Knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate and well educated in her field.

Sharon was a pleasure to work with. The legal system was new and unchartered waters for me and she helped me understand the system, my options and the legal process. She gave me advice and encouraged me to seek education as well as counseling and medical assistance which helped my case tremendously. ...She was firm, compassionate and caring in her interactions with me as well as being honest, trustworthy and thoughtful. She kept me informed of all aspects of my case and was very accessable for questions. I would recommend Sharon Fields to anyone looking for a professional and caring attorney.

Trust

Sharon Fields knows the law. She also has a keen understanding of how the system works. When I came to her with my DUI case and after she went through the evidence there were no extravagent promises. The more honest I was with her the more honesty I recieved in return. She took her time and did not r...ush the process in anyway. I was almost certain to be guilty of a DUI as it had happened to me before in another state some years prior. What happened as a result of her knowledge was a reduced charge of Negligent Driving 1. I cannot thank her enough for the patience and understanding she exhibited throughout. Her being a former prosecuter was no small accomplishment. When the workings of both sides are known the result can be most favorable and in my case it was. Honesty, understanding, and knowlege are Sharon Fields strongest qualities. I am glad I choose her as my lawyer. Robert E.

Review Summary

I would like to say a couple things about Sharon. I had a very positive experience when my son needed a lawyer. She was willing to listen to all we had to say and explain the legal standpoint as it applied to his case. Also, she was availiable most of the time and if not, would call as soon as sh...e could. It was a difficult time for us and I felt like she cared about our situation not just her job.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Sharon as both a prosecutor opposing me in trial as well as now a defense attorney. Sharron is of the highest caliber both personally and professionally. When we were opposing, there was never an ounce of quit in her representation of the State and I see the same tenacity in her private practice representation of individuals."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
