Sharon helped keep my high-conflict divorce out of court when we fell out of mediation. She answered all of my questions thoroughly and returned my calls and emails promptly.

Sharon is an amazing attorney who put me at ease during a difficult divorce. She alleviated much of the stress of dealing with my spouses attorney. By the way she handled setbacks and utilized her knowledge of the law to allow me to feel as if I had options.

I was referred to Sharon through Emily Doskow and was happy to find a lawyer willing to work with my unusual divorce case. Getting married in another country is usually a union supported here in the California legal system, however the intricacies of same sex unions abroad require research and tenac...ity. As differing nations have different laws in place that are changing rapidly, my ex-spouse decided to contest the divorce on the basis that it wasn't a real marriage. Sharon conducted research that I could present in court to the judge saying that this was not so, and although the proceedings have yet to conclude I have a much stronger, cleaner case for it. I felt that she is on my side and wants to see the case through even when things get tricky; her amiability is one of her strongest assets and I appreciate her straightforwardness. Working with Sharon gave me enough experience in the matter that when my savings dried up and I could longer afford a lawyer, I had enough of a footing to stand on my own, which is not an easy thing to do in the California Family Law system. I am grateful to have been able to work with her.

I went to Sharon with a very personal problem that caused me immense stress and anxiety. She made me feel comfortable immediately. She had a lot of patience with me as I went back and forth through the separation and divorce process. I messaged Sharon often and she always replied to me, answering all... my questions and making me feel at ease. Sharon made things go easier than I had anticipated and her thoughtful guidance was truly appreciated. She was always just a phone call away when she did not need to be. In spite of her very demanding schedule, Sharon still came to court on my behalf even when I was too ill to show up for myself. Sharon is a fighter and very knowledgeable of the law and worked hard to win my case for me....a HUGE relief. Even if I hadn't worked things out with my husband, I would still recommend her to anyone that needs a lawyer. Thank you Sharon!!!
