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

Brought simplicity to a complicated process

Top marks for Shari Jo. Her experience really helped me sleep at night as she guided me though this emotionally challenging and stressful situation. Her matter of fact style helped to quickly and efficiently draft the settlement. Great follow up to all of my inquiries throughout the process. When... the process was stalled by the other side, she gave me great advice to get the process moving and ultimately bring closure to the process.

Experienced and Fights for You

Shari Jo comes to the table with decades of experience in matrimonial law, yet pays attention to every detail of the new cases she takes on. This combination of experience and attention to detail is extremely effective. In my situation, she was informed, prepared and strategic in every step of a leng...thy legal process. My advice would be trust her to do what she does best - handle matrimonial cases with expertise and conviction. She showed me that she genuinely believed in what is just and right, worked for just that and won.

Simply the best

Shari Jo did everything she was hired to do and more. She made it clear regarding what to expect and how to proceed. She was always available, was willing to listen to suggestions and modify strategy if it was going to improve the outcome. She was in charge so if you want to tell her what to d...o she is not for you. If you want to win, she is the one!

Brilliant Attorney

I cannot speak highly enough about Shari Jo Reich. She is the most professional, clever, honest lawyer you will ever meet. Her manner when I was going through one of the roughest times of my life was always calming, and her intense level of confidence most reassuring. My ex husband was going after e...verything I had worked so very hard for and it was promising to become a very ugly and drawn out battle. That was not the case in the end as Shari Jo had the most brilliant "chess move", that neither the opposing lawyer or my ex ever saw coming. They backed down from her clever use of the true facts and the end result was over swiftly and in a most favorable outcome for me and my assets. I always felt that she had my best interests at heart and never once did I feel like I was "billable hours", which my ex clearly was to his lawyer. She cared about me as a client who needed help. At our initial meeting I had brought a check with me ready to retain her services, (I was referred to her by 2 separate lawyer friends and was advised of her legendary reputation). She told me to read her contract before making any decisions, and yet still took the time to hear and have opinions about my situation upon meeting. Within a few minutes she sorted out some interesting possibilities for defense. I had called a few others prior to finding out about her and they all demanded a retainer upon meeting. Shari Jo's comment to me was that "she wanted to protect me" and that she did. If you want to be coddled and hand held with a shoulder to cry on she is not your lady, she is ALL business on your behalf. But if you want a fierce tiger who lies in wait for the right moment to strike to get you what you deserve she is the one for you.
