Negligent driving
Sharon was successful in having my original charge reduced. I do not think I would have had the same success rate without her guidance. She has years of experience and knew what to do.

Sharon Fields review
Sharon Fields will always have a special place in my heart. She is a fantastic lawyer. Sharon is kind and very insightful with outstanding communication skills. Sharon immediately put me at ease and within a day or two visited my son in jail, I was very impressed with Sharon’s energy and hardworking zest, she helped and fought for my son with all she had and she helped me too through this very difficult time. Any time I had to contact Sharon she called me back and emailed me regularly. I would like to mention Sharon Fields office staff are also very helpful and nice too. I can’t imagine a better lawyer then Sharon Fields and she comes highly recommended by me.

Great Lawyer and Excellent Representative
Sharon, got the case from the moment we walked in to talk to her. She communicated well and always returned our calls and questions with answers. She guided us through processes most people don't quite grasp about the law and court procedures. On the stand, she brought out the best facts we had to present with clear practical questions and firmly objected when the cross was going off course and outside the boundary the judge set. Her brief was brilliant, well laid out, and guided any who read it, to what the truthful conclusion is. Her brilliance, confident tone, and presentation won the case!! Awesome Lawyer!!

Sharon saved me me from prison

Very compassionate and very thorough she really cares good person highly recommend to anyone thank you Sharon you're the best!
I was falsely arrested and charged with a crime that I did not do! I was trying to alert the police of criminal activity going on inside of my building and instead the police took the path of least resistance and arrested the upset land owner... myself!! I had no idea something like this could ever happen when I was in the release area of the jail I was very traumatized and Sharon was there that's when I first met her and she was very compassionate towards me. I had my life held hostage for a long time by a sheriffs department that was in the business of making money off of innocent people!! During this time I obviously experienced a lot of emotions high and low and Sharon was there for me... she went the extra mile for me and she didn't have to... she listen to me cry more than she probably should have... she gave her personal time and drove all the way out to my property in the remote woods just to see what I was telling her that I had not broken the law! She even gave me her cell phone number and allowed me to text her... I really felt like she was a friend more than a lawyer and that she really cared about what happened to me and she was willing to do anything she could to make sure that I got my life back! She gave all of her time to me generously and in addition she made all of her resources available to me and responded quickly to all of my concerns. I felt like she set a fair retainer price for me as well and never went above that. Money was never the issue for her I never felt like that was her concern at all and that is rare amongst most lawyers! I want to thank you for everything Sharon and for being there for me at a horrible time in my life and for giving me my life back because it felt like you really cared and you really did everything you could. You're the best and a really good person I am proud to call my beautiful friend!! Xoxoxoxoxoxo

Highly Recommend
I was arrested for a class C felony, I consulted another attorney and he gave me an estimate that seemed pretty high. When the prosecuting attorney filed the charges he charged me with a class B felony, I contacted the attorney I had spoke with and he started telling me how serious the charges were compared to what I was originally arrested for and that the price was DOUBLE for a class B. I thought this guy was full of it so I asked the bail bondsman for his personal recommendation figuring he's in the industry and would know whose the best. He sent me to Sharon Fields and I'm glad I chose her. From the initial consultation she reviewed the details of the case and told me there was a great chance she could get the case completely dropped. Her price including trial was more reasonable than the initial attorneys first quote before he doubled it. She even reduced the price by removing the trial fees initially saying she didn't even think that it would make it that far. She was right! My case got completely dismissed, the prosecutor wanted me to accept a deal but we didn't budge and he ended up completely dismissing my case. Couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Highly recommend, very reasonable.

I love this woman.
I couldn't have found a better lawyer to help me with my case. The end result was more than I had hoped for and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone in need of legal council. She's smart, she's creative, she's honest, up-front and she gets the job done. If you need help in Skagit Valley do yourself a favor and speak with Sharon Fields. Believe me, she is worth every penny and she deserves it.

Outstanding Advocate in Tough Circumstances!!
Sharon was/is an outstanding advocate who 'told it like it is' in a difficult situation. This secured my cooperation to move forward in dealing with the situation. Sharon then laid out a clear game plan with plenty of flexibility to deal with the potential responses of the prosecutor and other developments ... it was a well-thought-out and extremely well-executed strategy. She was calm and direct and kept the process moving forward. As a result, we were able to end up with the best outcome given the original situation. It's not over ... but I have supreme confidence that we are in the best hands and that Sharon will not only follow through but continue to lay out and strive for the best outcome. Toughness, compassion and effectiveness are the words that come to mind in summing up Sharon's role in our case.
