Absolutely would recommend

I’m SO glad I went with Shari Jo. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful through this whole process. She fought for me when no one else would And kept me in the loop every step of the way. I would HIGHLY recommend using her

Hire another lawyer

Shari made the process overly adversarial and toxic, she fought over everything which delayed the entire process to no one's benefit but her billable hours. If you want a wrecking ball taken to any hope of coparenting or getting along with your ex once this unpleasant process is over - HIRE ANOTHER... LAWER !

Rude, abrasive, and condescending

Simply put don’t hire her. She was rude, abrasive and condescending. More often than not I left our conversations feeling insulted, talked down to and wondering who’s side she was on. She often was trying to turn a simple family court issues into a long drawn out expensive ordeal to run up the billab...le hours. She’s as pleasant as a porcupine. Don’t waste your money on this woman. There are plenty of better options.

Condescending

Shari Jo does not know how to speak to people. She acts like everyone is beneath her. My fiance waited days to hear back from her, while she was sending unnecessary emails to the other attorney and charging my fiance. She needs to work on communication.

Do not hire this attorney

Unfortunately I was a client of Shari Jo. She won’t solve your case, don’t hire this attorney. She was unresponsive, disrespectful, didn’t show knowledge that she could apply to the case. She will spend time for the sake of bill not to help you to solve your case. She is unprofessional, not personabl...e, will not listen to you. Do not hire her!

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.
