Smart and actually cares

Done a few real estate transactions with Shari. So far it’s been great. She’s both fast and protective of my interests. Performs well under pressure and isn’t afraid to fight for me. Definitely way better than some of the other lawyers I’ve used in the past

Shari is the best!!

Shari is excellent at what she does. She was my real estate attorney and made the whole home buying process so much less stressful. In addition to that, she is always there if I have a question or need advice. I would highly recommend her!!

Missed Key Point & Cost Me More

I utilized Ms. Sugarman in the purchase of a condo and the selling of another condo. In short, Ms. Sugarman missed a key point in the management of these two contracts and neglected to read an important document handed over to her, which she promised to do and was key to the selling and purchase. T...his cost me more in the end. Ms. Sugarman also will rarely get to you personally by phone. In my lifetime of utilizing superb attorneys in everyday matters, never have I experienced an attorney protecting herself more than the client. Hopefully, this review will make you think twice about hiring Ms. Sugarman.

It is difficult to respond to Ms. Boltax's complaints since anything I will write will sound disingenuous. The key thing I will say is because of the difficulties of working with this client, I eventually resorted to responding to her questions in writing so that there was no miscommunications.

Top Notch Attorney

You would be hard pressed to find a better attorney. Shari handled a real estate transaction from an estate transfer. Every step of the way she was quick to respond to our questions in a very timely manner. She offered outstanding advice during an initial offer that was clearly becoming problemati...c. We ended up with very satisfied and qualified buyers. Thanks Shari !
