Run fast!

Took my $350 consult fee. 1/2 way through consult said she couldn't represent me with certain judge die to representing that judges ex in court. Then... Never showed up for court. Said she'd sent her associate who didn't show up either. When I approached her office, associate said she didn't know ...Anything about my case and would have SJ contact me. 1.5 weeks later she did asking for me to send financials to court. I respectfully reminded her she hadn't showed up in court and I had hired a different attorney. Don't hire SJ. SHE is obviously too busy or becoming ill with dementia.

There seems to be a good deal of confusion on this person’s part. S/he was specifically told during the consultation that the firm could not represent her. Nobody from the firm appeared on this person’s behalf as we were conflicted out. I am sorry s/he did not understand and apologize for any discomfort s/he felt at the court appearance. Shari Jo Reich

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!

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.
