Sharon is an incredible attorney. She represented me in a restraining order petition – absolutely a rock star. Easy to talk to, personable and smart, she was an ally that worked extremely hard for us, was compelling in court, and presented a well-organized and excellent presentation of my case. Tough as well as kind, Sharon is a hard-to-find combination who will fight for you. I highly recommend hiring her!

I don’t do a lot of reviews, but I wanted to take a minute and express my gratitude for Sharon. She came with highest recommendations from one of the best and longest winning lawyers in CA. A lawyer who handles the most recognizable faces in the industry. She went beyond my expectations and my initial worries of getting legal assistance. She immediately met, listened, and explained the process, making me feel as if I were the most important client she represented. She was sincerely compassionate to my circumstances and expertly advised me of all my options. Sharon was well versed on all the legalities and easily recommended steps to take moving forward. I was amazed at the information she had, guiding me through every single step of the legal process. She even gave me resources which I found to be incredible, one’s that I could do on my on, saving time and money. She attacked the case with everything she had, often taking calls from me to calm and reassure. She updated me frequently, keeping me up to speed with the process as it progressed. I was terrified of the legal ramification of the illegal situation I had unknowingly stepped into. Thankfully, I was guided to a lawyer who not only has an excellent history with clients, but also personally cares. In my situation, thanks to Sharon’s experience and expertise, I had a positive outcome. I will always be thankful I was sent to the right lawyer for my case. I would highly recommend Sharon if you’ve found yourself in a place where you need an exemplary lawyer. A lawyer who will fight for you and your rights, no matter the situation. Sharon is a person that comes with highest recommendations and will succeed for you.

I contacted Sharon to help me evaluate my compensation package when seperating from a previous employer and she provided me with fantastic advice and great information to help me ask the right questions and secure the best possible package to support my family and I through the transition. Thanks Sharon!

Full transparency, I'm a friend of Sharon's and I retained her legal services. At a time when I needed a lawyer; to have someone in my corner; she came through with flying colors. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has a wealth of experience working with all types of folks, and is always seeking to understand and help you. She had/found answers to all my questions and worked with me on a way forward that we both felt confident with. She pursued the best outcome for me, and helped to allay my fears throughout the process. It is rare to find such talent and caring.

I retained Ms. Appelbaum who came highly recommended to me after being charged with a felony in 2014. She worked nonstop on my case for close to a year and it resulted in a plea bargain that lowered my charge from a strikeable offense to a non-strike offense. My case never went to trial and I served no jail time. I completed probation and community service when I was looking at years in prison initially. Sharon provided great guidance and counsel and I highly recommend her services!

Sharon was helpful, responsive, direct, clear and very fair in her fees and billing. I recommend her legal counsel to others.

When Sharon was hired she was only given two weeks by the Judge to prepare to represent me for my preliminary hearing in a felony case (due to excessive continuations by the DA and my previous attorney). In the shortest of time she fought ethically and got the bail reduced by a million dollars. Then she continued to fight getting the entire case dismissed completely. I thank God for her efforts and zeal. Sharon is far above average and is afraid of no fight. Ironically the other attorney was rated a 9.5
