Sharon Jean Blackford

I was given a fixed fee for the proposed service and expected, as usual, to get minimum service after the check was cashed. Sharon spent time to speak with me at length, respond to emails and get a grasp of my case by reviewing thousands of pages of documents. She persevered through my emotional requests to prepare logical and precise court documents that endeavored to neutralize the dramatic posturing of the opposing lawyer. Sharon advised on how she understood the court to work. I know that the courts are not fair and the judges are not insightful while Sharon understands the procedures to help mitigate this unfairness. I used Sharon to appeal an impossible divorce financial settlement. Legal repercussions of a separation coupled with a debilitating injuries from an accident had left me without sufficient funds to defend myself. The dramatic and unscrupulous lawyer of my childless former spouse then prevailed in winning a settlement that exceeded my income, leaving me unable to provide for myself, my parents and my children. Other lawyers have either overcharged me or provided barely any service after being paid up front, or have been inexpensive but young, inept and entirely useless. I write this while my case is ongoing, and the courts may yet burden me with an impossible settlement, but Sharon is providing value for her fees. This case is really a life or death situation for me and my family, and I have trusted Sharon with pulling me out of a hopeless pit.

Sharon Blackford is an exceptional family legal expert as well as being an excellent criminal defense attorney. She has demonstrated exceptional care and consideration for her clients. She is pragmatic and efficient in her approach. She's keep the goal in focus and minimizes drama. It is no surprise to me that Sharon has gone on to create the first online legal service - she's always been to embrace new technologies in order to bring the costs down. One hopes to never need a family or criminal defense lawyer but if I needed such services again I would not hesitate to hire Ms. Blackford.

I am a lawyer who was a client of Sharon Blackford. Sharon wrote and researched a family law motion for me. The issue was a difficult family law matter, and Sharon did a great job. She used her time efficiently and well, she worked within a budget, and is so knowledgeable that she was able to put together a strategy that was the best one available to me. Ms. Blackford is an excellent writer and researcher, as well as being an excellent advocate. She was prompt and communicated regularly with me. I highly recommend her.

Sharon shepherded me through a moderately contentious almost-three-year separation and divorce with multiple flashpoints. She was always responsive and engaged, and provided what was needed (which was, alas, often providing opposing counsel with information he was not getting from his own client.) I greatly appreciated her assistance and would recommend her to anyone.
