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.

Extremely Competent and Caring

A good friend highly recommended Sharon to me regarding my sister's wrongful conviction for murder which is twelve years old. Wrongful convictions are some of the most difficult cases to handle and many attorneys won't deal with them as they are SO difficult and the odds are so stacked against anyone.... I also told Sharon early into our conversation I'd run out of money a while back so I think it was pretty clear to Sharon from the start she wouldn't be getting paid for her time and that my sister's case was not only extremely difficult, but fairly stalled in the system. Nevertheless, Sharon kept asking me questions about the case and clearly looking for something - anything - that might help my sister. I knew there probably weren't any, but Sharon kept looking and trying. This impressed me immensely as clearly Sharon wasn't going to get anything for herself out of continuing to talk to me. I had to end the conversation as my next patient had arrived at my office or Sharon would have kept talking and exploring the possibilities of the case. Even after we hung up, Sharon continued to research the case and review what things had been filed, examined, etc. She spent a great deal of time reviewing and researching the case and trying to help; she emailed me the next day to give me her assessment and conclusions about the things that had been done so far. Unfortunately, my sister's case IS stalled in the system and there really is nowhere to go with it unless new evidence turns up. Sharon is a very kind and caring person and an extremely capable and competent attorney. I feel sure if my sister would have had the benefit of someone of Sharon's caliber and expertise during her trial, she never would have suffered the injustice she did and she would be a free woman today.

This is a trustworthy lawyer

After calling Sharon's office for a consult, I received a return call within 90 minutes. She was attentive and showed genuine concern for the charges in my case. She offered suggestions that might prove to be helpful as this plays out. During my consultation, Sharon asked detailed questions and t...ook notes diligently throughout the interview. She had immediate ideas and saw options for dealing with my situation to provide the best possible outcome. Her paralegal is pleasant and accessible. So far, my experience with Sharon Beth Morris has been outstanding. Her knowledge of Title 17 and issues surrounding DUI charges is extensive and her approach is direct and comforting. I am pleased with her representation and would recommend this lawyer.
