Do not hire

Unfortunately I hired Shari, she is not organized and she was prolonging the case for billable hours. Absolute worst attorney I ever hired. So bad, I fired her after about $8000 I spent. She care nothing about my case or my family. She was forgetful and wasted so much of my time and money. I hired a ...different attorney after Shari did nothing, and in a couple of months my family divorce ordeal was over. It was amazing how an attorney that actually cared got the job done that Shari was totally lost on. Because of her work, my divorce took so much longer than it had to. Please shop around for someone who cares about your family. Shari cared about her income in my case.

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.

Glad and Grateful

I was referred to Shari Jo from a real estate attorney that I know and trust. As a result, I trusted her right from the beginning because of his strong recommendation. It's a painful and uncomfortable time when your marriage has dissolved, and you don't know your rights AND you're full of questions.... Shari Jo is friendly, no-nonsense and very experienced. She and her team were very responsive. She doesn't make the Law, but she certainly navigates you through it so that you come out the other end as unscathed as possible. She wrote a brilliant legal separation agreement, and the process only took 51 days from the start to the agreement being filed. I'm glad and grateful that she handled my case. I highly recommend Shari Jo Reich!

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.

Excellent Lawyer

Shari Jo Reich is an excellent lawyer. I was pleased in her handling of my divorce. She looked at every angle possible to held me get a fair divorce agreement but what I respected is that Shari Jo also listens to what you want or think will be best. My divorce was not very complex or a lot to nego...tiate but I do believe if there was that situation, Shari Jo would be excellent in handling and seeing that her client gets the best possible representation.
