Great Lawyer

Sharon and her firm were great to work with. Very down to earth and reasonable in her approach. She wasn't litigation happy and worked for the best interest of my case. She was fair and reasonable in her billing practices. My case ultimately went to trial although she attempted to settle outside... of court and when we went before the judge she presented a solid, strong case. The outcome was better than what I was prepared to offer in mediation if the other party would have been willing to negotiate. I absolutely recommend Sharon and will use her in future custody issues.

Child custody

Sharon was wonderful to work with and helped set my mind at ease in a very difficult time. She was very thorough and stood strong for my son’s best interests.

Father Gets Primary Custody

Attorney McLaughlin In my eyes is a brilliant and up and coming lawyer. She has natural intuition into how to read people. She catered my custody trial around her knowledge of the judge and her knowledge of my ex and our history. She took the time to think outside of the box and asked for my input.... Over the lunch break of the trial she even told me she had remembered an email that would contradict what my Ex had testified to. She pays attention to details, very organized and professional. Fathers just don’t get primary Custody. She made it happen. I will be forever thankful for her services.

Excellent

Attorney McLaughlin is an excellent choice. My case involved a child custody dispute and it appeared I'd end up with less physical custody. Attorney McLaughlin was able to negotiate more favorable custody schedule than what I originally started with! Had it gone to trial, I'm sure she would have been... excellent too. She's also has good people skills and listened to everything I thought was important, to understand the big picture I was conveying. Thank you!

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.
