In June 2023, Sorokin faced more legal troubles as theNew York Postreported that a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit claimed thatSorokin owes her disbarred lawyer, Audrey A. Thomas, more than $152,000. The lawsuit also claimed that Sorokin made false allegations against her former attorney in order not to pay.

Since firing Thomas in April 2022, Sorokin filed a lawsuit accusing her former attorney of withholding records in her immigration and criminal case, according to theNew York Post,in order to get out of paying Thomas the “astronomical legal fees” she is owed, according to Thomas' own filing in the Manhattan Supreme Court.

Thomas' suit declares that Sorokin “was able to remain in the United States because while she was taken to the airport and literally sitting in the gate area with her belongings in garbage bags, [Thomas] filed a writ and secured a stay from deportation removal.”

Though Thomas was disbarred in November 2022 for allegedly robbing an elderly client, her filing further states that “The disbarment… does not negate the balance that the defendant owes.”
