This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Awesome !!

I haven’t been approved or denied yet ! the professionalism and knowledge this law office has is beyond this world. They always call me back. They stayed on top of things. Even made sure I did my part as a client. We have to help these lawyers help us. Like go to our appointments and doing as t...he doctor says. The lawyers can’t help if we don’t do that. I love this office. Lawyer Sharon Christie is so sweet and she used to be a nurse so she knows a lot for that I trust her. I’m happy I choosed her.

The Nordstrom's of Attorneys

Sharon handled my disability case with Social Security and I couldn't be happier. Her staff was always very kind, sincere and very concerned about my case. I felt like a human being with them, not a case file. Sharon is also a nurse, which may explain her caring about my case to the point of calling ...me on her way home after 6:30PM, 3 times just to see how I was doing. Sharon Christie and her staff are definitely the Nordstrom's of attorneys.

"Sharon Christie is the top social security, medical malpractice and nursing home abuse lawyer in Maryland and Washington, DC. She was a nurse before she became a lawyer, so she knows medicine as well as law. A truly caring individual who has taken care of clients needs for decades, her Unofficial Guide to Social Security Disability Claims is full of good information. I highly recommend Sharon Christie as a great lawyer and person."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Sharon Christie is one of the most knowledgeable and compassionate Maryland personal injury lawyers I know. Sharon has the unique advantage of effectively handling Social Security disability cases, nursing home negligence and medical malpractice cases because she is also a nurse. She has first-hand knowledge of the industry as well as access to experts who can help strengthen and solidify a personal injury case. A passionate advocate for patients’ rights, Sharon has helped hundreds of people who have been unfairly victimized by the healthcare system. She is a member of the distinguished Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an organization that recognizes lawyers who have achieved million-dollar verdicts or settlements for their clients. Sharon is the author of Sharon Christie’s Unofficial Guide to Social Security Disability Claims.” Her wealth of knowledge, her unique expertise and her genuine concern for her clients certainly makes Sharon Christie one of Maryland’s best personal injury attorneys."
