Review for Attorney Chris Sharkey

Chris drove out to our house to meet with us at the very beginning. We interviewed him and discussed the case and he gave us his terms , we agreed and we hired him. During the entire 9 different hearing process, Chris was there to consult with. After we received a case dismissal, Chris negotiated ...the minimal requirements needed by the DA's office so there were no fines or time served. Chris could have been better at communication with us during our time working together but he got done what we hired him to do!

"Chris Sharkey is a brilliant attorney. Criminal defense is his specialty. He is who I turn to about the hard cases. Do not ignore his civil litigation skills. Chris is very insightful and will save his clients time and money because he knows what will work and he knows what will simply buy time and cost money. He understands the facts of a case in a short time and will find the best path through. When you are in deep water, you need a shark on your side. Call Chris."
