Sharon makes me feel like she has my back

Sharon Attorney Morris came highly recommended by two of her satisfied clients. From the beginning She made me feel like she had my back the entire time, and that became more evident when i saw her represent me in the courtroom.  Sharon was successful in getting my DUI charge reduced to a wet reckle...ss, and she soon became my go-to attorney.   In a following matter that was very personal, she understood my dilemma. Again she took my matter to heart, and worked tirelessly to get it resolved.  I mean calls and emails after business hours and weekends, and very responsive.  I have never had this type of experience and success with another attorney, or any other trusted professional.  I adore this woman, and trust her implicitly.

Sharon is a tough and smart Lawyer, but not jaded.

I got pulled over and booked for a DUI this year. Never been arrested before, not a pleasant experience. When I first spoke with Sharon I was greatly relieved. I knew that she would do everything in her power to get me the best possible outcome, and she did. She knew that my meager business d...epends on me driving around to clients houses. Not having a car would be really tough. She went to work. For some reason I opted not to take the breathalyzer, so they gave me a blood test. Blood tests are accurate. REALLY accurate. So Sharon laid out a game plan to find something we can work with. After having the blood retested with a result that was about 18% different, and with careful and clever questioning of the officer... we had a great case. Even though the DMV didn't exactly rule in my favor, they treated me favorably, and even though my license was suspended for a short period, I immediately got it back. why? because of Sharon's insistent and kindly prodding over at the DMV. That was above and beyond the call of duty, and she did that for me so I could keep my little business running. The court was a little bit of a different story. Sharon easily got my charge reduced to a wet reckless, bam- done. It took about a 5 minute conversation with the prosecution on her part. I've come to appreciate that when someone makes something look SO easy... that's how you know they're REALLY good. At that point it might be tempting to think you could have done it yourself... but you also realize that 19 years of experience makes them a PRO. I was glad Sharon was on MY team, and not the other team. She was responsive and helpful. I found the legal and technical process with the DMV utterly confounding with incorrect dates and the like. She always patiently helped me through the muck. In the end, I got a great deal. Wet reckless, no breath-lock on car, license returned, I can drive to and from work. Lesson learned. Sharon is a smart and savvy person, who actually genuinely cares. She takes a personal interest in your case, and is armed to the teeth with knowledge and experience. Her detailed approach yielded an excellent result I would not have otherwise gotten.

Efficient, thorough and responsive

Ms. Morris assisted me with securing a Court Ordered Civil Harassment Restraining Order against an acquaintance. In addition to being efficient, thorough, responsive, communicative and caring at every stage of the process, she presented my case to the court in a way that was most favorable to my cas...e. She advised me on appropriate strategy and organized and presented the evidence in a manner whereby all of the facts stacked up in my favor, leading to a positive outcome.

2nd Offense DUI offense, city of El Monte

First of all let me start off by saying, a 7.7 rating does not do her justice and whoever gave her the 1 star terrible review is nuts. No one likes long-drawn-out reviews so I’ll just get to the point. Had I been convicted, this would be my 2nd DUI offense and it would have a pretty big impact in... my life. The suspension alone would have inhabited me to run my business. I was arrested by CHP approximately 1:30 in the morning, for what I was told, driving with a dealer plate or without a plate. I was not driving stupid, not speeding, didn’t run a red light, regardless I was still pulled over for not having a plate. After the stop, the officer asked me if I had been drinking because he smelled alcohol in the car. I admitted to having 2 Long Islands, well long story short, they put me through the whole sobriety test and booked me. After the incident, I immediately stated looking for a good defense lawyer. I felt strongly that the CHP office did not have reasons to pull me over. My first defense lawyer was good, very attentive and walked me through the entire process and kept me well informed of their strategy but he was unable to win the DMV hearing. After losing the hearing the DMV lawyer told me not to give up hope because I do have a pretty good case in the criminal court. He then refereed me to Attorney Sharon Morris. He added, she is an aggressive and sharp criminal defense lawyer and she may be able assist me. My first meeting with Sharon was in her office, she gave me a quick introduction and we briefly went over the case details again. She was starlight forward and honest and told me that my DMV lawyer was right, I do in fact have a pretty good case; however, my chances are 50/50. I decided to take my chance with Sharon because I appreciated her candidness and the fact that she seem to know EXACLTY what to do next. Here I am today, cleared of any DUI charges and DMV suspension. I was in the court room during the trial and I have to say, she was relentless and precise with her questions and really knew how to handle the arresting officer and the DA. Well, Sharon did it; she has won the case for me. I believe she really took this case to heart because I heard the excitement in her voice as if she was the person receiving the non guilty verdict. Let’s not stop here, after winning the criminal case, Sharon went back to the DMV, fought with the DMV and arresting officer again and got my license back. What can I say?! She is one determined lawyer. If you have a DUI or criminal case, I would highly recommend Sharon. It would be your loss if you don’t.

Case Dismissed!

Sharon assisted me in a small, but stressful case over the past year and a half. Today, my case was dismissed....thanks to Sharon! She is easy to work with, very competent and extremely caring. Thank you, Sharon! You ARE the best!
