About Jeffrey R.
Jeffrey R. Sonn trained first as a student of Florida law. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Florida in 1984 and received his law degree from the University of Miami School of Law in 1988. Those years set the groundwork for a long career that blends courtroom work, arbitration and bar association service.
Early in his career Sonn built a practice grounded in federal and state admissions. He is authorized to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Trial Bar, and in the state courts of Florida. Those credentials have supported a steady practice that shifted into private practice leadership in the mid-2010s.
In 2016 he was associated with Sonn & Erez, and a year later he established Sonn Law Group as its owner. The move to firm ownership marked a transition from practitioner to firm leader. He has since steered matters that require litigation skills and arbitration experience. His professional timeline reflects both handling individual cases and managing the responsibilities that come with running a small law firm.
Sonn’s profile in professional organizations has been active and long-standing. He has been involved with the Public Investors Arbitrator Bar Association since at least 2005 through membership and committee work on its Annual Meeting Committee. He has served as a director of the association since 2010 and currently chairs its Subcommittee on Dodd-Frank Law and Product Issues in Arbitration. The roles place him in ongoing discussions about arbitration rules, regulatory changes and how those developments affect investor disputes. Outside legal associations, he has volunteered for Camillus House for the Homeless, where he contributes time to community work.
Colleagues describe Sonn as methodical and engaged in procedural and evidentiary issues that arise in arbitration and litigation settings. He balances casework with organizational responsibilities, often taking public-arbitration issues from committee discussion to practical implementation. His work in arbitration committees keeps him close to evolving standards that affect both advocates and arbitrators.
In private practice he handles matters that make use of his federal admissions and arbitration background. His current practice focuses on investor arbitration and securities-related litigation.
