Women for Wendy

Sharon Scanlan represented my disabled, blind sister in a personal injury suit. In spite of many delays due to a fugitive cab driver, bankruptcy claims and finally COVID, the case finally yielded success. Sharons tenacity, patience and compassion for the disenfranchised was the driving factor behind ...my sister receiving full compensation.

The Consumate Attorney

While on a family day picnic, just prior to COVID-19, my husband and I were in a five-vehicle accident where we both sustained serious injuries. The best thing that happened to us was Sharon Ann Scanlan of Jacoby & Meyers. She is kind, compassionate and tenacious. She fought for us and was very succe...ssful in getting us a fair deal. We love her!

Excellent Personal Injury Representation

Sharon Scanlan is an excellent Trial Attorney who knows the law well. I could not have asked for better representation in my personal injury lawsuit. Working with Sharon was incredibly easy and the least stressful part of a very difficult and painful event in my life. I was amazed at her insight in h...andling a complex case and grateful for her aggressive approach. Sharon is professional, honest and a knowledgeable Trial Attorney. She explained everything very clearly to me and helped me fully understand the process of my case and what my likely outcomes were. Without hesitation I give Sharon Scanlan my highest recommendation and that you can take comfort in knowing if you retain Sharon for your legal needs, you will have hired the very best!

Fantastic Trial Attorney

I was so fortunate to have Sharon Scanlan from Finkelstein & Partners as my trial attorney. I had a bad fall at a restaurant on a defective step and shattered my leg. If it were not for Sharon I would never have won my case. She was a tiger in the Courtroom but was also so compassionate. If I ever ...again need a lawyer I would hire Sharon Scanlan. Simply the Best !!

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.
