Sobol Family Law PLLC

Brian L Sobol is board-certified in family law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, one of only 15 lawyers certified in Minnesota. He is also one of only four lawyers in Minnesota recognized for his expertise in high-net-worth cases with a ranking in band 1, the top tier ranking by Chambers and Partners Family/Matrimonial: High Net Worth publication. Mr. Sobol is the only lawyer so ranked in Minnesota who is also a diplomate in the American College of Family Trial Lawyers, a by-invitation only group of 100 of the top family trial lawyers in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, an equally select group of the top family lawyers in the nation. He has been ranked as a Super Lawyer in Family Law by Minnesota Monthly and Mpls.St. Paul magazines for over 25 years. Mr. Sobol graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1979, magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, with a bachelor's degree in child psychology. He earned his J.D. degree from the University of Minnesota in 1982. Following a judicial clerkship in Hennepin County District Court, Mr. Sobol began his legal career in 1985, where he quickly established himself as an innovator in large asset marriage dissolution proceedings. His undergraduate degree in child psychology also complemented his growing child custody practice. While specializing in matters involving complex high net worth estates including established as well as start-up venture capital businesses, these skills also come into play with smaller asset estates, where Mr. Sobol is just as adept. He also has substantial experience litigating custody and post-divorce parenting disputes, spousal maintenance and child support matters, domestic abuse matters, and has substantial experience drafting and litigating pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements. He is also a fellow of the International Academy of Family Lawyers, and has experience in international business and custody matters. Mr. Sobol is also experienced in appellate practice and has participated in some 100 appellate family law appeals during his career, and has made law in several areas as a result of his successful appeals, including the areas of property valuation, spousal maintenance and domestic abuse. The results he has achieved are based on his attention to detail, in-depth preparation and innovative ideas. Although a zealous advocate, Mr. Sobol is pragmatic in his approach, and is sensitive to the high cost of the litigation. He tries whenever possible to settle issues and cases without the need for trial. Mr. Sobol has participated in hundreds of successful mediations over his career, and is also a trained mediator himself, one of only two certified in the state of Minnesota by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. If your case is one of the few not capable of resolution short of trial, he will zealously fight for your rights through trial. Mr. Sobol recognizes how emotional divorce and other family law related matters can be. He strives to try to empathize with you and guide you forward to the best future possible for you and your family, with skill, compassion, and empathy.
