I appreciate Sharon so much.

I've dealt with lawyers who really couldn't care less about supporting their clients and Sharon Easley is not one of them. You may not speak with her everyday but you can trust she is on your case. These things take time. Sharon is extremely knowledgeable in her field and will represent you fairly. H...onesty is the best policy. If a client isn't upfront and is hiding stuff, you can bet they won't get a fair deal. I've hired Sharon to represent me and have every confidence that she will be the reason we walk away from our situation victorious. She's easy to speak with and very understanding. Sharon has given me the confidence to believe everything will be alright and I can relax.

First Class, Knowledgeable, Tough, Caring Lawyer!

I have had to hire Sharon to defend me three different times over the last 15 years. It is a great feeling to walk into a bad situation knowing you have the most knowledgeable, honest and caring Lawyer on your side. She is tough and I would never want to be in a situation against her. I never won...dered about the counsel she gave me because I knew, beyond the shadow of doubt, she would hammer and hammer and hammer (hahaha, I have been watching way too much TV). Seriously, without a doubt the best Attorney around. I always knew the advice she gave me was based on her years of experience and with my best interest in mind. Not only did she provide legal counsel she provided counsel on how things would affect my child. If your looking for a Lawyer that you can trust to fight on your behalf you will not find anyone better than her.

Everything you don't want in an attorney

Ms. Easley's representation was so poor that on reflection I wish I had filed a formal complaint with the Texas Judicial Board. With my children's safety and future on the line, and having spent many months carefully preparing supporting documentation for my suit, Ms. Easley failed to enter a single... piece of paper into evidence during trial. She allowed my child to be verbally assaulted by opposing counsel without any attempt to intervene. I was absolutely astonished at her dishonesty (lying to opposing counsel in my presence, then bragging about it to me later), unpreparedness, and unethical practices in general. I would never, ever use her again or recommend her to anyone else.

I do not recognize you as a former client. I do not call children to testify as witnesses and no judge before whom I have tried a case will let a child be questioned in open court except under very extraordinary circumstances. Perhaps, you have mistaken me for another attorney, as I am a strong advocate for the best interest of children and would never sit silent while a child is being verbally abused by anyone, let alone an attorney in a courtroom. If you feel I have failed to meet my duty to you, please let me know personally, as I am not aware of any incident such as you describe.
