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!

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.

Amazing Attorney

My trial attorney Sharon Scanlan was amazing on my case. When we went to Court it seemed that she knew everyone and was really well liked. At my deposition she was really firm with the other lawyer but I was glad because I was really injured. Ms Scanlan Is a kind person and a great lawyer. I would ...trust her with any case my family would have.

Compassionate and caring

Ms. Scanlan did a great job on my case. I was very nervous for the deposition and she took all the time I needed to not only calm me down, but empower me to do a great job. She also did an awesome job in negotiating my case so I got everything I was entitled to without having to go to trial.

Sharon did a fantastic job on my case, getting me more than I ever could have hoped for. She was honest with me, explained things in a way I could grasp, followed through with whatever she’s told me she would do, and tenacious as hell in the court. I am so happy she was my lawyer, and I highly recomm...end her services to anyone looking for representation! Thank you, Sharon, you rock!

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.
