Sharon tries to help her clients, not to create a huge bill to charge them later. She is compassionate and caring. She is reasonable and fair. She does honest work. I have a lot of respect for her style of work. I was referred to see her through another attorney friend of mine. I was very lucky. Sharon, helped me with my divorce and charged me a flat reasonable fee to do this. I highly recommend her.

I wholeheartedly agree with the existing reviews in regards to Sharon's expertise and demeanor. She is fair, honest, realistic, warm and perceptive. Right from the start, her goal was to help me come out on the other side of this divorce with the ability to rebuild my life - NOT to spend needless amounts of time and money trying to inflict pain on the person whose decisions destroyed our family life. She was truly the calm throughout the most difficult time of my life and kept me focused on the most important parts of the case. 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. I had many friends and family members in the court room and each one of them commented to me about how outstanding she was in court. 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. If you have to go through "the worst", you might as well have "the best" by your side.

By chance I looked for and found Ms. Sharon Filipour about 6 years ago. She’s always the true attorney that I am asking for: kind, honest, professional, trustworthy, all in the top level. She took care of my problems like her own. The thing I most admire about Sharon is her kindness, her classy characters. She truly reminds me of Abraham Lincoln, an honest attorney that I read about. Today is November 24, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving 2021 and I bought a bouquet, coming to her office to show my gratitude to her, belatedly. Unfortunately her office is closed for the holidays but this gives me the chance to write this review which I almost never did on anything. I am forever grateful to her professional service

I trust Sharon. Sharon is a good, honest person in addition to being an excellent attorney and advocate. She is smart. She is persuasive. She knows the law. She has decades of experience. She knows the courts and the personalities of the judges. She understands people. I think she got the measure of me right away (in a good way). In the terrible time I needed her services, it was a great comfort to feel understood. I must admit that on two occasions, I was certain that my ex would do one thing and Sharon called things differently. She was right both times. Sharon comes across as a sweet grandmotherly type. She is. There is no "but..." Still, as you get to know her and see her in action, you also see just how shrewd, smart and tough she is. Sharon will clearly tell you the realities of how the system works, determine the best strategy and work tirelessly for you. You will soon realize that she genuinely cares about you as a person. Sharon works hard. She also works hard to keep your costs down. It would be to many attorney's advantage to always litigate. Because she cares about her client, she strives to keep them out of tens of thousands of dollars litigation costs. If litigation were to happen, I am certain she would be a firey, capable, worthy advocate, but it says a lot that she would rather look out for you first. In the absolute worst time of my life, I did not expect to find a friend. Yet, she has become one. She also has a truly excellent recipe for Persian rice.

I could not have asked for a better outcome and more importantly a better lawyer. Mrs. Sharon Filipour is fantastic and is in my opinion the best divorce lawyer in North Virginia. My top reasons why Mrs. Filipour is the best choice for divorce proceedings: 1. My interests were her priority. I had some non-negotiable issues that she fought for and I was eventually awarded in the divorce settlement. She listened, she listened and then she listened more. She understood what was important to me in these proceedings and in the end I got what I most wanted... my kids. 2. She found a solution. After my initial meeting with her, she took all the emotionally charged narrative I provided her and put it into a simple plan. I left on day one with a clear understanding of the path forward to a fair and realistic resolution. 3. Unquestionable integrity. Kindly told me when I was wrong and gave me honest opinions which allowed me to form realistic expectations. 4. Incredibly intelligent. She navigated through the negotiations with ease and confidence. She was able to thoroughly assess the situation, find an appropriate response, and deliver the message effectively. Clearly this was not her first case.. 5. Cost effective and well worth every penny. Her rates are fair and she maximized her efforts and minimized my costs in the long run. My first lawyer was 3x times her cost who kept adding additional services like Private Investigators, mediators, requesting frivolous depositions, mental health counselors, and fee on top of fee for various services. I felt like I was being swindled. Mrs. Filipour, on the other hand, charged me for what was necessary and respected my financial situation. Best of all, I received a very positive outcome saving thousands, if not millions, of my future earnings. I respected that she never took advantage of my vulnerability by recommending third party solutions “I know a guy” or added costs because I communicated an opportunity. 6. She knows how to win. I was amazed at her ability to out wit and out maneuver the opposing lawyer. At times providing him solutions that he agreed with solely based on her delivery. It was incredible to watch her walk through this process so confidently and almost effortlessly. 7. She cares. She truly took an interest in my kids and I. Offered solutions to dilemmas I faced while going through this emotionally draining situation. Very empathetic and just kind. She’s a truly wonderful and caring person. Mrs. Filipour is someone you want in your foxhole (I’m retired Army Officer) when you’re fighting for what is most important to you (your kids) and have everything you have worked for all your life on the line. She provided me exceedingly competent knowledge and insight in divorce case law and did so in a way that helped me tremendously in one of the most trying times in my life. I am forever grateful to Mrs. Filipour!

Sharon is a kind, compassionate and a highly skilled lawyer. The reviews that mention those attributes are certainly correct. Sharon cares about you and your family and works tirelessly to ensure good results. Sharon won my custody case where I, a full time working father, was awarded primary physical custody of my son, something she has a track for. That sold me and I'm glad I used Avvo to find her. Sharon is an excellent trial attorney with years of experience and graciously defeated the defense. Her demeanor and personality is unmatched and allows her to work to with opposing counsel and was praised by the judge in our case. She will explain the divorce and custody process to you and help you make decisions. She saves money and time by consulting with opposing counsel, offering cost saving solutions and working with you. If you care about your child then Sharon is THE attorney for you. And no she did not pay me to write this. She's truly a wonderful lady and attorney.

