BEWARE OF SHARON WILSON

BEWARE OF THIS FALSE ATTORNEY SHARON WILSON, I hired her to represent me with a child custody battle back in 2020. At first she was doing her job and keeping me informed about my case, until Sharon fell off the face of the earth mid April 2021. I must have emailed her 10 times, texted her 10 times..., and called her 10 times. Sharon Wilson doesn’t even have an office, she has an office address but no office they are a front for people who can’t afford an office. Sharon didn’t even give me a contract to sign or anything. Becareful of this so CALLED ATTORNEY. Sharon Wilson is a person that makes you think you have someone good on your side until she has you in her grasps and just falls off the earth and never gets in contact with you again, when you need her most. I was under a lot of stress and anxiety during the periods of time when I could not reach her or receive a call back from her. I finally put in complaint with CAAP for help and they advised me to do a few things. I did them and still Sharon Wilson never reached out to answer me. So then finally I was advised to file a grievance with the TEXAS BAR ASSOCIATION, which I did. They finally got her to respond to me via email and she was really rude to me because I filed a grievance and she had to respond. So after Sharon Wilson released my file to me I went to another attorney for help and told him what a nightmare it was working with Sharon Wilson. His reply was “ you are not the first client that I have had to help because of her ”. He was sorry for all the stress Sharon Wilson put me through. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, BEWARE OF SHARON WILSON ATTORNEY FOR FAMILY LAW. Before you hire this Sharon Wilson for family law look at the Texas Bar association for the complaint against her!

Unresponsive and disinterested

My divorce is now almost a year in and she has been extremely unresponsive and disinterested. I actually went several months without hearing from her. Once my ex hired an attorney to review his paperwork, she changed the type of divorce it was to gain more money. DO NOT USE HER.

suprised at the tanacity she showed under extreem pressure. she went against the #1 lawyer/mayor

I had an emergency hearing where I didn't have an attorney and Sharon was amazing to step in fast! My house burn down and a series if unfortunate events occured such as cancer and my current husband cheating and leaving me. She handked both cases affordably. She was affordable, professional, clear, k...nowledgeable... and made the isssues seem simple... she clarified things in a profound way. SHE BOLDLY STOOD UP AND CALLED THE OPPOSING COUNCIL OUT ON HIS LACK OF INTEGRITY! Who also happened to be the mayor of mckinney in the mckinney court! I WILL BE an advocate of her amazing abilities and in RECOMENDING HER especially if you need to resolve a serious injustice. Sharon may not be perfect but I believe the other review is harsh.

Disappointed and betrayed

At the initial visit I felt confidence in Ms. Wilson, but after having to e-mail her 4 times before getting a response with my first questions, and having to check the Denton County website to see if she did what she was supposed to, I was very concerned. I have not had much experience with attorneys..., and I thought maybe I was just expecting too much. Over a month later, I still had not heard from Ms. Wilson. I had to hear from my ex-husband when the court date was. After attempting to reach Ms. Wilson several times with no success, I went to court alone. Ms. Wilson did not show up to the court hearing, the judge had to call her. This act caused me to lose much more than just money. It was humiliating and hurtful. I am still in shock over the whole situation. I normally would not write a review, but I definitely would not want this to happen to anyone else. I am so disappointed and feel betrayed by Ms. Wilson.
