Sharon Rachel Vinick

Sharon was one of three lawyers referred to me regarding a termination from a Silicon Valley job. I believed there was age discrimination and sexual harassment issues. Sharon was referred to me by two distinguished employment law school professors. Sharon listened intently to my claims, she did no...t dissuade me from sharing the opinions I had received from my legal friends and she crafted a strategy and goal immediately. When the other side tried to throw cold water on our claims and my credibility, Sharon stood by me and asked for more details or to fill in blanks that helped support our position. Like any negotiation, we asked for x and were both very happy with the settlement that everyone agreed upon. Without hesitation I would recommend Sharon and her firm.

When I was sexually harassed at work by someone in a position of great power, I didn’t feel fully protected by human resources, so I decided to seek legal counsel. Thankfully, I was referred by a friend to contact Sharon. This was the first time I've ever had to contact a lawyer. I reached out vi...a email and didn’t expect to hear back so soon. When you’re in a battle, time is of the essence and Sharon understands this. Her response time was so incredibly fast. Over a series of emails and phone calls, Sharon counseled and coached me every step of the way throughout the long, dismal, drawn out process with HR. Sharon was able to help me get everything I needed and wanted from my employer without having to go to court. The result was a creative solution that I am very pleased with. Before Sharon, I was completely consumed by anxiety, hopelessness, and anger. Sharon turned all of that around for me. She gave me the gift of peace and empowerment during one of the darkest times of my life. If I come across anyone seeking legal counsel for work matters, I will ALWAYS refer them to Sharon. Trust me, you want her on your team. She is a force to be reckoned with.

Sharon is smart, compassionate and knows the law inside and out. I hired Sharon to deal with a wrongful termination, sexual harassment and retaliation experience. She explained my options clearly, got me a good settlement and communicated with me throughout the process in a clear and thoughtful manne...r. She also helped me navigate this incredibly difficult experience with self-less advice that was aimed at helping my longterm career and saving me time instead of trying to bill her hours. Since then she has helped me on a couple other occasions answering questions and giving me advice on issues I've had with another employer, which she did at no cost!
