Shari Jo Wilson

We had a dependency case that was very complicated and Shari Wilson took the time necessary to go through each hearing and motion with my family. We were able to get my nephews out of foster care (they were placed there after the death of their caregiver) and my family is forever grateful to Shari's ...hard work as it was no easy task fighting for change of placement and overturning a negative home study. Shari's services are worth every penny for her expertise navigating the Dependency Proceedings and she does not sugar coat anything which is very much appreciated by the client. Our case has been closed for several months now and I will continue to refer Shari to anyone in need of a great Dependency attorney. My nephews are thriving and supported, doing wonderful in school and involved in activities of their choice. It will be great to have the whole family together for the upcoming holidays and I have Shari (and her wonderful paralegal) to thank for putting our family back together!

You want Shari on your side!! She is so awesome,honest, and hardworking! She has taken care of us and our case with great confidence and diligence. Let me tell you she is a bulldog :) and if you need a lawyer that's what you want. Now she is very busy, I mean of course she is, she is a lawyer! What w...ould you expect. She does make sure you are taken care of though and her legal aid Gabby is awesome as well. They make a great team who are on top of the game. Thank you so much Shari for everything you have done for us. You have been a blessing to us you have no idea! By the way I knew I loved her when we first met because she told us a story about how important it was for her to be at all of her nieces games, that she didn't even let her career take that away. How awesome. A human being that knows how important family is and what is really priceless in life! Toby and Crystal.

My family hired Shari Wilson as a recommendation, as we do not live in Florida but this was a Florida case. She talked a huge game when we first consulted with her. Once she had the initial $5,000 her tune quickly changed. She constantly tried to get us to give in to the opposing side (this was a ...parental rights hearing) she straight out told us she believed opposing side about things they would say and not her own client. Called her client an ass in front of his entire family. When we flew down there for court she tried up until court started to get us to sign away the children to their mother. She is horrible, unprofessional, rude, money hungry and should not be practicing law as she knows nothing about it. Do NOT waste your money here. Our hearing went all day and the attorneys were advised to write written closing arguments and once we flew back to our state she demanded another $5,000 just to write closing arguments. We fired her and just got a public defender who did 100% better job then Shari in a one week time span. If I could give her zero stars I would.

Wasted our time and money here. Talks a good game but that's all she is. She did not know what she was doing. Was late or did not show for court. Made plans to call the judge another day, did not call in. When the judge called her, she did not answer. Did not invoice, needed cash upfront, very money ...hungry would ask for money at every phone call. Would give us one price then charge us something totally different. We did the work ourselves. We had an easy truancy case, she tried to turn this into a big trial wanting to drag it out call in a jury, doctors, therapist. She is an awful attorney, she is nothing without her paralegal, that's who does everything and covers for her.
