Sharon's expertise focuses on family law, specifically cases involving children, domestic violence and harassment. These cases call for a particularly compassionate and sensitive approach coupled with a tenacious approach to getting results, and Sharon excels at this aspect of her work, as evidenced by her experience in applying to the courts for emergency remedies such as injunctions.
