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.

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. Sharon was referred to me by a friend when I was employed by a small hospital practice that was being acquired by a large conglomerate. I was pregnant at the time...
"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."
