About Sharon
Biography
I'm Sharon J. Brunner, an attorney with over 20 years of experience representing individuals and families through some of life's most difficult challenges. My practice focuses on family law, where I guide clients through divorces, custody disputes, and other sensitive matters with compassion and clarity.
In addition to family law, I represent victims in wrongful death and police misconduct cases, including police shootings and in-custody deaths. These cases require strength, strategy, and a deep commitment to justice - qualities I bring to every client relationship.
I serve clients across Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, and Los Angeles Counties, and offer phone consultations to make legal guidance more accessible. Whether you're protecting your family or seeking accountability, I'm here to advocate for you with experience, integrity, and care.
