Experienced and Professional Attorney

I could not be happier with the services I received from Sharon Watson. She is extremely efficient and professional. She was responsive to my phone calls and emails and always available to answer questions. I highly recommend her for any family or criminal law matter.

Unethical

I paid Sharon a $5,000 retainer knowing that it was a "non-refundable: retainer, She took my money and went on vacation the next day. I could not reach her, I had several legal questions, and ended up listening to a non lawyer and dismissed my case. She did nothing for the retainer and although ther...e must be what is called "consideration" for a contract to be legal, she refused to return any of the money. Shortly thereafter, I decided to pursue the divorce; Sharon refused to represent me even though she still had my money. My guess is that she waited for some sucker to giver her the vacation money she needed and she no longer had the money to repay me. I know you may say, well it was non-refundable" and I would agree with you if she had a) done anything for the money and b) been reachable. Not only did she keep my retainer for doing absolutely nothing, she refused to provide counsel after she kept my money. Buyer Beware.

"My first introduction to Sharon Watson was as an opposing counsel on one of my case. It was very contentious between the parties. Sharon and I remained extremely professional towards one another and just stuck to the facts of the case. I appreciate her being able to defend her client's position while remaining respectful during disagreements. Through her professionalism, she gained my respect. I endors this attorney."