Sharon saved my life! She is fair, direct and very thorough. Sharon was able to take my very difficult case and stick with me through to the favorable outcome for me and my children. She understood the issues and was fair and demonstrates respect for all while doing the right thing in regard to the law. Sharon is an excellent communicator and is able to work with family members graciously and with heartfelt intent, keeping her client's best interests in mind but not trying to be self serving and she is very fair with fees and payments. She understands the emotional side and the financial implications and devastations of divorce. Without Sharon's expertise I would have been destitute. I cannot say enough good things about her and how she cared enough to help me. She was truly a godsend. I recommended her to others who asked me for a lawyer.

I'd had a TERRIBLE experience in Family Court over the last several years with loss after loss. I went through 2 different attorneys who only seemed concerned with billing and didn't take the time to really listen and to help me. After being fed up with attorneys acting like they were doing me a favor to work on my case for hundreds of dollars an hour, I hired Sharon with only a few days to go before a court proceeding. Right from the start, she was caring and knowledgeable and actually listened. She successfully argued for a continuance and was able to put together a winning strategy for court so, for once, I had a successful outcome. In preparing my case, it was not uncommon for me to get an email at 11:00 at night from Sharon saying, "what about this?" or "have you thought of this?" She obviously cares about the people she represents and genuinely wants to help. Her billing is extremely fair and she could have billed me for many hours of her time, both during work hours and after, but she chose not to out of the kindness of her heart. She has even helped me find a lawyer in another state to help me with a visitation matter. Also, she is very respectful to opposing counsel yet no nonsense. She will aggressively argue a point but be kind and reasonable at the same time. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING SHARON!

Sharon Filipour is simply an excellent and caring attorney. She listens very carefully to her client and makes a whole picture of the situation first. Then, she checks the chances of litigating versus agreement, a great way to save her clients money and time. Another fascinating aspect of Sharon Filipour's work is her warm and human way of thinking. I truly believe Sharon is a fantastic attorney and recommend her without any reservations whatsoever to other clients who might consider her as their attorney. Sharon never lets her clients alone. All I said is based on my personal experience with her for my divorce and child custody. Than you Sharon so sincerely.

Excellent job and i wish i had meet her before i got involved with 2 other, so called ???? Lawyers. She was able to help me in a very satisfying way in a very short time and i can recommend her anytime!

She understood what was important to me in these proceedings and in the end I got what I most wanted... my kids. 2. She found a solution. After my initial meeting with her, she took all the emotionally charged narrative I provided her and put it into a simple plan. I left on day one with a clear understanding of the path forward to a fair and realistic resolution. 3. Unquestionable integrity. Kindly told me when I was wrong and gave me honest opinions which allowed me to form realistic expectations. 4. Incredibly intelligent. She navigated through the negotiations with ease and confidence. She was able to thoroughly assess the situation, find an appropriate response, and deliver the message effectively. Clearly this was not her first case.. 5. Cost effective and well worth every penny. Her rates are fair and she maximized her efforts and minimized my costs in the long run. My first lawyer was 3x times her cost who kept adding additional services like Private Investigators, mediators, requesting frivolous depositions, mental health counselors, and fee on top of fee for various services. I felt like I was being swindled. Mrs. Filipour, on the other hand, charged me for what was necessary and respected my financial situation. Best of all, I received a very positive outcome saving thousands, if not millions, of my future earnings. I respected that she never took advantage of my vulnerability by recommending third party solutions “I know a guy” or added costs because I communicated an opportunity. 6. She knows how to win. I was amazed at her ability to out wit and out maneuver the opposing lawyer. At times providing him solutions that he agreed with solely based on her delivery. It was incredible to watch her walk through this process so confidently and almost effortlessly. 7. She cares. She truly took an interest in my kids and I. Offered solutions to dilemmas I faced while going through this emotionally draining situation. Very empathetic and just kind. She’s a truly wonderful and caring person. Mrs. Filipour is someone you want in your foxhole (I’m retired Army Officer) when you’re fighting for what is most important to you (your kids) and have everything you have worked for all your life on the line. She provided me exceedingly competent knowledge and insight in divorce case law and did so in a way that helped me tremendously in one of the most trying times in my life. I am forever grateful to Mrs. Filipour!

Sharon is a kind, compassionate and a highly skilled lawyer. The reviews that mention those attributes are certainly correct. Sharon cares about you and your family and works tirelessly to ensure good results. Sharon won my custody case where I, a full time working father, was awarded primary physical custody of my son, something she has a track for. That sold me and I'm glad I used Avvo to find her. Sharon is an excellent trial attorney with years of experience and graciously defeated the defense. Her demeanor and personality is unmatched and allows her to work to with opposing counsel and was praised by the judge in our case. She will explain the divorce and custody process to you and help you make decisions. She saves money and time by consulting with opposing counsel, offering cost saving solutions and working with you. If you care about your child then Sharon is THE attorney for you. And no she did not pay me to write this. She's truly a wonderful lady and attorney.

Sharon saved my life! She is fair, direct and very thorough. Sharon was able to take my very difficult case and stick with me through to the favorable outcome for me and my children. She understood the issues and was fair and demonstrates respect for all while doing the right thing in regard to the law. Sharon is an excellent communicator and is able to work with family members graciously and with heartfelt intent, keeping her client's best interests in mind but not trying to be self serving and she is very fair with fees and payments. She understands the emotional side and the financial implications and devastations of divorce. Without Sharon's expertise I would have been destitute. I cannot say enough good things about her and how she cared enough to help me. She was truly a godsend. I recommended her to others who asked me for a lawyer.

I'd had a TERRIBLE experience in Family Court over the last several years with loss after loss. I went through 2 different attorneys who only seemed concerned with billing and didn't take the time to really listen and to help me. After being fed up with attorneys acting like they were doing me a favor to work on my case for hundreds of dollars an hour, I hired Sharon with only a few days to go before a court proceeding. Right from the start, she was caring and knowledgeable and actually listened. She successfully argued for a continuance and was able to put together a winning strategy for court so, for once, I had a successful outcome. In preparing my case, it was not uncommon for me to get an email at 11:00 at night from Sharon saying, "what about this?" or "have you thought of this?" She obviously cares about the people she represents and genuinely wants to help. Her billing is extremely fair and she could have billed me for many hours of her time, both during work hours and after, but she chose not to out of the kindness of her heart. She has even helped me find a lawyer in another state to help me with a visitation matter. Also, she is very respectful to opposing counsel yet no nonsense. She will aggressively argue a point but be kind and reasonable at the same time. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING SHARON!

