Highly recommended

Having to deal with a school regarding your child is very stressful. You know your child deserves more than they are getting. Every suggestion I have been given, as been a help. Jackie and Sharon are extremely knowledgeable and know what to do. They fight for child at every turn.

Honest, Fair, & Always has your kids best interest at the center or it all!

No one sets out on he wedding day thinking I'm going to get a divorce someday. Sometimes the inevitable happens though and that day does happen. When I reached that day in my own life, my #1 concern was that my son was effected as little as possible and his best interest was put first. I intervi...ewed several attorneys before meeting Sharon Ramage. After meeting with Sharon I knew she beyond fit the bill. Her background in Social Work gives her the background to have your kids interest covered. Our divorce was very amicable and other than a few things my ex and I agreed on all points, because of this Sharon offered to handle the entire divorce. This not only saved us thousands of dollars, but allowed us to fast track a lot of the process. Since I hired her, she couldn't give my ex advice on anything but would send & submit things for both of us. Her office staff is just as amazing. I worked closely with McKenna & Betsy on several occasions and they were just as wonderful. So if you do find yourself in need of legal counsel for you family matter, I can't think of anyone more qualified than Sharon Ramage. I wish you all the best!

Custody

Recently hired Sharon to help me in a battle for custody of my son. My situation was complex to say the least but from the beginning she provided me with nothing but confidence, reassurance and truth. I think the best quality is her ability to express to you blunty where you too, are at fault as much... as it can feel like a hard reality in the midst of a struggle it is calming and easier to approach the courtroom with your eyes open to every aspect behind it, especially in a case that is not only involving yourself but the well being of your child. Highly recommend her. Not to mention Betsy Ober is always right beside Sharon they mesh well to put you at ease before, during and after your hearing.

Top Notch Special Education Attorney

Our child was struggling in a school district whose methods did not meet her special needs, which consistently set her up for failure. After years of beating our heads against the wall in an attempt to get a FAPE for her due to improper discipline techniques, not following the IEP, improper placement..., etc. we were left with no choice but to seek legal representation. From the first conversation with her, it was apparent that Sharon Ramage knows Sp.Ed. law. She represented us on behalf of our child in Due Process proceedings. She is very matter of fact and honest about what to expect, and is a highly skilled advocate for Sp.Ed. children. She kept us apprised of the proceedings every step of the way, was forthright in what we were and were not allowed to request, and was able to ultimately and satisfactorily settle the cases for us--but most importantly for our child who is now receiving the education she needed and deserves in an appropriate setting thanks to Sharon's commitment to seeing that she is fairly served in her education.

High-Conflict Family Law - Special Needs

I retained Sharon Ramage for an extremely high-conflict family law case that concerend a child with Special Needs. The litigation was lengthy and involved complex dynamics that required an attorney who knew the law and how to apply it. She was methodical in her approach and always proactive. Through...out this drawn out conflict, I found Sharon to be extremely intelligent, capable, responsive, caring, tireless, resourceful and most of all steadfast in her resolve to see the litigation through to a favorable outcome. If you find yourself in need of a competent attorney, I would not hesitate to recommend the Law Practice of Sharon Ramage.
