Excellent Lawyer

We were fortunate to hire Sharon Fields. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She knows how to proceed with a case to get the best outcome. We are very thankful she took this case.

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 deve...lopments ... 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.

A Friend and Ally

I would, without hesitation, recommend Sharon to anyone faced with an event that put them in the hands of legal professionals. I found Sharon by chance and she gave me the most secure feeling throughout the process. She worked with me from across the state, gave me all of the best options and their p...ossible outcomes and negotiated a great deal for me. I am very thankful for her.

My counsel

During my experience in the legal system Sharon guided me through the best avenues that were available. My experience with Sharon was very professional and personal at the same time, I was not just another person to her and she applied her expertise in my case in a manner that made me extremely plea...sed. I do not normally give five star ratings for review but in Sharon's case I feel that it was necessary to the effort that she put forth for me, She went above and beyond to make sure that the outcome that we were pursuing came through and with that I deeply thank her and her office for the hard work that they put in.

Sharon Fields, an excellent choice

I came to Sharon with traffic charges and she agreed to take my case despite it being an unusual case for her. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and always made me feel like her most important client, though I'm certain she had more important cases on her plate at the time. With her help an...d expertise, my charges were dismissed. She kept me well informed and updated during the entire process, and was open about all options and possible outcomes. I would highly recommend her services as attorney and would return to her again for legal advice.

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."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
