Amazing Lawyer,Thank You So Much

My man got himself in quite a jam which resulted in him being charged with a 1st degree felony. It was a very scary situation,but over the course of a few months she worked with the prosecutors and got his charge reduced to a state jail felony,time served. Which was the best offer he could've got,he ...should be released in 2-12 days and me&my man's family could not be more happier/thankful.She definitely knows what she is doing&does not stop until the job is done. I would definitely recommend her if you need a smart,hardworking lawyer. On behalf of me,and his family,Thank you so much Toni!

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.

THE PERFECT LAWYER

I have worked with several attorneys but the best attorney out of all is Toni Sharretts! A divorce is not a great process for anyone. This was the most difficult time for me to go through. I had many issues to go through and needed much help. Toni was amazing she held it together for me. She had ev...erything under control and guided me through every challenge we came across. I was very impressed how she handled my case, she was very knowledgeable, professional and under control at all times, which I have much respect for. During my case I have not received much cooperation from my ex, we couldn’t come to any terms in regards to a settlement. We end up in court in front of the judge to decide. This is the time when you need the best lawyer on your side to represent your case and get as much as you can. Since I was the bread winner and worked for everything we had, I was very nervous of loosing what I worked for. Well that wasn’t the case I was going to settle to terms I was comfortable with and at the end I received more than what I hoped for. Toni was amazing. I definitely would recommend Toni Thank you Toni for everything you have done!!

Knows what she is doing!

Worked with her on my sisters divorce case. Previously had three other attorneys that did not meet expectation, but Toni was exceptional. She is very knowledgeable about the laws and the court system in general. Has a very good conscience; not just in it for the money.

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.

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."

Family lawyer | Apr 01

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."
