Sharon M Hollister

By far the best attorney I could have asked for. Being in a position of having to hire a Family law attorney was bad enough while trying to fight for custody of my boys. The last thing I wanted to do was hire an attorney who treated me like a paycheck and not a human being, when the custody of my chi...ldren were on the line . Sharon would come to the office anytime needed to work on my case. She would come evenings, and weekends in order to make sure she was thorough and doing everything she could to help me. I was in a very bitter custody battle that was very complex and I was completely overwhelmed. Sharon was able to prove my case and due to her dedicated attitude and determination I was given custody in court. Sharon believed in my innocence, fought for my freedom and the truth. I am beyond grateful I hired an attorney with not only a long history practicing law, who is thorough, smart, and dedicated to her clients. I would strongly recommend her for any family law matter. If your facing a complex custody, or divorce matter and want an experienced, devoted attorney then Sharon is the attorney for you!

Just know if you are considering her. Sharon goes through staff like underwear. she can't keep anyone in there long. Sharon screams yells and cusses at her staff right in front of clients. It is so very awkward. If you are her client, there is a likely chance that her anger, hate, and narcissism-li...ke behavior will spill over to you. I was screamed, yelled and cussed at by sharon on many of her "off" days. Sharon will go crazy over no provocation at all. She will charge you to sit and talk about fruit , nuts and vegetables. She will answer other calls, talk to her daughters on the phone, talk to her maintenence man on the phone, all on your time and you will be charged for it. Sharon charged me when I went into her office just to make a payment! You won't get billing statements, you will only hear about what you owe her when doing and income and expense report for a court date. When I finally saw a bill after she submitted it to the court, I called her legal clerk and complained. The legal clerk at the time stated that "clients call and complain about this all the time". Sharon worked for/in a law office where the legal clerk was convicted of felonies/felony. The legal clerk became an attorney and practices law in Placer county. This felony convicted attorney was my ex husbands attorney and sharon told me all about this guy being convicted of a felony. She told me to go get the file, copy it etc....which I did at my personal expense. Now, I am being charged (according to Sharon) $100,000.00 for being a pawn for her. I exposed this attorney, which helped sharon with her other cases against him, and I am being charged for ME going to the criminal court, getting papers, copying them, etc....... .I had to take a week off work the week before my last divorce trial to assist running around, getting papers, filing things etc... (which i didn't mind) because another one of Sharons legal clerks had quit. I have never received the bill for that. I am almost certain now that I will be charged for ME doing all my own filing , running around and gathering info. Sharon tells you that "you save yourself money by doing things on your own case". That is bull. You will get billed as if she had someone else doing your errands on your case even thought you did it yourself!!! Finally on the day of my last trial, I was coerced by Sharon to accept a "settlement" from my ex husband. Sharon led me to believe that i was going to get the settlement money so my daughter and I could move out of a mouse infested diseased house.

Mrs Huddle, Has been very knowledgeable and has represented me in many cases over the past 14 years she has acted as my council.In my professional business I have had many attorneys involved in matters involving my personal life as well as businesses She has never given me bad advise over the years a...nd has been successful in her represention of me.In my past I can not say that about most attorneys in fact most other attorneys gave me bad or incorrect advise along with large bills. Oh yes Mrs Huddle will bill you but I have found her billing to be true and not over stated I can not say that about the other attorneys who have represented me in the past. Remember you'll get great represention and a reasonable bill. You'll get what you pay for with Sharon. The main thing is she's a fighter who never gives up and she will always tell you the truth even if it hurts and you don't want to hear it.