Sharon Filipour is simply an excellent and caring attorney. She listens very carefully to her client and makes a whole picture of the situation first. Then, she checks the chances of litigating versus agreement, a great way to save her clients money and time. Another fascinating aspect of Sharon Filipour's work is her warm and human way of thinking. I truly believe Sharon is a fantastic attorney and recommend her without any reservations whatsoever to other clients who might consider her as their attorney. Sharon never lets her clients alone. All I said is based on my personal experience with her for my divorce and child custody. Than you Sharon so sincerely.

Excellent job and i wish i had meet her before i got involved with 2 other, so called ???? Lawyers. She was able to help me in a very satisfying way in a very short time and i can recommend her anytime!

Sharon tries to help her clients, not to create a huge bill to charge them later. She is compassionate and caring. She is reasonable and fair. She does honest work. I have a lot of respect for her style of work. I was referred to see her through another attorney friend of mine. I was very lucky. Sharon, helped me with my divorce and charged me a flat reasonable fee to do this. I highly recommend her.

I wholeheartedly agree with the existing reviews in regards to Sharon's expertise and demeanor. She is fair, honest, realistic, warm and perceptive. Right from the start, her goal was to help me come out on the other side of this divorce with the ability to rebuild my life - NOT to spend needless amounts of time and money trying to inflict pain on the person whose decisions destroyed our family life. She was truly the calm throughout the most difficult time of my life and kept me focused on the most important parts of the case. 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. I had many friends and family members in the court room and each one of them commented to me about how outstanding she was in court. 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. If you have to go through "the worst", you might as well have "the best" by your side.

By chance I looked for and found Ms. Sharon Filipour about 6 years ago. She’s always the true attorney that I am asking for: kind, honest, professional, trustworthy, all in the top level. She took care of my problems like her own. The thing I most admire about Sharon is her kindness, her classy characters. She truly reminds me of Abraham Lincoln, an honest attorney that I read about. Today is November 24, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving 2021 and I bought a bouquet, coming to her office to show my gratitude to her, belatedly. Unfortunately her office is closed for the holidays but this gives me the chance to write this review which I almost never did on anything. I am forever grateful to her professional service

I trust Sharon. Sharon is a good, honest person in addition to being an excellent attorney and advocate. She is smart. She is persuasive. She knows the law. She has decades of experience. She knows the courts and the personalities of the judges. She understands people. I think she got the measure of me right away (in a good way). In the terrible time I needed her services, it was a great comfort to feel understood. I must admit that on two occasions, I was certain that my ex would do one thing and Sharon called things differently. She was right both times. Sharon comes across as a sweet grandmotherly type. She is. There is no "but..." Still, as you get to know her and see her in action, you also see just how shrewd, smart and tough she is. Sharon will clearly tell you the realities of how the system works, determine the best strategy and work tirelessly for you. You will soon realize that she genuinely cares about you as a person. Sharon works hard. She also works hard to keep your costs down. It would be to many attorney's advantage to always litigate. Because she cares about her client, she strives to keep them out of tens of thousands of dollars litigation costs. If litigation were to happen, I am certain she would be a firey, capable, worthy advocate, but it says a lot that she would rather look out for you first. In the absolute worst time of my life, I did not expect to find a friend. Yet, she has become one. She also has a truly excellent recipe for Persian rice.

I could not have asked for a better outcome and more importantly a better lawyer. Mrs. Sharon Filipour is fantastic and is in my opinion the best divorce lawyer in North Virginia. My top reasons why Mrs. Filipour is the best choice for divorce proceedings: 1. My interests were her priority.

I'd had a TERRIBLE experience in Family Court over the last several years with loss after loss. I went through 2 different attorneys who only seemed concerned with billing and didn't take the time to really listen and to help me. After being fed up with attorneys acting like they were doing me a favor to work on my case for hundreds of dollars an hour, I hired Sharon with only a few days to go before a court proceeding. Right from the start, she was caring and knowledgeable and actually listened. She successfully argued for a continuance and was able to put together a winning strategy for court so, for once, I had a successful outcome. In preparing my case, it was not uncommon for me to get an email at 11:00 at night from Sharon saying, "what about this?" or "have you thought of this?" She obviously cares about the people she represents and genuinely wants to help. Her billing is extremely fair and she could have billed me for many hours of her time, both during work hours and after, but she chose not to out of the kindness of her heart. She has even helped me find a lawyer in another state to help me with a visitation matter. Also, she is very respectful to opposing counsel yet no nonsense. She will aggressively argue a point but be kind and reasonable at the same time. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING SHARON!

Sharon Filipour is simply an excellent and caring attorney. She listens very carefully to her client and makes a whole picture of the situation first. Then, she checks the chances of litigating versus agreement, a great way to save her clients money and time. Another fascinating aspect of Sharon Filipour's work is her warm and human way of thinking. I truly believe Sharon is a fantastic attorney and recommend her without any reservations whatsoever to other clients who might consider her as their attorney. Sharon never lets her clients alone. All I said is based on my personal experience with her for my divorce and child custody. Than you Sharon so sincerely.

Excellent job and i wish i had meet her before i got involved with 2 other, so called ???? Lawyers. She was able to help me in a very satisfying way in a very short time and i can recommend her anytime!

Sharon tries to help her clients, not to create a huge bill to charge them later. She is compassionate and caring. She is reasonable and fair. She does honest work. I have a lot of respect for her style of work. I was referred to see her through another attorney friend of mine. I was very lucky. Sharon, helped me with my divorce and charged me a flat reasonable fee to do this. I highly recommend her.

