Cut throat, compassionate lawyer you need!

Sharon Cosgrove has gone above and beyond my expectations for my case. I was facing a year in jail for two DUI’s, In sheer terror for my future. Thanks to her dedication and passion she continually exhibits in her career, I am jail free and on the path to a successful future. I am forever grateful an...d would highly recommend to anyone, you will not be disappointed. You will feel valued and safe with her, even if you are at your lowest point.

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!

Sharon got my 14 felonies dropped and got my bail reduced.

I met with about 6 different attorney's to be sure i chose the right one. I met with Sharon at her office and went over my case, she gave me the worst case and best case scenarios and made sure i understood my options. I felt very comfortable with her right from the get go. Communication was great, ...Sharon was in constant contact letting me know any information she got. Her overall confidence made me feel a lot more comfortable about my situation as i was facing 14 felonies and was stressed out beyond words can describe. As we started court hearings Sharon was always on time and made things as easy as they can possible can be, We would go over things before going in and would let me know what was going to happen as i have never been in trouble before. On our third felony settlement conference and told me DA wanted to give me a felony but she knew that one i didn't deserve to get one let alone 14. Originally she was saying worst case we would get a misdemeanor, She did more research and found that i was not at fault per a new bill that was passed. She talked more with the judge and DA and got all 14 felonies dropped and fines dropped. Prior to all this i had gotten a speeding ticket and she also took care of that cause she had sympathy as she saw i was another victim to the crooked system and getting taken advantage of. I felt protected while my future was in her hands as to what outcome we were to get. Sharon talked to my bail bondsman and got half of my bail dropped. I have no idea how but, she went above and beyond the call of duty. I was more than impressed, as i had wondered in the beginning whether i should have saved my money and went with a public defender. with out a question of doubt i know for a fact that things would have gone very differently had i done so. I know that without a doubt Sharon was worth every penny! She also gave me a great deal to boot. Very fair priced. I sure hope i don't ever have to use her again, but if i did i would be calling her as soon as i could to rehire her again. I would recommend her to any family member or friend in need. Hands down a very hard working attorney. If you can afford a lawyer hire Sharon Cosgrove.

Best EVER!

Very responsive, personable, and the positive attitude that she has really makes you feel comfortable. All cases are different however, I would like to say that out of the 4 Attourneys that I consulted with, she was the nicest and most fair priced. Sharon got both of my cases dropped and off of prob...abltion. I bugged the heck out of her via messages and she always responded extremely respectful and sweet! Hope that I never come across any criminal issues again but if I do she's my Attourney for life. Highly recommend that you contact her ASAP!

Sharon is an exceptionally hard working, & intelligent attorney

I met Ms. Cosgrove over 4 years ago and since day one I ALWAYS felt as though she genuinly had our best interest in mind throughout several court hearings. She won't let you down!
