Excellent lawyer with experience & expertise

Ms. Scharf represents my employers - a high profile actress & filmmaker - living in NYC. She has helped them with a number of different legal scenarios where a knowledgable, professional lawyer was required, and has represented these clients with the utmost respect and serviceability. Though they tr...uly could have chosen any lawyer in Manhattan, they continually return to Ms. Scharf for her expertise on all legal matters. She is pleasant to deal with, is easy to reach via both email and phone, and her office is very efficient, organized, and client-focused. I highly recommend her services.

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.
