This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Super Appeals attorney....!,,,!!

More than you can imagine. Sharon rocks. Takes the time to go way out of her way to visit her client, no matter how far they are away from Houston. Figures out how they were wrongly convicted or sentenced. Sharon is either extremely intuitive or has legal angels guiding her in her profession. Can't s...ay enough about her. Hire her, or beg the system to have her work your appeal for you. There is justice after all. Thank you Sharon Kiel.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
