Outstanding and Personable Services!

Mr. Sharma provided outstanding services during our recent transaction. He also made sure we understood everything in details.

Well Experienced in Hotel/Motel Field

Mr. Sharma helped me in converting my 82 room hotel from an economy to mid-scale brand. He is well experienced in the Hotel/Motel field and has helped me in the past 15 years with other business negotiations and agreements.

Experienced Attorney

Mr. Sharma has been my family's attorney since we arrived in this country in the early 90's. He helped us through the visa processing, and even helped bring my extended family. He helped me establish my small business, and has given me really good business advice over the years. Now, he is helping m...y family plan my estate and protect our assets when my wife and I are no longer here. In the past 20 years, I have only trusted Mr. Sharma with the legal help I need.

“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.”
