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.

Divorce

I went to Mrs. Sharretts after I had seen her before in another Divorce proceeding that she was on. I came to her and explained my case and she went right to work. She left no stone unturned. She requested document after document and questions after questions for me to explain. I felt so confident af...ter all we went through even after being overwhelmed.

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.

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.

Loyal, Hard working, Trustworthy and goes Over and Beyond!!!!

I have been very impressed with Toni’s hard work and professional skills. She is an excellent attorney and would be a fine choice for anyone who needs work in her area of expertise. She is truly loyal towards her clients!!!! She has great payment plans and they are affordable!! I had 5 attorneys in t...he past and none of them were as good as her. If you hire her as your attorney, she'll fight until you win the case. She goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that every customer is 100% satisfied. There is no other attorney better than Toni!!! I am extremely satisfied with her hard work!!!

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."
