Jose rodriguez

I was referred to ms. Cosgrove by my good friend who highly recommended her. I had 2 felonies and a misdemeanor. My offer was 16 months prison before I hired her! She made me feel so much better after talking to her. She always took my phone calls at any time ofvthe day, and even gave me her cell ph...one # ! She fought and fought on my behalf until most of the charges were dropped, most important, the felony. Sharon Cosgrove really cares about her clients. I highly recommend her!

I want my money back

She seemed good. But after I paid her she acted so quick to get my case over with. She was always late, the latest lawyer and I felt like an ass waiting hours for her to show up. I could've got a better deal on my own. I don't recommend her. I asked questions about the DMV and other questions she sho...uld know. She was wrong about all of them. I don't think she knows as much as she thinks she does.

You just can't please some people. This person was driving with a very high BAC with her children in the car, and got into an accident, injuring the other party. After hours and hours of work on her case, we were able to settle it without any jail time. She was quite happy at the time.

Navigating the roller coaster of our legal system

I contacted Sharon about 8 months ago concerning a misdemeanor charge from the Riverside DA office. I was moving through a divorce and starting a new life in a different state so this charge took me by surprise and placed me on a roller coaster that i knew was to much to handle by myself. Sharon li...stened to my story and thought she could get me out of this with only an infraction. Needless to say, a new DA reviewed it and new information was given by an ex spouse which moved it to a felony. Sharon again pushed ahead to find out why and stress the facts of my charge along with my clean background (never a charge) and the circumstances surrounding the event I was being charged for. All ended well with all charges being dropped and my having to enroll in a DEJ class which led to a dismissal.

Saved me from going to prison!

This attorney went above and beyond the scope of her duties for me. I was facing 7 years in prison for 3 felony drug cases (2 while out on bond). She worked hand in hand with a rehabilitation center and the drug court to get me into a program that I wasn't even eligible for due to the severity of my ...crimes. The DA wanted prison, the probation department said I wasn't eligible, but Sharon fought for me, reached out to multiple rehab centers and was able to create an acceptable direction which the court accepted as an alternative sentence!!! No jail time, only 120 days community service!!! Thank you so very much Sharon for getting me a second chance at life!

Top Of The Line Attorney

Sharon was my lawyer for 2 DUIs. One was a felony in which there was injuries. She was instrumental in convincing the court to let me enter rehab for alcohol abuse. I am sure it was a life saving decision. Sharon was always there for me and always followed thru with any problems that arose. I h...ighly recommend her to any person needing an attorney. Not only was she my attorney, but to this day, she is my friend and we stay in touch. Thank You Sharon!
