I have worked exclusively in the area of family law since my graduation from Seton Hall Law School in 2011. My clerkship in the Essex County Family Court provided me great insight into the judicial process. Thereafter, I worked as an Equal Justice Works Fellow and Staff Attorney at Essex-Newark Legal Services where I developed a teen dating violence education and advocacy project. I transitioned into private practice in 2015 and thereafter worked for boutique matrimonial firms in Morristown and Cranford. I have significant litigation and alternative dispute resolution experience and a passion to help people through the emotionally straining process of divorce and related family matters.

Calm, smart, and amazing
without going into any detail about the reason Shari was retained, unequivocally, I cannot say how wonderful she was. Smart, knowledgeable, and unafraid to stand up to a very prominent (maybe in his mind) attorney and calmly, but forcefully set out my position. And we were successful...in 15 minute...

Excellent Attorney, even better person
Retaining Shari has been one of the best decisions I could have made. Her expertise has been invaluable in my case and her knowledge, attention to detail and level of personal investment in securing the best possible outcome on behalf of me and my son was more than I could have hoped for.
