Hired Attorney

Sharon is very professional, but is a very caring, warm, person. She explained everything very clearly to us, and was completely honest about issues for which my husband would be responsible. She never candy-coated anything, so we were prepared for the good, and the ugly (the case involved my husband's ex-wife). I highly recommend Sharon--she is a formidable attorney whom I would never want to meet across the table or aisle!

Hired Attorney

During one of the most difficult times in my life, Mrs. Diamant was very compassionate, sympathetic, and most importantly realistic. I believe it was her confidence, professionalism and aggressiveness that got me through a very complex and timely divorce. She is respected among her peers and very well known for her incredible work ethic. I couldn’t have asked for better representation!

Sharon Diamant represented me in two separate legal matters, her results are stellar and unparalleled. Sharon is fierce, tenacious and a true tour de force in the courtroom. Outside the courtroom she gives tremendous personal attention. With 20 years experience she brings substantial value to the table. Her unique position as former state's prosecutor, give her expert knowledge, edge, ability and skill set to win. I highly recommend Sharon Diamant for any legal matter. She is the absolute best.

Hired Attorney

I was watching helplessly the pain of my daughter. My call for help to save my child had fallen on deaf hears among many people in the system. I was desperate about my daughter's fate. Then, a man referred me to Sharon. Sharon helped me contain the hurt. She has a sense of fairness and compassion, particularly to children. My daughter is in a better place than she was a year ago because of Sharon's legal skills. I recommend Sharon to fathers who want to have relationship with their child.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
