SHARON DIAMANT WAS FANTASTIC IN MY DIVORCE

I cannot recommend Sharon Diamant strongly enough. I consulted with her in early 2022, and her approach was refreshing, real and utterly straightforward. She did not sugarcoat what sort of results she could produce, and she was very straightforward in giving me all of my options. Sharon always got ...back to me when I texted her. If she was in Court, she said so. She met with me on my schedule, which usually included Saturday mornings. When we were in Court, she was organized and prepared. My custody case actually wound up going before a Judge, and she presented my case in a methodical and easy-to-follow way. She simplified a very complex process. She appears to be incredibly well-liked by her colleagues and the Court, and it was clear to me she is well-respected. I was very impressed by her calm, rational and reasoned demeanor. She answered every question I had and was never condescending, nor did she ever make me feel like I wasn't the most important client she had. On a personal note, Sharon is an absolute sweetheart. She always insisted I call her by her first name, and it is very clear this lawyer has no ego. She is there to get a job done. I don't recommend divorce, but if you have to go through a divorce or custody case, you cannot go wrong with Sharon. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER.

If you are looking for a divorce attorney, please contact Sharon Tal Diamant

Sharon is one of the best family attorney that America has ever produced that I've worked with. During my first meeting, she explained everything to me from the beginning to the end that i could understand and she was very involved and responsive to all of my questions in my divorce case. She represe...nted me until I finally got my divorce. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable, caring and family lawyer, at a reasonable price, than call the law office of Diamant Gerstein, LLC, and specifically ask for Sharon Diamant, Esquire. She's one of the "BEST" family lawyer that I had retained and I highly recommend her because she gets the job done in a timely manner.

Methodical, Passionate, Great Communication

I live in South Carolina. My granddaughter lives in Maryland. I am a grandmother and great grandmother. Retired for over 20 years and I explained my dilemma as a retiree working on a budget. She was extremely understanding and worked with me to come up with a financial plan. Thank you; your sta...ff and Erin for the assistance with this difficult case to ensure the best outcome possible. As I mentioned before, I am so grateful to have found you to represent and advocate for my granddaughter. Although she and I knew that you were passionate about your work and very thoughtful of her continuing on with her life throughout this case, we both knew what had to be done in order for her to realize that she was not going to be exonerated from all of the charges. Sharon also worked me from Lastly, thank you for assisting with expunging her record. I'm grateful for that also. I would recommend your firm to anyone. One thing for sure, I didn't have to do too much because you were behind the scenes working all the time although we thought you were not. Your work was fluid and you were direct with your actions the entire time. BRILLIANT WORK! Sincerely, "LL"--

Superhero Attorney! Will save your life.

You want to have a lawyer if you plan to divorce. There are many lawyers to choose from, but not all are excellent. Sharon Diamant is outstanding. She’s so much more than a competent attorney, she is a superhero. My divorce was painful and messy. Sharon defended me with ferocity, and she put me in m...y place at the same time. Exactly what I needed. My bruised ego and hurt feelings screamed for vengeance, but she calmly and rationally explained that my moral righteousness would cost me untold thousands of dollars and prolong the separation I most desperately needed. Thank G-d I listened. Sharon excels at communication. She answers her own phone! She texts when she can’t talk. She’s honest and direct. She sets high standards for herself and her clients. Sharon will not waste your time and money pursuing actions that she does not support. Not a few times Sharon offered to refer me to an attorney who would do my bidding because she refused to do it. Sharon is a warrior -- a former criminal prosecutor who knows Maryland divorce law inside and out. Divorce is difficult. It’s painful. You want a powerful attorney; also, you may need to be saved from yourself. Sharon Diamant is a lifesaver. Eternally grateful!

Knowledge, Experience, Results!

Sharon Diamant recently represented our business in small claims court and won our case for us. She was professional, respectful, attentive and thorough. She was always available to respond to our questions and concerns and treated us like we were her most important client. We have used other attorne...ys in the past, but Sharon’s knowledge and expertise of the law is second to none. We will definitely be recommending Sharon to family and friends as she knows the law and gets results.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Sharon was my opposing counsel on a high-conflict family law case. Sharon was trust worthy and zealous in the representation of her client - yet, no nonsense and professional in her dealings with me. Sharon was able to help her client negotiate (and ultimately help the family) settle a case that had been tied up in Court for nearly two (2) years prior. Her style was both practical and effective. I do not hesitate to endorse her work."

"I am very impressed with Ms Diamant's willingness to provide info and assistance to this out of state lawyer whose client from MD got in trouble in my state. I'd researched for over 2 hours to no avail; Ms Diamant texted me a provider's name and telephone number in a matter of seconds. Problem solved!
