I have been representing employees in their workplace disputes for more than thirty years. Although I have represented hundreds of workers, I still find it immensely satisfying to help individuals understand their rights in the workplace and to seek justice for those who have been treated illegally by their employers. Whether I am litigating a case on behalf of a janitor who has been sexually assaulted at work, negotiating a settlement for an employee who has been subjected to discrimination, or assisting an executive in negotiating a new employment agreement, I bring a wealth of experience, a practical approach and a sense of deep compassion for my clients to all of my work.

Needing legal advice about 10 years ago, I was referred to Sharon by a trusted friend and I was immediately struck by her supportive nature and directness in offering sound legal advice. Just recently I was, once again, in need of legal assistance and I immediately thought of her. Of course, she di...

Amazing attorney advocate and ally - went the distance to obtain a great result
Sharon Vinick and the attorneys at LVBH handled my case with class, tact, expert strategy, and flawless execution. They did not hesitate to take, and win, an appellate writ to force the hand of my former employer/insurance company. They did not blink when my former employer threw stones at mediatio...

Amazing experience with Sharon Vinivk...again and again
I am a pediatrician. At several times over the last 10+ years I have found myself in need of advice from an experienced employment lawyer.

Blurred lines
When I contacted Sharon's office, I was a bit apprehensive sharing my story, since I was a dancer and not sure how it would be received. I worried that maybe I would’ve been told that despite the countless illegal violations, including racism, harassment, and multiple labor law violations, it wouldn’...
"Sharon is an excellent attorney. She is a zealous advocate who shows incredible integrity in everything she does."
"I have worked with Sharon Vinick litigating cases for over a decade. Sharon is one of the most incredible attorneys and people I have encountered. Her litigation prowess and industry knowledge is robust and deep. She is empathetic, and able to serve a wide range of clients expertly. Sharon is always many steps ahead of the game. Anyone who works with Sharon either as a client or co-counsel is very fortunate indeed!"
"To say that I endorse Sharon Vinick is the understatement of the century. For going on 15 years I have been lucky enough to be her law partner, and there has not been a day when I have not benefited from her as a thought partner, a strategic partner and a business partner. Her skills in negotiation, litigaiton and trial are exceptional. Our co-counsel rave about working with her, which is not surprising since her generosity as a colleague is unparalleled."
