About Sharon
Biography
I became a personal injury attorney because I love being in a courtroom for trial and I love helping people get compensated when they are harmed by other people’s negligence. I was admitted to the New York and Connecticut Bars in 1988, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern and Southern Districts in 1989, and the United States Supreme Court in 1998. I attended the College of New Rochelle and received a B.A. degree, cum laude, in 1983. I went on to Pace University School of law and received my JD in 1988.

Thorough Excellent Attorney
I had never had a lawsuit before and hired Sharon Scanlan as my trial attorney for a horrible accident I experienced in my life. She proved to be incredibly empathetic and excellent advocate for me and always kept me informed about my case. Excellent Legal Advice
