Please do your research!

Personal experience here. If you want to waste $20,000 + in a year, while doing the leg work yourself, have your case shuffled along to 4 DIFFERENT paralegals (2 of which quit during the process) never have your telephonic hearing info until the day before, charged to chase them to file anything, n...othing filed on-time, have the paralegals hint about what a joke it is working there, be left in the dark and get screamed at by Attorney Tate... this is the law firm for you! It’s been a nightmare within a nightmare of divorce. Still married, still paying for a car that’s not mine and had to sign a substitution of attorney because they wanted more money (which I have and using to find new representation) Also, any progress that was made on my case was because of me. Please do yourself a favor and read ALL of the reviews. Shocked this place is still standing. DO YOUR RESEARCH. Most reviews are paid reviews.

Excellent Service

I had to obtain a family law attorney. I interviewed a few and chose the law firm of Sharon L Tate. Daniel Ratajczak was my representative. The firm was very responsive, helpful, guided me through the process, and explained each step and choices.

Sharon and her Team were great with my child custody case.

I obtained Sharon's services for a child custody case that I had previously started. Being a single Dad, I felt like the system was already against me and with Sharon and her teams help, I was proven wrong. Sharon and her team were very diligent, patient and helped me understand everything that was... happening all while making me feel like I had the best team on my side. As a parent you just want what's best for your child and Sharon made sure that we accomplished that without sacrificing our integrity. After the case was closed, Sharon and her staff still fielded any questions or concerns I had without hesitation. I am thankful that I found her and I would highly suggest, Law Office of Sharon L Tate. Thank You Sharon for all your help and patience.

Sharon should be a 10! So Relieved I Found Her!

I am a stay at home mother of 5 children under 9 years of age and needed someone I could trust to handle my matter. Sharon is a mother of 3 and she has been previously divorced and remarried like I was, so right there I knew she could relate to me, I found such comfort knowing that I had an attorn...ey who had gone through a divorce represent me. I found Sharon after I had already hired an Attorney I found on Avvo and have been thoroughly disappointed with his responsiveness, accuracy on my documents and attention to my case, not to mention he was expensive, he took my money and did not hear from him for weeks. I had not been sleeping well for close to a month because of my anxiety. I was seeking a new attorney and had already interviewed 5 other attorneys prior to hiring him and I wish I would of interviewed Sharon in the beginning because it would of saved me a lot of stress and nightmares with my previous attorney. I learned my lesson unfortunately and learned to always go with my gut feeling. Sharon is extremely caring, knowledgeable, upfront, honest, responsive, trustworthy, and extremely fair with her retainers. Some would say blunt but I am the type of person who wants to hear what I need to hear and not what I want to hear, as I would think most would because you are dealing with the law a serious matter, no matter what your case entails. I am an upfront honest person so I was clear with Sharon on what I expected and needed from her and she said she loves clients like me! She relieved so much of my anxiety by being honest and eased my fears. Her staff is extremely professional with many years of experience and that my case would be important. Most of all she is responsive, you will hear from her office within 24 hrs. My last attorney sometimes took a week and I had to call him. Not Sharon, she keeps you informed. And that was huge for me. I needed to feel that even though I had a smaller case that I was just as important to her. I really wanted an attorney that was close in proximity to my home as I knew I would find comfort in knowing I could make an appointment to meet with her or if I needed to drop off documents that it wouldn't be inconvenient for me. Sharon is located in Murrieta and it is very easy to find an get to. Her office is very professional, starting with her legal secretary Tara who is such a sweetie and her two paralegals, I dealt with Joan and she was wonderful. Joan went through the retainer with me line by line and answered any questions I had. I also asked Joan several questions about my case such as what to expect and deadlines, what she needed and such and she was great to talk with. Not at any time did I feel I was bothering anyone, even when I popped into Sharon's office to ask her a few questions that I had forgot to ask in the consultation. I really felt right at home there in her office. I hired her on the spot, I knew I had found my attorney! A huge burden has just been lifted from my shoulders. I can finally sleep well again! Thank you Sharon for being such a caring and honest person.
