WORSE LAWYER !

HORRIBLE LAWYER I have EVER worked with! Very very disrespectful and AWFULLY RUDE guy! NEVER responds to client's concerns. We filed immigration paperwork’s with this lawyer and he DIDN'T care to do anything with it. We contacted sooo many times to follow up and he was flat out rude with us over the ...phone and ignored to take our phone calls too. It took us EIGHT years to get the application finally reviewed by the National Visa Center. I hope the Law review board for Lawyers in Maryland reviews this man's work and practice. I wouldn't recommend this guy to anyone. I hired another lawyer after going through hassle with this Sharma guy! The other lawyer that I hired was AMAZING! Such a great personality and effective interpersonal communication skills. Worked sooo diligently with our case and helped us. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ONKAR N SHARMA to anyone! STAY AWAY from him if you can.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2013.

Commission Reprimand issued in MD, 2013

updated on 12/28/2015

Onkar’s comment:

“In 2013, I received a commission reprimand for failing to appear at a hearing on behalf of my client. However, my representation was terminated. I was not authorized by my client to be at the hearing. A time to motion to withdraw was filed.”

Informal Admonition issued in DC, 2003

updated on 05/24/2012

An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
