Personal Injury

My accident was quite serious and I was very fortunate to have Sharon Scanlan and her personal team on my case for a Tramatic Brain Injury. It was a very serious accident as i was hit by a negligent driver and suffered greatly. Sharon was a serious and expedient attorney, paying close attention to ...me and my case on a weekly/monthly basis. She had extremely smart suggestions for me during the process and STERLING lawyering during the case. She was able to settle it without going to trial and waiting a possible 2 more years for a decision. My settlement was superior and I could not have been happier with her expert professionalism and sensitive nature. Was a fantastic team all around. Especially , all this happening during this crazy time in the economy and health issues. I was blessed to have had them on my side.

Amazing Attorney!!

Sharon recently represented me in my personal injury lawsuit and was able to secure an excellent settlement with a highly favorable outcome without going to trial. Her compassion and dedication were very evident throughout, and I feel incredibly lucky that she was my attorney. Despite the virtual nat...ure of my case due to Covid-19 circumstances and travel restrictions, she handled my case beautifully and ensured that I felt comfortable and well represented throughout the proceedings. I could not have asked for a better experience and a better attorney – she has helped me tremendously and truly went above and beyond! Many thanks, Sharon!

I contacted Sharon after a car accident when it became apparent that I might have permanent damage. She was amazing! She was sympathetic to my pain and suffering yet matter of fact and realistic during our discussions regarding my case. A perfect balance of professionalism! I would recommend Sharon t...o anyone who needed a personal injury lawyer. She's wonderful!

Posted by Claudia | July 31, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Slip and Fall Accident

Settlement! No Trial!

I suffered a violent slip and fall on an icy New York sidewalk. EMS took me to a hospital where I stayed for one week. Underwent Kyphoplasty surgery. Rehab. How lucky was I to have Sharon Scanlan handling my slip/fall case? Very lucky. As a seasoned trial attorney she is fearless. But my case never g...ot to trial and was settled soon after my deposition. Why? Ms. Scanlan did gladiatorial battle against three attorneys while maintaining cool control. Yet played hardball when necessary (which was every five minutes). She was sweet and compassionate and fought my case like a mother lion defends her cub. Professional every step. Waited four years for the case to conclude successfully. Hire this woman.

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.
