Terrific attorney

Great for estate planning
I recently worked with Sharon on revising a trust after divorce. Getting a new one is place was relatively time critical. The office staff and Sharon are easy to work with, timely in communication and do a great job. I highly recommend her.

Diligent lawyer
We hired Sharon Jannuzzi to prepare our family trust package for us. She worked hard and did a wonderful job, then followed up with continued interest. To top it all off, Sharon is a nice lady and a joy to work with. We want to keep her as our family attorney.

Attorney

"I endorse this lawyer. Sharon Jannuzzi and I worked together on a difficult trust in litigation before the Reno probate court. She argued the case very well. Her written work was first rate. The judges and other lawyers I know in Reno respect her highly. In 34 years of practice, I have worked with many attorneys--Sharon Jannuzzi is among the very best. I highly recommend her for trust and probate work. Greg Jensen, Reno Attorney"
