Girl Power All The Way

Sharon walked me through the suit from beginning to end. She fought hard every step of the way for me. Sharon also answered all my questions and provided me with answers to things I had not thought of. Sher strength and guidance were invaluable.

Best Female Lawyer in Court!

When I got assigned Sharon Scanlan as my trial attorney I was not sure she would know my construction field of welding where i got hurt - but she knew everything about safety on the jobsite and grilled the other side at their depositions! She kicked butt and we won our case. Thank you Miss Scanlan !...!

Outstanding Attorney in Personal Injury Lawsuit

Sharon Scanlan recently represented our family in a personal injury lawsuit related to accidental injuries sustained in an automobile accident by our deceased father. She is a truly savvy negotiator and was able to leverage decades of invaluable experience to resolve the lawsuit with a favorable out...come and without going to trial. We are hard working people as was our father and Sharon's herculean efforts and willingness to pull out all the stops and fight tough on our behalf meant the world to us. Our father never knew Sharon but he had a saying and it so applied here - "all she did was just work her tail off." Having Sharon on our side did feel like an incredible gift. I cannot overstate what a difference it makes to have an attorney who takes the time to get to know your family and understands how important to prepare all of you for all phases of a lawsuit. We felt so personally cared for and it made such a tragic set of circumstances somewhat bearable. All in all, it was as positive an experience as can be expected in light of the huge loss sustained by our family. And while we didn't necessarily expect it, the experience brought our family closer together and most importantly, brought closure to our widowed mother. We are forever indebted to Sharon and her firm for looking after us in the aftermath of a tragedy. In retrospect, she was instrumental in keeping our family focused and united in a worthy goal which honored our father in the best way possible.

I needed the Best and Got it !

I hired Sharon’s firm because my father was killed in an accident at work. It was the worst time in my life and my attorney Sharon Scanlan was there for me. She never bothered me with little things - she knew when to give me time to myself . She worked so hard on my Dad’s case even when his cowork...ers tried to change the story of how the accident happened. She showed that they were not truthful. Thank you Miss Sharon for being the best ! You helped me and my family tremendously with a huge win on our case!

The Best!

My girl Sharon Scanlan is the best trial attorney in Manhattan! I sued the City of New York and they fought so hard to dismiss my case but I had Sharon so I had the upper hand. Justice was served . Thank you Miss Sharon !
