Probate Consultation

I am deeply grateful for the consultation with Attorney Sharon. She went above and beyond a typical consultation, offering clear guidance on how best to proceed with a complex case.

An Excellent Lawyer

I rated Ms. Sharon A. Legal excellent due to her ability to juggle multiple cases with a short fuse. She remains professional, knowledgeable, patient and a very good listener. I was happy that she accepted me with many open cases. Some are complete with more to go. She also afforded an opportunity... to learn so much about the court system and erase the thought of relinquish. I just referred a friend to Ms. Legal who is in need of support following the loss of her dad. Based on my experience, without a double Ms. Legal would be perfect.

Probate Case

Hi, I was in an unusual situation with finding out who my biological father was in 2015, he passed away in March 2024, an probate was open up in dc court for my dad by one of his other children which is my sister, she did not include me in anything. I reached out to attorney Sharron Legall, I explain...ed my story to her, she listen to everything I said, she stated something’s to me that I needed to know, dealing with real life situations can be very emotional and hurtful. Attorney Legall is the best I understand I hired her to be my attorney but it also feels good when you know that she take her cases serious and she is honest upfront about everything , I’m happy that I hired her and if you ever need an attorney please reach out to her firm she will do exactly what you need her for, her and her staff is very professional. Thank you.

Great to work with

She went above and beyond a typical consultation and advised me how best to proceed through a complex case. And when she felt I didn't need an attorney and could handle it myself, she told me so. Would definitely use her services again.
