm Law Offices of Sobo & Sobo L.L.P., joined The Attorney Post to discuss the evolution of personal injury law, client-centered practice, and the impact of legal reform. With over 15 years of experience and a growing firm that spans several states, Sobo shared a wide range of insights into litigation, legal ethics, and leadership.

Law Offices of Sobo & Sobo L.L.P., founded in 1969, maintains a 98% success rate for accepted cases. With offices in New York, New Jersey, and Illinois, and a team of over 70 attorneys, the firm’s expansion under Greg’s leadership reflects its growing impact and commitment to helping injury victims nationwide.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Law Offices of Sobo & Sobo L.L.P. navigated court closures by leveraging virtual tools like Zoom for depositions and mediations. While these remote processes kept cases moving, Greg emphasized that virtual trials lack key elements—like eye contact and jury engagement—that influence outcomes.

In one case, Greg recounted how a judge dismissed proceedings based on an opening statement, a decision that raised concerns about fairness and access to justice. While the case wasn’t appealed, it demonstrated how trials can influence broader societal changes, such as improving school safety.

Greg also discussed legal challenges posed by self-driving vehicles and the rise of medical malpractice cases. He noted that while cars are safer today, liability issues remain complicated when accidents involve autonomous technology. Similarly, the legal system makes it difficult to pursue claims for medical errors, even though a Johns Hopkins study suggests malpractice may cause 250,000 deaths annually.

One legislative issue Greg hopes to change is New York’s wrongful death law, which hasn’t been updated in over a century. The current statute allows compensation only for financial loss—not emotional suffering. This outdated approach, he argues, fails to reflect the true value of human life and leaves grieving families without just recourse.

Sobo also challenged misconceptions about injury lawyers, noting that many clients initially hesitate to seek help due to stigma or fear. At Law Offices of Sobo & Sobo L.L.P., building trust and empathy is central to every client interaction.

Now serving as CEO, Greg faces a new set of challenges managing a growing team and maintaining firm culture. He advised young lawyers to worry less and focus on serving clients with clarity and compassion.

In a profession often driven by risk and complexity, Greg Sobo continues to lead with conviction—offering a clear example of what modern legal advocacy can look like.
