Sharon Voyles Filipour

There isn't another lawyer like Sharon Filipour, and I've worked with a few. From my first meeting with Sharon, I knew she cared about her clients as people, not just another case. And, what makes that especially potent is that she has been practicing law for 30+ years. She has seen and heard, just about everything. On the surface, she is humorous and warm, but underneath, one finds vast experience and broad knowledge and, if she needs to be, a tough-as-nails attorney. She is strong in the areas you want: she is not intimidated by trial, if it's the best for her client, and even though she is always respectful and professional, she is no push over in negotiations with opposing counsel. She's a good communicator.She is very direct and honest with her clients. She refused to sell me any "big promises". If anything, she made sure I understood the worst case scenario. She often used the word "reasonable" and kept me aiming for that throughout the long, emotional, draining divorce process.

Ms Filipour is a very compassionate attorney that I have ever come across. She gives very realistic expectations of the outcome. Her years of experience is very much evident in court and the negotiations. She works with the energy and enthusiasm of a 30 year old which I always admire. When the client is in a high emotional state, Ms Filipour gives a right direction keeping in mind the best interest of the child and the financial consequences on the client. She has a very rare and exceptional quality of understanding different cultures which has immensely helped with my case. Ms Filipour has become a good friend and part of my family by the end of my case.

Ms. Sharon was always there when i needed her. She was helpful, understanding, com passionate and very responsive.

Sharon has always shown herself to be honorable, knowledgeable and caring. I feel more of a friend than a client as she seems to truly care about my case and me. I feel she sets realistic expectations and works diligently towards the best result and minimizes fees as best she can. Would strong,e recommend her.

Working with Ms. Filipour has been one of the best decisions I have made. She is by far the most knowledgeable in her field, compassionate to her clients, and determined to be cool, calm, and collected. I have had considerable experience with other lawyers in the past, but none can come close to Ms. Sharon Filipour. She truly cares, and can be trusted to put her best foot forward regardless of the case or situation. She is kind and caring to all. Would highly recommend Ms. Filipour to any and all seeking representation.

When I first met Sharon I was stressed and overwhelmed with the thought of not having custody of my son. Sharon's calming demeanor was the first thing I noticed. She treated me like I was her only client with attentiveness and timely responses to all of my questions and needs. She used her knowledge and experience to explain to me what to expect in the preparation of my case. When it was time to present my case in front of the judge, she was poised and professional and presented a clear and well organized argument that proved to the judge that my son was best to remain in my custody. I highly recommend Sharon Filipour to anyone looking for a compassionate yet tough attorney to fight for your best interest.

Sharon is fair, honest, realistic, warm and perceptive. She helped me focus on the big picture instead of wasting time and money in useless and vindictive pursuits. While she did her best to minimize fees and approach the case with a strategy of resolving things quickly and reasonably, she is definitely the one you want by your side when forced to litigate. She is an outstanding advocate in the court room and her calm demeanor commands respect. In addition to her legal expertise, Sharon's life experiences as a parent and spouse helped me navigate very difficult parenting situations and personal hurdles. The advice and confidence she inspired in those areas could never be billed at an hourly rate. She is simply "the best". I consulted with several attorneys before a friend recommended Sharon and choosing her was unequivocally the best decision I made during this extremely painful and difficult time in my life.

Sharon became my friend in the worst time of my life. My ex-wife was determined to take my daughter from me. Because of Sharon, I got full 50/50 custody and settled out of court. Because of Sharon, my assets are intact. She has great knowledge, experience and ability. I could write about her great legal competence at length, but her best attribute is that she honestly cares about her clients. She cares about them as people. She cares about what happens to them in the long term. Her compassion and guidance was worth much more than the money, but I should say I was better represented than my ex-wife and I spent less than a third what she did. There are dozens of things Sharon could have charged me for, but didn't. We aren't just paychecks for her. She works tirelessly through long hours and she wins. She has the experience to know all the judges and most of the opposing counsel. She knows the law and she fights to win. She seeks compromise and is an effective negotiator. Get her.

Ms. Filipour was recommended to me by a father she had represented that was extremely happy with the way she represented him. Prior to retaining Sharon, I didn't think it was possible for a father to actually be awarded custody and she proved me wrong. Her knowledge, experience and dedication to my case was unbelievable. Even though she had numerous other clients, I felt as if I was her only client with her attention to my situation. I've recommended her to others and will continue to do so.

Sharon not only represented me with excellence, but she also gave me a realistic representation of my situation. While I wanted the reality of my divorce and rights to my children to be different, she was frank with what to expect. And over the course of my child custody/divorce case, exactly what she told me to expect unfolded. This enabled me to make informed decisions at each step of the process. I do not believe I could have been represented better by any other lawyer.
