Excellent Attorney

Mr.Scharoff represented me over the years for a multitude of issues. As of recent, my divorce, which was a high net worth case and quite involved. He is an outstanding attorney and the ultimate professional. He does everything in a very timely manner. I was very impressed that he always knew the i...ntricate details of my case every time we spoke. He was consistently responsive to every call and email. Mr.Scharoff provided well thought out solutions while never taking advantage of me financially. He is highly respected by the judges and his peers, it was vey apparent. If you are looking for strong and dedicated representation that sits on a foundation of experience and trust, I highly recommend Mr.Scharoff.

Very satisfied

Mr. Scharoff represented me in a very long, complex and painful divorce case, and did not pull any punches in managing my expectations. Despite several court delays, an unexpected change of judges and the Covid pandemic, he worked hard to support the validity of my case and the court ruled in my favo...r. He put in a tremendous effort and I am truly grateful.

Look elsewhere

Mr Scharoff represented me in my divorce. My initial impressions were that he was knowledgeable and encouraging. Well after retaining him I found him to be completely unprofessional on many levels. In the initial stages of the divorce on 2 occasions I received a phone call that he couldn't appear an...d other lawyers would be handling the case that day. There were many occasions at court where I was waiting hours for the lawyers to speak to the judge (never saw the judge once..divorce settled). While there, I wanted to discuss my case. He was almost always unavailable. On one occasion I called him out on it and I was dismissed by him. He then resumed discussing other case with other attorneys. I was in a custody dispute. My ex-wife was a non working spouse. We had a conference scheduled between myself and ex-wife, her and my lawyer, my daughters lawyer (my wife & daughters lawyer are at my expense too.) Mr Sharoff was over 40 minutes late to the meeting which not only added to his bill but also the 2 other attorneys. The meeting was rushed as the other attorneys had other commitments and thought was wasted time as a result. Promises to adjust the bill for his and their time resulted in "lets have a conference" which never happened. I did have one conference to adjust a different billing conflict. I was then billed for the conference to discuss the bill(it was removed once I caught it). My Ex wife and I ended up not going to court and we signed a divorce agreement. My ex wife was obsessed with getting the finalized agreement signed off by the judge. Upon filing the papers Mr Scharoff set my expectations that he would get the court stamped copies but it takes several months to a year. He said he would check weekly and provide them when issued. I had already paid him a substantial sum. I was to pay him the balance upon completion of the case. My ex was hounding me and making my life miserable because she didn't have the final papers in hand. After months of calls to Mr Scharoffs office who stated they didn't have it yet,I went down to the court to check the status personally. Low and behold I got 2 stamped copies that had been signed by the judge months before. I couldn't believe that I was ignored in this fashion. The only time they reached out is when I didn't settle the balance. I explained (to his assistant) that he did not deliver the final product which caused a tremendous amount of conflict. I told his assistant that I was inclined not to pay. He has been sending me invoices for over the last couple of years, adding interest to each bill monthly. I finally received a letter from a collection agency. I have just got my credit back form my divorce and now he is threatening that. I would ask you if you think I should recommend his services or report him to the bar association?

Excellent Attorney

Mr.Scharoff represented me during the worst time of my life, a divorce after 25 years. My wife and I were quite successful and had many assets to divide. Never once did he take advantage of my financial situation, he was always fair and gave me straight advice as to what would be worth fighting for ...and what I would be wasting my money on. My many phone calls were always responded to within a timely manner as well as my emails. I was never made to feel rushed and always felt like a top priority. This attorney is one of the best I have come across on every level. A straight shooter with my best interests at heart and not his own. A rare find !

Top Notch - Attorney

Mr. Scharoff came highly recommended and represented me in a very complicated high asset divorce, also involving custody of my children. I now highly recommend him based on my own experience. His expertise and close attention to detail made this process as painless as possible. He was upfront, hone...st, and clear he had my best interests at heart. Quick to respond via email or phone, understanding and above all a complete professional who takes what he does seriously mixed with a world of legal knowledge. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a straight shooter who can get the job done in a timely, cost effective manner.

"Jerry is a true professional. He is a worthy adversary who has a great knowledge of the law.
