Posted by Stacy | February 06, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Do NOT Hire

Former client here. I hired Ms. Mulyk because I taught her daughter and expected strong advocacy. Instead, my divorce is still not finalized because she moved to withdraw from my case after I had already paid about $25,000 in fees. For that amount, I did not receive a fair or clearly explained settle...ment strategy. On my own, with help from another attorney and an AI tool, I’ve negotiated a better deal than what she pushed me to accept. The maintenance amount she said I “had to” take was almost $400 less per month than what I later calculated using our actual incomes, and I reduced the equity payout on the marital home by about $14,000 compared to the figure she urged me toward. Her communication style made everything worse: emails often felt snarky, passive‑aggressive, and dismissive at a time when my 22‑year marriage was ending and I needed clear guidance and basic empathy. Based on my experience, I would not recommend hiring her.

Many thanks!!

Couldn't give a better review. From the very start, Sharon was the consummate professional. She was very knowledgable in all her answers to my questions and provided the options available and the possible outcomes, yet leaving me to make the choice as I thought best. When push came to shove, she w...orked it out to make a fair settlement and got the job done. All costs were disclosed, nothing hidden. Most importantly, with the stress of a divorce, Sharon and her office made me feel welcomed and like there was truely someone on my side. I would gladly recommend Knobbe, Laho, Gradishar, and Mack (KLGM) to anyone, and already have. Thanks again Sharon to you, your partners and your staff for making one of lifes hardest things a little easier.
