Best Trial Attorney -Must hire

I hired Sharon Scanlan and her firm to represent me in connection with a bad fall I took in a defective parking lot last year. I honestly did not expect that my case could be litigated quickly because of COVID and the Court shutdowns but Sharon and her firm were able to prosecute my case including ge...tting an expert during these tough times. From day one Sharon made me feel at ease and assured me that my rights would be protected. I was so pleasantly surprised when she was able to resolve my case so fast. I recommend Sharon for any case any time.

Spectacular Attorney

Sharon Scanlan was my trial attorney at the firm. I can’t begin to explain how amazing she was. She explained everything to me and fought so hard when I testified and I felt so protected from the defense attorney because Sharon was with me. Best attorney ever ! Even during Covid.

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!

An Excellent trial Attorney

When I was seriously injured in a fall, I hired Sharon Scanlan as my Trial Attorney. She exceeded all of my expectations. It was great watching Sharon work the Courtroom. She is tough in Court but also a kind person. Her vivaciousous personality is a big asset to her intelligence and experience. wa...s so happy with how my case worked out. It exceeded my expectations. I would reccomend Sharon to anyone who has a serious case.

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.
