An Exemplary Attorney

There are not enough words to express my gratitude to Ms. Scanlan for the legal service and support I received from her throughout an unfortunate accident in Queens back in 2014 . If it were not for Sharon, and the integral legal team of experts at Jacoby & Meyers, I would not be where I am today wi...th my recovery. I highly recommend hiring Jacoby & Meyers should you ever find yourself injured in an accident, and an individual or company needs to be held accountable for their negligence. Thank you Sharon. You are simply the best.

A Passionate Advocate

My trial attorney Sharon Scanlan was “on it”. She represented me with passion and devotion and NEVER GAVE UP on my case against the MTA. Watching her in Cout was amazing. She even helped me after my case was over to deal with access a ride problems. I recccommend Ms Scanlan for any personal injury ca...se.

White Plains Injury

Sharon Scanlan, whenever I was appointed her as my lawyer at first I was sceptical, she was very demanding but ended up being very thorough. She listened carefully and caught discrepensies from the other attorney during trial. She helped me stand up and testify. She was able to capture the jury’s att...ention and conveyed to them opposing council was wrong. She was really excellent in the court and wasn’t afraid to hold them accountable. I’m really glad Elyssa Fried appointed her. She made sure I got more than what the initially offered due to an existing injury. She worked really hard, she even called me on Sundays. She was really kind. I recommend her for any case that has to do with New York State because she is such a go getter.

A Marvel Act

Sharon Scanlan was the attorney for the personal injury case involving my husband and I. The facts surrounding this case seemed to affect our entire family. When you meet Sharon she is friendly with a comfortable approach. You realize immediately that she is knowledgeable and wants the best for h...er clients. Sharon represents her firm well. As the case builds Sharon exhibits great work ethic. There is never a doubt that she is committed to giving her all to successfully representing her clients. As we prepared for trial, Sharon made us feel comfortable and ready. In the courtroom, Sharon conducts herself with the utmost professionalism. It's amazing ... she hears everything that is being said. Sharon is a person of high integrity. Her dedication is unmatched. We highly recommend her!

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.
