Extremely helpful an supportive

The attorneys and staff at the Sharova Law practice were invaluable when it came to helping me navigate my divorce proceedings and protect my rights. Their preparation and approach to help me feel comfortable through challenging times go beyond any standard I’ve ever seen. I would highly recommend Y...elena and her attorney’s.

Does not follow up

I spoke with her by phone and she quoted me $15k - $20k to do preliminary work on my case. I thought that was high but did not rule her out. She claims to have expertise in internet privacy issues. I sent her a document to review three times in the month that followed and she never responded, and rep...eatedly said she had not received the document despite my emailing it to her at the correct address. I was not impressed with her based on this interaction.

I am not aware of who this individual is and there is not enough information in the post for me to respond adequately other to say that we have a 100% satisfied rating. Our normal practice is to respond to everyone timely whether we are retained or do an investigation.

Helpful and awesome experience

I met Yelena in December of 2015 regarding my divorce case. My divorce was highly contested. She was very helpful with explaining all the process and gave her opinions which was in my best interest. After a year and half because of her help and her knowledge I was able to get a settlement which worke...d for me. She has been very professional and helped me throughout the process. She would also give me the estimated fees amount in advance which helped me in managing my finances. She also helped me with my complicated immigration case as well. I am happy that Yelena helped me with my divorce and immigration case.

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.
