Amazing to work with!

I worked with Shara on a custody and divorce case, and I couldn't have asked for someone better to work with. Shara was attentive, communicated with me every step of the way, and was very fair. My case had many complications and Shara handled each with class and knowledge. I would and have recomme...nded her to others in need of an attorney.

Realistic

I have had the opportunity to watch Shara work for years. So, i knew, when it came time to needing my own legal advice, Shara was the one to consult. She knows her subject matter and gave me the facts, with the realistic out comes, whether it was what I wanted to hear or not. Even better, she is a h...ard charger and what can be gained - she goes after, or provided the successful strategy to do so. No false hopes, no drawn out wasteful litigation - a clear advice, for obtainable objectives and the professional spirit to fight hard to successfully achieve them. I continue to utilize Shara's services and recommend them.

Great Representation

I have hired Shara on several occasions for my business and personal matters for legal advice and representation. No matter what the situation she treated each case as if they were her own with attention and clear confident advice. Her knowledge and experience is evident from the first consultation.... She takes a personal interest in every action. Her performance has been second to none. I give Shara the highest recommendation possible.

Outstanding Lawyer

Shara Hendler assisted me with setting up a Will and Living Will. This process was somewhat emotional, but necessary and Shara put me at ease from start to finish. Shara is very professional and takes the time to get to know her clients in order to provide the best service to fit their needs. She pat...iently explained legal jargon I didn't understand and ensured I was comfortable with every process. I would hire her again without hesitation!

Family law

Ms. Hendler is an excellent resource. I consulted with her on elder care issues related to my mother. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to family law. My consultations with her saved me time and money. I would recommend her without hesitation. If the opportunity arises, I will not hesitate to c...all her again.

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.
