Sharon Diamant represented me in a DUI case and was excellent. She exceeded all my expectations. She was able to keep me out of jail and got me probation despite my high BAC levels. Sharon was very responsive when I call or email her. I would highly recommend her. I am very please with the level of service I received.

Ms. Diamant truly cares and listens to potential and actual clients. I have personally seen her go the extra mile in assisting clients and their families in the most difficult of times. She provides excellent advice and guidance focusing on not only her client but more importantly their children's best interest. Ms. Diamant is smart, compassionate and a dedicated family attorney.

I live in South Carolina. My granddaughter lives in Maryland. I am a grandmother and great grandmother. Retired for over 20 years and I explained my dilemma as a retiree working on a budget. She was extremely understanding and worked with me to come up with a financial plan. Thank you; your staff and Erin for the assistance with this difficult case to ensure the best outcome possible. As I mentioned before, I am so grateful to have found you to represent and advocate for my granddaughter. Although she and I knew that you were passionate about your work and very thoughtful of her continuing on with her life throughout this case, we both knew what had to be done in order for her to realize that she was not going to be exonerated from all of the charges. Sharon also worked me from Lastly, thank you for assisting with expunging her record. I'm grateful for that also. I would recommend your firm to anyone. One thing for sure, I didn't have to do too much because you were behind the scenes working all the time although we thought you were not. Your work was fluid and you were direct with your actions the entire time. BRILLIANT WORK! Sincerely, "LL"--

You want to have a lawyer if you plan to divorce. There are many lawyers to choose from, but not all are excellent. Sharon Diamant is outstanding. She’s so much more than a competent attorney, she is a superhero. My divorce was painful and messy. Sharon defended me with ferocity, and she put me in my place at the same time. Exactly what I needed. My bruised ego and hurt feelings screamed for vengeance, but she calmly and rationally explained that my moral righteousness would cost me untold thousands of dollars and prolong the separation I most desperately needed. Thank G-d I listened. Sharon excels at communication. She answers her own phone! She texts when she can’t talk. She’s honest and direct. She sets high standards for herself and her clients. Sharon will not waste your time and money pursuing actions that she does not support. Not a few times Sharon offered to refer me to an attorney who would do my bidding because she refused to do it. Sharon is a warrior -- a former criminal prosecutor who knows Maryland divorce law inside and out. Divorce is difficult. It’s painful. You want a powerful attorney; also, you may need to be saved from yourself. Sharon Diamant is a lifesaver. Eternally grateful!

Sharon Diamant recently represented our business in small claims court and won our case for us. She was professional, respectful, attentive and thorough. She was always available to respond to our questions and concerns and treated us like we were her most important client. We have used other attorneys in the past, but Sharon’s knowledge and expertise of the law is second to none. We will definitely be recommending Sharon to family and friends as she knows the law and gets results.

Sharon Diamant helped me so much when I was the respondent in a frivolous and retaliatory peace order. I hired her before the final hearing because she was the most responsive and meticulous, providing excellent value within our budget. Sharon always responded quickly and informatively to all my calls and messages, which is so important when dealing with stressful legal matters. She is also very nice and easy to talk to, she takes the time to get to know your situation and answer all your questions. I highly recommend Sharon Diamant and her firm if you’re looking for an outstanding attorney in Maryland!

Sharon helped me through an extremely contentious divorce and helped find a reasonable middle ground that allowed me to move forward as a single dad. Her energy, warmth, responsiveness, and professionalism are extraordinary. She is incredibly accessible and typically answers emails and texts within an hour, if not minutes. Finally, her goal is to find the best resolution for her clients at the most reasonable cost - she looks for cost effective options and isn't one of those attorneys who simply wants to drive up her billable hours. I wouldn't think twice about hiring her again.

Sharon Diamant is an excellent attorney who works for the best interests of her clients. I knew from just our phone call even before meeting with her that I could entrust her with my divorce case. I am very happy that I made the right choice. Sharon responded to my emails, phone calls and texts promptly. She listened to what my goals and priorities were, addressed all my concerns and explained the possible choices and outcomes as my case progressed. Her expertise, competence and ongoing guidance helped my case move forward and settle through mediation. I am so grateful and thankful to Sharon Diamant. She is outstanding and I strongly recommend her.

Sharon is an absolute bulldog! Stop reading this post and hire Sharon now. You most definitely do not want to be cross-examined by her. She has zero tolerance for BS—neither her client nor the opposing party. The way that she communicated with not only the other attorney but also with me was direct, relevant, and focused. Indeed, A consummate professional. In our discussions, when I began to bring up things outside the scope of my matter at hand, Sharon listened. She also told me that the information I provided was not relevant to why we were going to court this time & helped me refocus on the matter at hand. I have no doubt that my outcome would have been different if Sharon was not my attorney. Maybe one day, I will be as good at my job as Ms. Diamant is at hers! When you hire Sharon, you get a straight-shooter who will zealously represent your interests. She will present you with the various options and has the experience and corporate knowledge to tailor her presentation based upon the judge hearing your case. I attempted to enter into a negotiated settlement with the opposing party. When the other side insisted on going to trial, that's when the gloves came off. When the other party began to spit non-sense and alternative facts, Sharon nearly made that witness cry. It was very satisfying and effective when Sharon tripped up the mendacious witness with that witness's own words. Hire Sharon now! If you don't, you might end up being cross-examined by her. If that happens, don’t say that you didn’t know.

A five star family Attorney! So much appreciation to Sharon, she is a wonderful professional; a dedicated and caring person. She has an immense heart and will do everything within her power to protect you and your family. She is very patient, extremely responsible and will tell you all of the possible outcomes without “sugar coating it”. She provided me with the comfort and trust that I needed during the worst times. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a family law attorney. It has been a very long two years of a very difficult and complex divorce/custody case, but I am very happy for the outstanding service that I have received from Sharon. She will TRULY take care and help you!
