Probate law questions

Sharon answered the phone and quickly gave us so much pertinent information regarding the questions we had regarding probate without a will. She was very knowledgeable and extremely kind and honest in her assessment of the situation. Do not hesitate to reach out to her!!

Estate planning

Sharon was extremely helpful with a few legal items for my family. We needed Power of Attorneys and a Will done for my father's estate and Sharon was very prompt and detailed in the calls and meetings we had. She also offered assistance in retitling some property. I thought she was knowledgeable and... professional in all our interactions. I will definitely use her services if needed in the future.

I found the assistance I needed

At 7:30pm I called regarding the sale of a family home. I hoped to get a call back from an administrative assistant who might schedule an initial discussion with a legal assistant. I was surprised and pleased to get a call back the same evening from Sharon, herself. Sharon listened, advised, and made... suggestions I found to be immediately helpful. I would recommend you reach out to Sharon with your legal needs. I believe you will benefit from her knowledge and broad expertise, and her care absolutely shines.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