I wholeheartedly agree with the existing reviews in regards to Sharon's expertise and demeanor. She is fair, honest, realistic, warm and perceptive. Right from the start, her goal was to help me come out on the other side of this divorce with the ability to rebuild my life - NOT to spend needless amounts of time and money trying to inflict pain on the person whose decisions destroyed our family life. She was truly the calm throughout the most difficult time of my life and kept me focused on the most important parts of the case. 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. I had many friends and family members in the court room and each one of them commented to me about how outstanding she was in court. 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. If you have to go through "the worst", you might as well have "the best" by your side.

By chance I looked for and found Ms. Sharon Filipour about 6 years ago. She’s always the true attorney that I am asking for: kind, honest, professional, trustworthy, all in the top level. She took care of my problems like her own. The thing I most admire about Sharon is her kindness, her classy characters. She truly reminds me of Abraham Lincoln, an honest attorney that I read about. Today is November 24, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving 2021 and I bought a bouquet, coming to her office to show my gratitude to her, belatedly. Unfortunately her office is closed for the holidays but this gives me the chance to write this review which I almost never did on anything. I am forever grateful to her professional service

I trust Sharon. Sharon is a good, honest person in addition to being an excellent attorney and advocate. She is smart. She is persuasive. She knows the law. She has decades of experience. She knows the courts and the personalities of the judges. She understands people. I think she got the measure of me right away (in a good way). In the terrible time I needed her services, it was a great comfort to feel understood. I must admit that on two occasions, I was certain that my ex would do one thing and Sharon called things differently. She was right both times. Sharon comes across as a sweet grandmotherly type. She is. There is no "but..." Still, as you get to know her and see her in action, you also see just how shrewd, smart and tough she is. Sharon will clearly tell you the realities of how the system works, determine the best strategy and work tirelessly for you. You will soon realize that she genuinely cares about you as a person. Sharon works hard. She also works hard to keep your costs down. It would be to many attorney's advantage to always litigate. Because she cares about her client, she strives to keep them out of tens of thousands of dollars litigation costs. If litigation were to happen, I am certain she would be a firey, capable, worthy advocate, but it says a lot that she would rather look out for you first. In the absolute worst time of my life, I did not expect to find a friend. Yet, she has become one. She also has a truly excellent recipe for Persian rice.

I could not have asked for a better outcome and more importantly a better lawyer. Mrs. Sharon Filipour is fantastic and is in my opinion the best divorce lawyer in North Virginia. My top reasons why Mrs. Filipour is the best choice for divorce proceedings: 1. My interests were her priority. I had some non-negotiable issues that she fought for and I was eventually awarded in the divorce settlement. She listened, she listened and then she listened more. She understood what was important to me in these proceedings and in the end I got what I most wanted... my kids. 2. She found a solution. After my initial meeting with her, she took all the emotionally charged narrative I provided her and put it into a simple plan. I left on day one with a clear understanding of the path forward to a fair and realistic resolution. 3. Unquestionable integrity. Kindly told me when I was wrong and gave me honest opinions which allowed me to form realistic expectations. 4. Incredibly intelligent. She navigated through the negotiations with ease and confidence. She was able to thoroughly assess the situation, find an appropriate response, and deliver the message effectively. Clearly this was not her first case.. 5. Cost effective and well worth every penny. Her rates are fair and she maximized her efforts and minimized my costs in the long run. My first lawyer was 3x times her cost who kept adding additional services like Private Investigators, mediators, requesting frivolous depositions, mental health counselors, and fee on top of fee for various services. I felt like I was being swindled. Mrs. Filipour, on the other hand, charged me for what was necessary and respected my financial situation. Best of all, I received a very positive outcome saving thousands, if not millions, of my future earnings. I respected that she never took advantage of my vulnerability by recommending third party solutions “I know a guy” or added costs because I communicated an opportunity. 6. She knows how to win. I was amazed at her ability to out wit and out maneuver the opposing lawyer. At times providing him solutions that he agreed with solely based on her delivery. It was incredible to watch her walk through this process so confidently and almost effortlessly. 7. She cares. She truly took an interest in my kids and I. Offered solutions to dilemmas I faced while going through this emotionally draining situation. Very empathetic and just kind. She’s a truly wonderful and caring person. Mrs. Filipour is someone you want in your foxhole (I’m retired Army Officer) when you’re fighting for what is most important to you (your kids) and have everything you have worked for all your life on the line. She provided me exceedingly competent knowledge and insight in divorce case law and did so in a way that helped me tremendously in one of the most trying times in my life. I am forever grateful to Mrs. Filipour!

Sharon is a kind, compassionate and a highly skilled lawyer. The reviews that mention those attributes are certainly correct. Sharon cares about you and your family and works tirelessly to ensure good results. Sharon won my custody case where I, a full time working father, was awarded primary physical custody of my son, something she has a track for. That sold me and I'm glad I used Avvo to find her. Sharon is an excellent trial attorney with years of experience and graciously defeated the defense. Her demeanor and personality is unmatched and allows her to work to with opposing counsel and was praised by the judge in our case. She will explain the divorce and custody process to you and help you make decisions. She saves money and time by consulting with opposing counsel, offering cost saving solutions and working with you. If you care about your child then Sharon is THE attorney for you. And no she did not pay me to write this. She's truly a wonderful lady and attorney.

Sharon saved my life! She is fair, direct and very thorough. Sharon was able to take my very difficult case and stick with me through to the favorable outcome for me and my children. She understood the issues and was fair and demonstrates respect for all while doing the right thing in regard to the law. Sharon is an excellent communicator and is able to work with family members graciously and with heartfelt intent, keeping her client's best interests in mind but not trying to be self serving and she is very fair with fees and payments. She understands the emotional side and the financial implications and devastations of divorce. Without Sharon's expertise I would have been destitute. I cannot say enough good things about her and how she cared enough to help me. She was truly a godsend. I recommended her to others who asked me for a lawyer.

