Super Fabulous Attorney !!

I just had a 3 week trial in NYC against a major food chain. They did every trick in the book to delay the case and deny they were at fault. But luckily my trial attorney was Sharon Scanlan! Sharon will fight for you no matter what and will be there for you every step of the way until you receive a...n awesome verdict ! She is a go getter and is like having a sister that protects you but also knows the law so much that she is amazing in court!! I was so blessed to have Sharon on my case we won !!

Magnificent Lawyer !

I was seriously hurt by a drunk driver in Queens in 2023. Most cases take 4-5 years to go to court and mine was done so fast by my attorney Sharon Scanlan. She was magnificent! She called me all the time and prepared me for Court and we won our case BIG! I will never forget this experience. It suck...ed to be in a horrible crash but having Sharon as my trial attorney was heaven.

Top Notch Attorney

I had a bad fall on ice requiring surgery a year ago and my landlord did not take responsibility for not removing the ice in the parking lot. I hired Sharon Scanlan from Finkestein/Jacoby and she saved the day! Gosh she took on my corporate landlord and kicked butt on trial to get me a big settlement.... I am so so grateful.

Advocate For Justice

I had a case against NYS because I had a terrible fall with injuries. It is very hard to bring an injury case against the State. Thank God my attorney was Sharon Scanlan! She did an incredible job on the trial and we won! These are the words I would use to describe Sharon: Patient, Fierce, Classy..., Very Knowledgeable. I could not have asked for a better attorney than Sharon. None exists !

Avvo Rating

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.
