Great Cleaning Up a Mess

I'm a lawyer - though not a divorce lawyer - and was referred to Sharon by a former classmate. She came and cleaned up the mess my prior lawyer made more efficiently than I thought possible. Sharon did what a lawyer should do; She made me feel like it was going to be ok. And it was.

A great lawyer!

I hired Ms. Hoskins to assist me with my recent divorce. I feel extremely lucky to have been referred to her as she made an unbearable situation bearable. She possesses a warm and comforting demeaner which put me at easy immediately. Not having been thru this process before, I relied heavily on ...her knowledge and guidance. The process was fairly quick and I am satisfied with the outcome. Many thanks to her!

Divorce lawyer

Mrs. Hoskins has helped me understand the laws of getting a divorce and also my rights for getting custody of my son. Her advice was fair and I would recommend Mrs. Hoskins for anyone who needs a divorce lawyer.

Excellent Lawyer

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Sharon's work with me was her ability to help me stay calm and focused in the midst of my considerable emotional turmoil. Divorce lawyers are known for gouging vulnerable clients. This never occurred with Sharon. She would give clear advice ( about wasteful and ...unnecessary communications) but would always do what I'd ask. Her literary skills made my communications more effective and powerful than I could produce myself. Lastly, now that the divorce is concluded she turned out to be right about the few times I doubted her and I am grateful. I have and will continue to recommend her highly.

An honest attorney

It was not the best situation, given the circumstances of a prenup that was strongly against me and her opposite number being a highly experienced, very ruthless lawyer (not to mention my ex's attitude and vastly greater financial resources). But I think Sharon did a great job and have and would re...commend her again. In the end, though I didn't get the ideal outcome, what I got was a great deal better than I would have otherwise, I think. Also, I think she's a very honest person; very fair and will not bend things to her benefit. She will put you, the client, first and foremost.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
