She kept me sane as we cleared the title to my property and during the sale of the property

Toni was right there when I needed her on my first call. She spent a ton of time with me over a period of weeks, both on the phone and via emails. I had property to sell in Cleveland, Texas but I live on the other side of the USA, and my partner had died. I had to clear the title, and it was a me...ss as there was no probated will. She taught me all about the laws and really got me through the mess I was in. She kept me sane when I thought I'd go nuts. We were able to clear the title and sell the property, closing with no problems. If you need a realtor or a real estate lawyer in that part of Texas that she serves, you can't do better. She is full of energy, experience and knowledge. I'm so lucky to have found her.

above and beyond

I had the privilege to obtain Toni as my lawyer because of a felony possession charge I picked up while changing planes at Bush international airport. The charge and potential punishment for which is quite Sevier in such a case. I have had a history of back pain and back pain management with the use... of prescription pain killers. While I was visiting family in Colombia, I bought over the counter pain medication which would require a prescription here in the States at a great discount. The problem with this is that by doing so and then flying back home I got myself in a bit of a jam. Toni went above and beyond in explaining my case and in assisting me while I was in Houston far from my home in Oregon. I am currently on differed judication and currently on track for early release from my probation after which my conviction will be removed and I can go back to being a first class citizen again. Toni has been in there for since the beginning of all this and since we're almost done, possibly this week, I wanted to post this review on her behalf. I can't thank Toni enough. I hope this will help others in obtaining a first class attorney for them selves. I'm sure glad I had Toni (ice attorney ) for my case.

She will fight until her clients get justice!!!!!!!!!

Toni took my case after 3 other previous attorneys messed it up and charged me a fortune. She explained the law and how it applied to my case. None of my other expensive attorneys even cared about me or my case, they just wanted my money and to settle at mediation (telling me that was best when I kne...w it was not best to let a horrible man get away with the things he had done). Toni told me we MUST go to trial so my estranged husband would not get away with assaulting me, abandoning me, not working a day and then taking 1/2 my property and almost all of my income. Toni explained how trial worked, talked to me as well as my witnesses. She even made sure I had interpreters for some of my witnesses so they would be more comfortable testifying in their first language. She was understanding when I did not always get the right things to her at first as quickly as she needed them. She said the only way to get satisfaction when the other side is bullying you and you need justice is to go to trial. She is very, very good in trial and makes the other attorneys angry because she shows them up and the Judge ruled in our favor. She also was aware of my financial constraints during the divorce and worked with me on payment. Finally I have someone who helped me.

Best lawyer in Texas!

Ms. Sharretts handled my case in a very professional and prompt manner. She was very knowledgeable, and showed that she cared about taking care of the issue at hand as quickly as possible. Ms. Sharretts was very much on top of things, she reminded me when we had court, and when paperwork was due. Ov...erall Ms. Sharretts is a very kind, smart lawyer, If anyone needs a lawyer she is the one to go to! She is my go to lawyer if I ever need anything again.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

Toni is the best lawyer that I’ve ever had!!! She is hardworking, knowledgeable and loyal. I had many attorneys in the past and they are all about the money. She contacts her client through emails and she responds quickly through emails. She will fight to win the case!!! I can’t even imagine what si...tuation I would be right now without her. Words cannot describe how wonderful she is. I highly recommend Toni as the best attorney.

Litigation lawyer | Jan 17

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Do not let her quiet demeanor fool you, because this lawyer is a fighter well versed in the law who gives no quarter. Understated and soft spoken, opponents learn quickly she has the skills and persuasion to win her argument."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer.without hesitation. I have been practicing for over 30 years and I have seldom encountered the level of professionalism displayed by Toni Sharretts in what was a very difficult matter. She is wise in the practice of law, a rare quality. She is tenacious, up to date on the intricacies of the law, and procedurally very knowledgeable. Her zeal at defending her client's interests is to be commended, but her tempering the zeal with intelligence and understanding of the matter is exceptional."
