Excellent Knowledge and Assistance

Sharon has helped me twice now. First time in the adoption of my 2 daughters, This worked beautifully and I then returned for her services to get custody of my granddaughter, Both Mother and Father were involved and Sharon has helped to get this taken care of properly. I got Sharon's name from Child... Protective Services as they highly recommended her abilities.

Fair job done but overly expensive. Be wary of signing her contract.

First off, I liked to say before hiring Sharon as a lawyer, I believe she overcharged me considerably. It cost be over $7000 for a case I believed should of been a lot less. My statement shows I was charged lawyer's fee all the way across. It shows I was not charged once for the paralegal or secretar...y rate on bill statement. I find it hard to believe no one else made a phone call, printed documents, or file any paperwork. Her knowledge of family law was okay at best and I recommend finding someone who will bill you fairly and more knowledgeable.

Military divorce

Sharon handled my divorce which was a miture of military and civil service retirement. She is very apt with fact and especailly understanding money and figures in a complex divorce with a lot of assets. Since most divorces divide money she was right on top of the assets and persued an equal divorce w...ith my executive wife, I feel like I came away from a long marriage with an equal share of assets.

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.