Today is November 24, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving 2021 and I bought a bouquet, coming to her office to show my gratitude to her, belatedly. Unfortunately her office is closed for the holidays but this gives me the chance to write this review which I almost never did on anything. I am forever grateful to her professional service

I trust Sharon. Sharon is a good, honest person in addition to being an excellent attorney and advocate. She is smart. She is persuasive. She knows the law. She has decades of experience. She knows the courts and the personalities of the judges. She understands people. I think she got the measure of me right away (in a good way). In the terrible time I needed her services, it was a great comfort to feel understood. I must admit that on two occasions, I was certain that my ex would do one thing and Sharon called things differently. She was right both times. Sharon comes across as a sweet grandmotherly type. She is. There is no "but..." Still, as you get to know her and see her in action, you also see just how shrewd, smart and tough she is. Sharon will clearly tell you the realities of how the system works, determine the best strategy and work tirelessly for you. You will soon realize that she genuinely cares about you as a person. Sharon works hard. She also works hard to keep your costs down. It would be to many attorney's advantage to always litigate. Because she cares about her client, she strives to keep them out of tens of thousands of dollars litigation costs. If litigation were to happen, I am certain she would be a firey, capable, worthy advocate, but it says a lot that she would rather look out for you first. In the absolute worst time of my life, I did not expect to find a friend. Yet, she has become one. She also has a truly excellent recipe for Persian rice.

I could not have asked for a better outcome and more importantly a better lawyer. Mrs. Sharon Filipour is fantastic and is in my opinion the best divorce lawyer in North Virginia. My top reasons why Mrs. Filipour is the best choice for divorce proceedings: 1. My interests were her priority. I had some non-negotiable issues that she fought for and I was eventually awarded in the divorce settlement. She listened, she listened and then she listened more. She understood what was important to me in these proceedings and in the end I got what I most wanted... my kids. 2. She found a solution. After my initial meeting with her, she took all the emotionally charged narrative I provided her and put it into a simple plan. I left on day one with a clear understanding of the path forward to a fair and realistic resolution. 3. Unquestionable integrity. Kindly told me when I was wrong and gave me honest opinions which allowed me to form realistic expectations. 4. Incredibly intelligent. She navigated through the negotiations with ease and confidence. She was able to thoroughly assess the situation, find an appropriate response, and deliver the message effectively. Clearly this was not her first case.. 5. Cost effective and well worth every penny. Her rates are fair and she maximized her efforts and minimized my costs in the long run. My first lawyer was 3x times her cost who kept adding additional services like Private Investigators, mediators, requesting frivolous depositions, mental health counselors, and fee on top of fee for various services. I felt like I was being swindled. Mrs. Filipour, on the other hand, charged me for what was necessary and respected my financial situation. Best of all, I received a very positive outcome saving thousands, if not millions, of my future earnings. I respected that she never took advantage of my vulnerability by recommending third party solutions “I know a guy” or added costs because I communicated an opportunity. 6. She knows how to win. I was amazed at her ability to out wit and out maneuver the opposing lawyer. At times providing him solutions that he agreed with solely based on her delivery. It was incredible to watch her walk through this process so confidently and almost effortlessly. 7. She cares. She truly took an interest in my kids and I. Offered solutions to dilemmas I faced while going through this emotionally draining situation. Very empathetic and just kind. She’s a truly wonderful and caring person. Mrs. Filipour is someone you want in your foxhole (I’m retired Army Officer) when you’re fighting for what is most important to you (your kids) and have everything you have worked for all your life on the line. She provided me exceedingly competent knowledge and insight in divorce case law and did so in a way that helped me tremendously in one of the most trying times in my life. I am forever grateful to Mrs. Filipour!

Sharon is a kind, compassionate and a highly skilled lawyer. The reviews that mention those attributes are certainly correct. Sharon cares about you and your family and works tirelessly to ensure good results. Sharon won my custody case where I, a full time working father, was awarded primary physical custody of my son, something she has a track for. That sold me and I'm glad I used Avvo to find her. Sharon is an excellent trial attorney with years of experience and graciously defeated the defense. Her demeanor and personality is unmatched and allows her to work to with opposing counsel and was praised by the judge in our case. She will explain the divorce and custody process to you and help you make decisions. She saves money and time by consulting with opposing counsel, offering cost saving solutions and working with you. If you care about your child then Sharon is THE attorney for you. And no she did not pay me to write this. She's truly a wonderful lady and attorney.

Sharon saved my life! She is fair, direct and very thorough. Sharon was able to take my very difficult case and stick with me through to the favorable outcome for me and my children. She understood the issues and was fair and demonstrates respect for all while doing the right thing in regard to the law. Sharon is an excellent communicator and is able to work with family members graciously and with heartfelt intent, keeping her client's best interests in mind but not trying to be self serving and she is very fair with fees and payments. She understands the emotional side and the financial implications and devastations of divorce. Without Sharon's expertise I would have been destitute. I cannot say enough good things about her and how she cared enough to help me. She was truly a godsend. I recommended her to others who asked me for a lawyer.

I'd had a TERRIBLE experience in Family Court over the last several years with loss after loss. I went through 2 different attorneys who only seemed concerned with billing and didn't take the time to really listen and to help me. After being fed up with attorneys acting like they were doing me a favor to work on my case for hundreds of dollars an hour, I hired Sharon with only a few days to go before a court proceeding. Right from the start, she was caring and knowledgeable and actually listened. She successfully argued for a continuance and was able to put together a winning strategy for court so, for once, I had a successful outcome. In preparing my case, it was not uncommon for me to get an email at 11:00 at night from Sharon saying, "what about this?" or "have you thought of this?" She obviously cares about the people she represents and genuinely wants to help. Her billing is extremely fair and she could have billed me for many hours of her time, both during work hours and after, but she chose not to out of the kindness of her heart. She has even helped me find a lawyer in another state to help me with a visitation matter. Also, she is very respectful to opposing counsel yet no nonsense. She will aggressively argue a point but be kind and reasonable at the same time. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING SHARON!

Sharon Filipour is simply an excellent and caring attorney. She listens very carefully to her client and makes a whole picture of the situation first. Then, she checks the chances of litigating versus agreement, a great way to save her clients money and time. Another fascinating aspect of Sharon Filipour's work is her warm and human way of thinking. I truly believe Sharon is a fantastic attorney and recommend her without any reservations whatsoever to other clients who might consider her as their attorney. Sharon never lets her clients alone. All I said is based on my personal experience with her for my divorce and child custody. Than you Sharon so sincerely.

Excellent job and i wish i had meet her before i got involved with 2 other, so called ???? Lawyers. She was able to help me in a very satisfying way in a very short time and i can recommend her anytime!

Sharon tries to help her clients, not to create a huge bill to charge them later. She is compassionate and caring. She is reasonable and fair. She does honest work. I have a lot of respect for her style of work. I was referred to see her through another attorney friend of mine. I was very lucky. Sharon, helped me with my divorce and charged me a flat reasonable fee to do this. I highly recommend her.

I wholeheartedly agree with the existing reviews in regards to Sharon's expertise and demeanor. She is fair, honest, realistic, warm and perceptive. Right from the start, her goal was to help me come out on the other side of this divorce with the ability to rebuild my life - NOT to spend needless amounts of time and money trying to inflict pain on the person whose decisions destroyed our family life. She was truly the calm throughout the most difficult time of my life and kept me focused on the most important parts of the case. 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. I had many friends and family members in the court room and each one of them commented to me about how outstanding she was in court. 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. If you have to go through "the worst", you might as well have "the best" by your side.

Offered solutions to dilemmas I faced while going through this emotionally draining situation. Very empathetic and just kind. She’s a truly wonderful and caring person. Mrs. Filipour is someone you want in your foxhole (I’m retired Army Officer) when you’re fighting for what is most important to you (your kids) and have everything you have worked for all your life on the line. She provided me exceedingly competent knowledge and insight in divorce case law and did so in a way that helped me tremendously in one of the most trying times in my life. I am forever grateful to Mrs. Filipour!

Sharon is a kind, compassionate and a highly skilled lawyer. The reviews that mention those attributes are certainly correct. Sharon cares about you and your family and works tirelessly to ensure good results. Sharon won my custody case where I, a full time working father, was awarded primary physical custody of my son, something she has a track for. That sold me and I'm glad I used Avvo to find her. Sharon is an excellent trial attorney with years of experience and graciously defeated the defense. Her demeanor and personality is unmatched and allows her to work to with opposing counsel and was praised by the judge in our case. She will explain the divorce and custody process to you and help you make decisions. She saves money and time by consulting with opposing counsel, offering cost saving solutions and working with you. If you care about your child then Sharon is THE attorney for you. And no she did not pay me to write this. She's truly a wonderful lady and attorney.

Sharon saved my life! She is fair, direct and very thorough. Sharon was able to take my very difficult case and stick with me through to the favorable outcome for me and my children. She understood the issues and was fair and demonstrates respect for all while doing the right thing in regard to the law. Sharon is an excellent communicator and is able to work with family members graciously and with heartfelt intent, keeping her client's best interests in mind but not trying to be self serving and she is very fair with fees and payments. She understands the emotional side and the financial implications and devastations of divorce. Without Sharon's expertise I would have been destitute. I cannot say enough good things about her and how she cared enough to help me. She was truly a godsend. I recommended her to others who asked me for a lawyer.

I'd had a TERRIBLE experience in Family Court over the last several years with loss after loss. I went through 2 different attorneys who only seemed concerned with billing and didn't take the time to really listen and to help me. After being fed up with attorneys acting like they were doing me a favor to work on my case for hundreds of dollars an hour, I hired Sharon with only a few days to go before a court proceeding. Right from the start, she was caring and knowledgeable and actually listened. She successfully argued for a continuance and was able to put together a winning strategy for court so, for once, I had a successful outcome. In preparing my case, it was not uncommon for me to get an email at 11:00 at night from Sharon saying, "what about this?" or "have you thought of this?" She obviously cares about the people she represents and genuinely wants to help. Her billing is extremely fair and she could have billed me for many hours of her time, both during work hours and after, but she chose not to out of the kindness of her heart. She has even helped me find a lawyer in another state to help me with a visitation matter. Also, she is very respectful to opposing counsel yet no nonsense. She will aggressively argue a point but be kind and reasonable at the same time. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING SHARON!

Sharon Filipour is simply an excellent and caring attorney. She listens very carefully to her client and makes a whole picture of the situation first. Then, she checks the chances of litigating versus agreement, a great way to save her clients money and time. Another fascinating aspect of Sharon Filipour's work is her warm and human way of thinking. I truly believe Sharon is a fantastic attorney and recommend her without any reservations whatsoever to other clients who might consider her as their attorney. Sharon never lets her clients alone. All I said is based on my personal experience with her for my divorce and child custody. Than you Sharon so sincerely.

Excellent job and i wish i had meet her before i got involved with 2 other, so called ???? Lawyers. She was able to help me in a very satisfying way in a very short time and i can recommend her anytime!

Sharon tries to help her clients, not to create a huge bill to charge them later. She is compassionate and caring. She is reasonable and fair. She does honest work. I have a lot of respect for her style of work. I was referred to see her through another attorney friend of mine. I was very lucky. Sharon, helped me with my divorce and charged me a flat reasonable fee to do this. I highly recommend her.

I wholeheartedly agree with the existing reviews in regards to Sharon's expertise and demeanor. She is fair, honest, realistic, warm and perceptive. Right from the start, her goal was to help me come out on the other side of this divorce with the ability to rebuild my life - NOT to spend needless amounts of time and money trying to inflict pain on the person whose decisions destroyed our family life. She was truly the calm throughout the most difficult time of my life and kept me focused on the most important parts of the case. 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. I had many friends and family members in the court room and each one of them commented to me about how outstanding she was in court. 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. If you have to go through "the worst", you might as well have "the best" by your side.

By chance I looked for and found Ms. Sharon Filipour about 6 years ago. She’s always the true attorney that I am asking for: kind, honest, professional, trustworthy, all in the top level. She took care of my problems like her own. The thing I most admire about Sharon is her kindness, her classy characters. She truly reminds me of Abraham Lincoln, an honest attorney that I read about. Today is November 24, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving 2021 and I bought a bouquet, coming to her office to show my gratitude to her, belatedly. Unfortunately her office is closed for the holidays but this gives me the chance to write this review which I almost never did on anything. I am forever grateful to her professional service

I trust Sharon. Sharon is a good, honest person in addition to being an excellent attorney and advocate. She is smart. She is persuasive. She knows the law. She has decades of experience. She knows the courts and the personalities of the judges. She understands people. I think she got the measure of me right away (in a good way). In the terrible time I needed her services, it was a great comfort to feel understood. I must admit that on two occasions, I was certain that my ex would do one thing and Sharon called things differently. She was right both times. Sharon comes across as a sweet grandmotherly type. She is. There is no "but..." Still, as you get to know her and see her in action, you also see just how shrewd, smart and tough she is. Sharon will clearly tell you the realities of how the system works, determine the best strategy and work tirelessly for you. You will soon realize that she genuinely cares about you as a person. Sharon works hard. She also works hard to keep your costs down. It would be to many attorney's advantage to always litigate. Because she cares about her client, she strives to keep them out of tens of thousands of dollars litigation costs. If litigation were to happen, I am certain she would be a firey, capable, worthy advocate, but it says a lot that she would rather look out for you first. In the absolute worst time of my life, I did not expect to find a friend. Yet, she has become one. She also has a truly excellent recipe for Persian rice.

I could not have asked for a better outcome and more importantly a better lawyer. Mrs. Sharon Filipour is fantastic and is in my opinion the best divorce lawyer in North Virginia. My top reasons why Mrs. Filipour is the best choice for divorce proceedings: 1. My interests were her priority. I had some non-negotiable issues that she fought for and I was eventually awarded in the divorce settlement. She listened, she listened and then she listened more. She understood what was important to me in these proceedings and in the end I got what I most wanted... my kids. 2. She found a solution. After my initial meeting with her, she took all the emotionally charged narrative I provided her and put it into a simple plan. I left on day one with a clear understanding of the path forward to a fair and realistic resolution. 3. Unquestionable integrity. Kindly told me when I was wrong and gave me honest opinions which allowed me to form realistic expectations. 4. Incredibly intelligent. She navigated through the negotiations with ease and confidence. She was able to thoroughly assess the situation, find an appropriate response, and deliver the message effectively. Clearly this was not her first case.. 5. Cost effective and well worth every penny. Her rates are fair and she maximized her efforts and minimized my costs in the long run. My first lawyer was 3x times her cost who kept adding additional services like Private Investigators, mediators, requesting frivolous depositions, mental health counselors, and fee on top of fee for various services. I felt like I was being swindled. Mrs. Filipour, on the other hand, charged me for what was necessary and respected my financial situation. Best of all, I received a very positive outcome saving thousands, if not millions, of my future earnings. I respected that she never took advantage of my vulnerability by recommending third party solutions “I know a guy” or added costs because I communicated an opportunity. 6. She knows how to win. I was amazed at her ability to out wit and out maneuver the opposing lawyer. At times providing him solutions that he agreed with solely based on her delivery. It was incredible to watch her walk through this process so confidently and almost effortlessly. 7. She cares. She truly took an interest in my kids and I.

All I said is based on my personal experience with her for my divorce and child custody. Than you Sharon so sincerely.

Excellent job and i wish i had meet her before i got involved with 2 other, so called ???? Lawyers. She was able to help me in a very satisfying way in a very short time and i can recommend her anytime!

Sharon tries to help her clients, not to create a huge bill to charge them later. She is compassionate and caring. She is reasonable and fair. She does honest work. I have a lot of respect for her style of work. I was referred to see her through another attorney friend of mine. I was very lucky. Sharon, helped me with my divorce and charged me a flat reasonable fee to do this. I highly recommend her.

I wholeheartedly agree with the existing reviews in regards to Sharon's expertise and demeanor. She is fair, honest, realistic, warm and perceptive. Right from the start, her goal was to help me come out on the other side of this divorce with the ability to rebuild my life - NOT to spend needless amounts of time and money trying to inflict pain on the person whose decisions destroyed our family life. She was truly the calm throughout the most difficult time of my life and kept me focused on the most important parts of the case. 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. I had many friends and family members in the court room and each one of them commented to me about how outstanding she was in court. 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. If you have to go through "the worst", you might as well have "the best" by your side.

By chance I looked for and found Ms. Sharon Filipour about 6 years ago. She’s always the true attorney that I am asking for: kind, honest, professional, trustworthy, all in the top level. She took care of my problems like her own. The thing I most admire about Sharon is her kindness, her classy characters. She truly reminds me of Abraham Lincoln, an honest attorney that I read about. Today is November 24, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving 2021 and I bought a bouquet, coming to her office to show my gratitude to her, belatedly. Unfortunately her office is closed for the holidays but this gives me the chance to write this review which I almost never did on anything. I am forever grateful to her professional service

I trust Sharon. Sharon is a good, honest person in addition to being an excellent attorney and advocate. She is smart. She is persuasive. She knows the law. She has decades of experience. She knows the courts and the personalities of the judges. She understands people. I think she got the measure of me right away (in a good way). In the terrible time I needed her services, it was a great comfort to feel understood. I must admit that on two occasions, I was certain that my ex would do one thing and Sharon called things differently. She was right both times. Sharon comes across as a sweet grandmotherly type. She is. There is no "but..." Still, as you get to know her and see her in action, you also see just how shrewd, smart and tough she is. Sharon will clearly tell you the realities of how the system works, determine the best strategy and work tirelessly for you. You will soon realize that she genuinely cares about you as a person. Sharon works hard. She also works hard to keep your costs down. It would be to many attorney's advantage to always litigate. Because she cares about her client, she strives to keep them out of tens of thousands of dollars litigation costs. If litigation were to happen, I am certain she would be a firey, capable, worthy advocate, but it says a lot that she would rather look out for you first. In the absolute worst time of my life, I did not expect to find a friend. Yet, she has become one. She also has a truly excellent recipe for Persian rice.

I could not have asked for a better outcome and more importantly a better lawyer. Mrs. Sharon Filipour is fantastic and is in my opinion the best divorce lawyer in North Virginia. My top reasons why Mrs. Filipour is the best choice for divorce proceedings: 1. My interests were her priority. I had some non-negotiable issues that she fought for and I was eventually awarded in the divorce settlement. She listened, she listened and then she listened more. She understood what was important to me in these proceedings and in the end I got what I most wanted... my kids. 2. She found a solution. After my initial meeting with her, she took all the emotionally charged narrative I provided her and put it into a simple plan. I left on day one with a clear understanding of the path forward to a fair and realistic resolution. 3. Unquestionable integrity. Kindly told me when I was wrong and gave me honest opinions which allowed me to form realistic expectations. 4. Incredibly intelligent. She navigated through the negotiations with ease and confidence. She was able to thoroughly assess the situation, find an appropriate response, and deliver the message effectively. Clearly this was not her first case.. 5. Cost effective and well worth every penny. Her rates are fair and she maximized her efforts and minimized my costs in the long run. My first lawyer was 3x times her cost who kept adding additional services like Private Investigators, mediators, requesting frivolous depositions, mental health counselors, and fee on top of fee for various services. I felt like I was being swindled. Mrs. Filipour, on the other hand, charged me for what was necessary and respected my financial situation. Best of all, I received a very positive outcome saving thousands, if not millions, of my future earnings. I respected that she never took advantage of my vulnerability by recommending third party solutions “I know a guy” or added costs because I communicated an opportunity. 6. She knows how to win. I was amazed at her ability to out wit and out maneuver the opposing lawyer. At times providing him solutions that he agreed with solely based on her delivery. It was incredible to watch her walk through this process so confidently and almost effortlessly. 7. She cares. She truly took an interest in my kids and I. Offered solutions to dilemmas I faced while going through this emotionally draining situation. Very empathetic and just kind. She’s a truly wonderful and caring person. Mrs. Filipour is someone you want in your foxhole (I’m retired Army Officer) when you’re fighting for what is most important to you (your kids) and have everything you have worked for all your life on the line. She provided me exceedingly competent knowledge and insight in divorce case law and did so in a way that helped me tremendously in one of the most trying times in my life. I am forever grateful to Mrs. Filipour!

Sharon is a kind, compassionate and a highly skilled lawyer. The reviews that mention those attributes are certainly correct. Sharon cares about you and your family and works tirelessly to ensure good results. Sharon won my custody case where I, a full time working father, was awarded primary physical custody of my son, something she has a track for. That sold me and I'm glad I used Avvo to find her. Sharon is an excellent trial attorney with years of experience and graciously defeated the defense. Her demeanor and personality is unmatched and allows her to work to with opposing counsel and was praised by the judge in our case. She will explain the divorce and custody process to you and help you make decisions. She saves money and time by consulting with opposing counsel, offering cost saving solutions and working with you. If you care about your child then Sharon is THE attorney for you. And no she did not pay me to write this. She's truly a wonderful lady and attorney.

Sharon saved my life! She is fair, direct and very thorough. Sharon was able to take my very difficult case and stick with me through to the favorable outcome for me and my children. She understood the issues and was fair and demonstrates respect for all while doing the right thing in regard to the law. Sharon is an excellent communicator and is able to work with family members graciously and with heartfelt intent, keeping her client's best interests in mind but not trying to be self serving and she is very fair with fees and payments. She understands the emotional side and the financial implications and devastations of divorce. Without Sharon's expertise I would have been destitute. I cannot say enough good things about her and how she cared enough to help me. She was truly a godsend. I recommended her to others who asked me for a lawyer.

I'd had a TERRIBLE experience in Family Court over the last several years with loss after loss. I went through 2 different attorneys who only seemed concerned with billing and didn't take the time to really listen and to help me. After being fed up with attorneys acting like they were doing me a favor to work on my case for hundreds of dollars an hour, I hired Sharon with only a few days to go before a court proceeding. Right from the start, she was caring and knowledgeable and actually listened. She successfully argued for a continuance and was able to put together a winning strategy for court so, for once, I had a successful outcome. In preparing my case, it was not uncommon for me to get an email at 11:00 at night from Sharon saying, "what about this?" or "have you thought of this?" She obviously cares about the people she represents and genuinely wants to help. Her billing is extremely fair and she could have billed me for many hours of her time, both during work hours and after, but she chose not to out of the kindness of her heart. She has even helped me find a lawyer in another state to help me with a visitation matter. Also, she is very respectful to opposing counsel yet no nonsense. She will aggressively argue a point but be kind and reasonable at the same time. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING SHARON!

Sharon Filipour is simply an excellent and caring attorney. She listens very carefully to her client and makes a whole picture of the situation first. Then, she checks the chances of litigating versus agreement, a great way to save her clients money and time. Another fascinating aspect of Sharon Filipour's work is her warm and human way of thinking. I truly believe Sharon is a fantastic attorney and recommend her without any reservations whatsoever to other clients who might consider her as their attorney. Sharon never lets her clients alone.
