She focuses her advocacy on conflict resolution and puts you first every step of the way.

Sharon has committed herself to advocacy in family law since the inception of her professional career. Having lived in Illinois her whole life and being raised by a social worker and an accountant, a career in family law came naturally. Sharon earned her legal degree at Loyola Chicago School of Law with a Certificate in Child and Family Law. She brings to the table a unique background in child welfare law, school law, adoption, and matrimonial law, before she zeroed in on the parenting concerns and financial complexities associated with all divorce and parentage cases.
