The case is entitled “In the Matter of Jill Tobia Sorger,” with case no. 2025-03688.
The court’s decision follows a previous order issued on November 17, 2022, which suspended Sorger from her duties as an attorney and counselor-at-law. This suspension was put in place due to her non-compliance with the relevant provisions of the law.

The court reviewed the motion and, after thorough deliberation, decided to grant her request, allowing her to resume her legal practice immediately.
The reinstatement marks a significant turn in Sorger’s legal career, as she is now permitted to practice law in New York once again.
According to Avvo.com, Ms. Sorger is an employment and labor attorney in Harrison, New Jersey. She attended the Seton Hall School of Law. She acquired her law license in New York in 1997.
