"Help in time of need"

Mr. Ed Sharkey and his firm including Janine. Where the most compassionate, professional, well prepared, educating and encouraging lawyers I have ever met. I have a large family and several businesses in Prince George's County Maryland and have used many lawyers in the past. We know were to go from n...ow on. To the "Sharkey team". Where we have had a hundred percent positive results! Thanks Ed and Jeanine from the "Artistic" team.

loan default

I held a loan that went into default. There were some wrinkles regarding jurisdiction and strategy. The debtor was especially recalcitrant. Ed devised a strategy that was efficient resulting in a favorable disposition of the loan. Ed is clearly an extremely competent, compassionate, and a total g...entleman. I recommend him very highly.

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.
