Reich/Emerson LLP

Shari has been my personal Attorney for over 20 years and handled My cases with a professional, caring, trustworthy approach. You will not find a more passionate knowledgeable Attorney in her field. She fights for her clients like no other. I was served Divorce papers and as most people I did not know where to start so I asked my best friend who had been dragged through hell during a recent divorce for advice and he sent me to see Shari. When I went to talk to her the first time she asked how I found her, I told her I was referred to her by Mark, she was shocked because she represented his wife not him. I would highly recommend her firm and associates Lynn and staff to anyone. They are the Best!!

Shari Jo was extremely helpful in working with me through my divorce. She was up front regarding the cost of things and tried hard to avoid addition costs throughout the process. She guided me through what needed to be done to proceed .

I hired Shari Jo to handle my divorce because of a friend referral. Shari jo does not return calls or emails in a timely manner, if at all. Any time I had questions for Shari I got replies back that were demeaning and condescending, as if I were to know the answers myself. At one point paperwork was sent to me via email with no explanation but “please have notarized,” and when I asked her what they were I was told to “talk with your husband” whom I was divorcing. The few occasions I visited her office for varying reasons she was always “on a call” or “in a meeting” and anytime I called she was “out of the office.” In my opinion, for the fees Shari Jo charges, you can find a legal representative with a higher level of client interaction, communication skills, friendliness, and availability without compromising a favorable outcome to your issue.

I hired her from a referral from one of her friends.. and what a bad idea that was! When face with a black and white mistake on paper she said oh well, MAYBE the funds are in escrow (at the firm she left!) but has been zero help! I didn’t use her again after that transaction because she behaved like a nasty bully during THAT encounter, and I think she knew that she was leaving there, and I would not be surprised if it isn’t on purpose. Meanwhile, the firm she left is no better as they’re not helping either!!! Imagine layers making an over 3000.00 error NOT in your favor, and saying tough luck! But if you owe them money, ha, they will hound you to death! I wonder what they DID with it? I will be filing a lawsuit. See you in court Shari. Along with Kenney, Shelton Knowak, Liptak..

Simply put don’t hire her. She was rude, abrasive and condescending. More often than not I left our conversations feeling insulted, talked down to and wondering who’s side she was on. She often was trying to turn a simple family court issues into a long drawn out expensive ordeal to run up the billable hours. She’s as pleasant as a porcupine. Don’t waste your money on this woman. There are plenty of better options.

Shari Jo is disrespectful and clueless. She may use the excuse that she's tough and fights for her her clients, but in reality she is just a stuck up, nasty person that treats people like they an ATM. I would never recommend her to anyone and I would tell any lawyer or client not to be intimidated by her. Her bark is much worse than her bite.

Sheri Jo is a nasty person that does not treat people with respect. They are overpriced and not worth it at all. They drag cases out so they can charge you more and more and they don't fight for you or your child. They just want you to settle so they don't have to put the work in. I wasted so much money them. Don't make the same mistake.
