PHENOMENALLY OUSTANDING ATTORNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shari Jo is my attorney and represented me throughout my child custody case. What you can expect from her is woman who will dilligently fight for her clients rights to the bitter end and beyond! She is an INCREDIBLEY cunning and very creative attorney who gets results and is very cost effective! She ...did an OUSTANDING job in my case with the exact results I wanted! If you're a single father living Erie County I can tell you first hand that the odds ARE NOT IN YOUR FAVOR. Shari Jo Reich is the counter to that! I highly recommend her! In fact if your a single father I would tell you straight out there simply is NO OTHER CHOICE! Shari looks at every aspect of your individual case from the very first day that you meet with her to formulate the best possible outcome for you. She doesn't pull ANY punches or sugar coat the facts. I personally will NEVER STEP FOOT in Family Court with out Shari Jo as my attorney! The time to find out how good your lawyer really is isn't when your standing in front of a judge.

Best family law attorney in town

Great Family Law attorney

Very effective. Shari Jo used her extensive knowledge of the Family Court system to generate the best possible outcome for my situation. Seems to have the respect of both judges and fellow attorneys.

You will not find a better attorney! Shari Jo is the best!!

In Western New York Shari Jo Reich is peerless in Family Law! Aside from the top-notch preparation, breadth of her knowledge and speedy communication/response to any questions or event, I was impressed with the respect everybody in the Erie County Family Court showed to Shari Jo every time we were th...ere. My father was a town justice for 10 years and he has remarked to me that some of the worst prepared people he came across were attorneys. Shari Jo and her partner Laura Emerson are the antithesis of that. To use an "Old West" expression: They will head the competition off at the pass. . . The results received from SJ's efforts when I petitioned for full custody in Spring of 2010 were everything that I sought. By August the case was pretty much sown up. Thanks Shari Jo. You're the best.

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.
