* Documentation of current or prior peripheral blood (PB) or bone marrow (BM) immunophenotype compatible with CLL
* Patients who currently do not have \> 5,000/mm³ absolute lymphocytosis are eligible if they have previously met PB lymphocytosis criteria and have a current immunophenotype documenting monoclonal B lymphocytosis morphologically and immunophenotypically compatible with CLL
* Intermediate-risk (Rai stage I or II) or high-risk (Rai stage III or IV) disease, including any of the following:
* Rai stage I disease with lymphocytosis and enlarged nodes
* Rai stage II disease with lymphocytosis plus splenomegaly and/or hepatomegaly (nodes positive or negative)
* Rai stage III disease with lymphocytosis plus anemia
* Rai stage IV disease with lymphocytosis and thrombocytopenia
* Must require treatment with active disease, experiencing disease related symptoms, or having deterioration of blood counts, meeting ≥ 1 of the following criteria:
* Presence of ≥ 1 of the following disease-related symptoms:
* Weight loss \> 10% within the past 6 months
* Extreme fatigue (i.e., ECOG performance status 2: cannot work or unable to perform usual activities)
* Fever \> 100.5°F for 2 weeks without evidence of infection
* Night sweats without evidence of infection
* Evidence of progressive marrow failure, as manifested by worsening of anemia (hemoglobin \< 10 g/dL), thrombocytopenia (platelet count \< 100,000/mm³), and/or neutropenia (neutrophil count \< 2,000/mm³)
* Massive (i.e., \> 6 cm below left costal margin) or progressive splenomegaly or discomfort from splenomegaly
* Massive nodes or clusters (i.e., \> 10 cm in longest diameter), progressive adenopathy, or discomfort from lymphadenopathy
* Deterioration of blood counts and/or progressive lymphocytosis, with an increase of ≥ 10% documented over a 2-month period OR an anticipated doubling time \< 6 months
* Relapsed disease
* Must receive at least 1, but no more than 3, prior chemotherapy regimens with any cytotoxic agent or antibody therapy
* No fludarabine refractory disease
* Responded to prior fludarabine without relapse or disease progression for at least 6 months
* Patients with a history of Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia are eligible provided recovery from treatment of hemolysis and off steroids
* No stage 0 CLL
* No known CNS involvement
* Life expectancy \> 6 months
* ECOG performance status 0-2 OR Karnofsky performance status 70-100%

* No uncontrolled hypertension, defined as blood pressure (BP) \> 150/100 mm Hg on 2 different measurements at least 1 day apart with either systolic or diastolic number meeting this definition
* Patients may later enter the study, if they have achieved stable BP (i.e., \< 140/90 mm Hg) on a regimen of ≤ 2 drugs after 6-8 weeks of therapy
* No history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to sorafenib
* No uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, any of the following:
* Symptomatic congestive heart failure
* Unstable angina pectoris
* Cardiac arrhythmia
* Psychiatric illness or social situations that would limit compliance with the study requirements
* No active infection requiring systemic antibiotics
* No evidence of bleeding diathesis
* No evidence of bowel perforation or obstruction risk
* No swallowing dysfunction leading to difficulty taking the study drug
* See Disease Characteristics
* Recovered from prior therapy
* At least 2 weeks since prior antibiotic therapy
* At least 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) or radiotherapy
* At least 12 weeks since prior monoclonal antibody
* Concurrent warfarin for anticoagulation allowed provided all of the following are met:
