Brown of the United States District Court for the Central District of California had this to say about me in the case of REFAC INTERNATIONAL, LTD. v. HITACHI LTD., Kawasaki Motors Corporation, et al., 141 F.R.D. 281 (1991):. Without minimizing in the least the significant contributions of other defense counsel, the Magistrate Judge finds that the lawyering most decisive to the outcome, and the most helpful to the court, was done by Surjit P. Soni and his firm. His preparation was immaculate, though no more than necessary given the stakes and complexities. His clients proved to be, and they should have been, most willing to pay his fees and expenses. There is no evidence that he has overbilled in any respect; in fact, his accounting is so precise that the Magistrate Judge is able to, and he will disallow certain itemized claims. All members of the bar of this court are presumed honorable and wholly accurate in their representations to the court. Mr. Soni has proved the validity of the presumption throughout the proceedings by weighing every word and proofing every representation. His accounting contained in the Brico defendants' claim is a veritable model. The general pleas of Refac's counsel to reduce fees and costs, and particularly those incurred post-dismissal, are rejected.

Since 1984 I have worked as a trial lawyer, I am surprised at how much I still love this job. I get to meet so many different folks, in so many different walks of life, and I am always learning something new and challenging.. The downside of doing this work, however, is that so often you are dealing with people in a miserable situation. Their lives have been turned upside down by a catastrophe, that should have been avoided, had it not been for someone else's carelessness or wrongdoing. It's heartbreaking to see what some people go through. But clients don't come to you for pity. What they need from you, as their lawyer, is to help pick up the pieces, and obtain justice.. That is where the upside of being a lawyer comes in, because there is no greater feeling of accomplishment when you are able to obtain justice for your client.  In the end, it is a basic human need to feel that you made things better in this life. I get the chance to do this every day when I show up to work.  What more can you ask for?
