Anthony Peter Sofra (Tony) began his legal career in 1962, as a law clerk with the firm Abernethy Towers under the tutelage of Mr. Jack Towers. In 1977, Tony qualified as a Legal Practitioner and ventured out on his own to create Anthony P. Sofra & Co in offices located in Welsford Street, Shepparton. In 1985, he built our current offices at 366 Wyndham Street, Shepparton.
For more than 54 years he has been fighting for the best interest of his clients. He is a respected member of both the legal fraternity and the Goulburn Valley community.
His son Patrick Sofra (Ric) joined the firm as an article clerk in 1997. Save for two years practicing law in Dublin, Ireland, Ric has matured and developed with the firm. He was made a director in July 2008.
The firm changed its name to Sofra Solicitors on 1 July 2005.
The respect and reputation currently enjoyed by the firm stems from the weighty contributions of Tony. In recent times, Ric has built his own reputations and clients to enable Sofra Solicitors to grow in size and clientele to become a well-respected medium size firm in regional Victoria.
We are proud of our local community and care a lot about it.
Our firm is involved in a range of projects such as fundraising, working with charitable groups, providing pro bono services, actively participating in community programs and representation on various boards.
Some of our partnerships include:
