Review

Sharon came recommended to me from a close friend. When we first met she immediately made me feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation. She listened to my situation and offered her professional opinion and suggestions on the spot. The conversation we shared gave me the confidence that I need...ed to move forward in the next step of my journey. She was friendly, straight forward and very motivating.

Sharon did a great job writing up a pre-nup for my fiancé and I. She made a touchy topic, humorous and educational. All the while, maintaining her professionalism. Sharon is a delight. Glad we utilized her services! I highly recommend her!

Highly Recommended Attorney and Mediator

Ms. Sayers represented me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Her legal expertise combined with an outstanding ability to apply the law to my case resulted in the best possible outcomes for me and my children. She consistently made me feel protected and always had the best interest of... my family top of mind. I am forever grateful to Ms. Sayers and highly recommend her to anyone considering an attorney or mediator.

Family lawyer | Jan 10

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Sharon has always been known as a zealous advocate in the area of family law. Her recent transition to applying mediation and collaborative law skills to this area of the law is natural and well suited for her, as she is very aware of the pitfalls clients can experience in litigation. I would not hesitate to refer any client to her who may be interested in a non-court based resolution. I highly endorse this lawyer."

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.
