Wade Mapley

Sobel, Wade, and Mapley helped me settle a case in a timely and efficient manner. Their thoroughness, care, and communication is top notch and they answered all of my questions along the way. I recommend them to anyone seeking council or advice, as they went above and beyond to help me through my case.

Sobel, Wade & Mapley was exceptionally professional and delivered exactly the support I needed. Their team was responsive and made the entire process straightforward. I’m very satisfied with the service provided and would confidently recommend them.

UPDATE: Sobel & Associates reached back out after my original review, and we had a thoughtful and encouraging conversation. This experience reminded me of the importance of allowing people the opportunity to tell their story and to make amends when they demonstrate sincerity and genuine concern. In our discussion, I felt heard, and I gained a better understanding of their approach. While my initial consultation was extremely brief—barely five minutes—and left me feeling dismissed (as described below), I now recognize the value of their willingness to revisit the situation. If needed, I am open to reaching back out to the firm in the future to discuss things further. I appreciate that they took the time to connect and that they are willing to engage with clients beyond the first impression. This goes a long way toward rebuilding trust. Original Review: This firm didn’t even try to make it past the consultation stage. From the start, they missed the scheduled time frame for our initial meeting, which immediately made me question their professionalism. When we finally spoke, their attitude was shockingly dismissive. It felt like they weren’t listening, weren’t engaged, and certainly weren’t taking the emotional toll of my situation seriously. Rather than offering a thoughtful strategy or even a sense that they were invested in helping, they gave a vague, surface-level response that showed little effort and no clear stance on how they’d approach my case. It felt rushed, cold, and careless; exactly the opposite of what you’d hope for when seeking legal guidance. If this is how they treat a potential client during a consultation, I can only imagine how little effort would go into actual representation. I walked away more stressed and disappointed than when I came in. Bottom line: They wasted my time and left me feeling unheard. I strongly recommend finding a firm that respects you and actually puts effort into understanding your case, this is not that place.

I'm sure the attorneys are great - i never got to talk to one. Anne who answered the phone pretty much shot me down without even making an effort to understand my case or my situation. I was referred to this law firm by another firm, and they recommended Peter Mapley. I never got the chance to speak with him.

Claire is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. Working with her helped me navigate a very stressful situation and eased my anxiety. I highly recommend reaching out to her with any discrimination or employment issues!

Recently, I needed help to get some answers to a tricky legal matter relative to my previous employer that was bothering me and was indeed the reason I left that company. After consulting 4 or 5 different attorneys and receiving unsatisfactory answers another firm referred me to Sobel, Wade & Mapley as true subject matter experts in employment and for sure, they where the only firm I spoke to that had the technical depth to show how the law applied to my case. I write here to express my thank you and gratitude to both Peter Mapley and Claire O'Brian who worked with me until I had everything I needed. Thanks, truly appreciated! Beyond having the legal understanding that I needed both Claire and Peter were attentive and responsive and I felt truly valued. Going forward my go to folks whenever I need legal counsel

I highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking experienced contract law legal advice. Mr. Sobel was thorough, detailed, and concise in his answers, and eliminated all of my anxiety.

Highly highly recommend Claire Wade— Very responsive, explains everything thoroughly, and truly goes above and beyond!

Mr. Sean Sobel was knowledgeable, helpful, empathetic, and honest in helping me understand the legal ramifications of some questions that I had. Not only did Sean help guide me through the entire process, but I learned more about my rights going forward so I’m ready to tackle the next issue if it might come. I am extremely grateful for Sean’s expertise. Thank you!

Claire Wade was AMAZING! Very efficient, knowledgeable and kept me informed every step of the way. GREAT communication. If you need a really good atty, Claire is the go-to.

Sean was friendly and helpful in dealing with a legal issue recently. I will gladly call upon him again in the future, should the need arise.

Would recommend Sean H. Sobel & the entire team at Sobel, Wade & Mapley. Expert guidance & very responsive.

After being successfully employed for over 40 years I never imagined needing legal assistance for a work related issue. I retained the services of Claire Wade and I have never regretted that decision. Claire walked me through the process and responded immediately to my place of employment addressing a last minute issue that clearly tipped the scales in my favor. A true professional and I would highly recommend her for your employment needs.

An incredible firm that I owe so much gratitude and appreciation. What they have done representing our company is immeasurable. Peter and Sean's knowledge, preparedness, and promptness gave me unwavering confidence from the day we hired them. Thank you Peter and continued successes to your firm.

Peter Mapley was very professional and helpful, we will continue to work with him as the needs arise.
