Sharon Jo Gentry

Atty Gentry was recommended to me from the Women's Freedom Center in Brattelboro. They said she was great as long as she believes you. This stuck out to me thinking why would they phrase it like that?. After she demanded $20K up front to start my continued child custody case, 5 full days in court spr...ead out over a year. She prepared for the first day and did nothing for the last 4. no prep and even helped their side. I lost custody and now my child is living with her abuser. This women drained the $20k and needed another $15K. She said she still needs more even after on the second day of trial just before we started, she said she did not believe me and we needed to figure out something. She never withdrew, she never talked about next steps. She apparently has a sick child at home that people in the area refer to as "oh she has a lot going on." Well her shtick is ruining people's lives. I found another attorney in the north that had a client that also used her and she did the same thing to them. So at least 3 people I gather she has done this trick too. She needs to be disbarred and sanctioned for her poor ethical decisions on when to represent someone or needing to stop rather than to bleed clients dry for her own personal gain. Absolutely despicable professional behavior. Something needs to be done to stop this. If I could give her negative stars, I would. STAY away from this woman in any family law case. She never has your best interest and will throw you under the bus for her own financial gain.
