I'm a lawyer - though not a divorce lawyer - and was referred to Sharon by a former classmate. She came and cleaned up the mess my prior lawyer made more efficiently than I thought possible. Sharon did what a lawyer should do; She made me feel like it was going to be ok. And it was.

I hired Ms. Hoskins to assist me with my recent divorce. I feel extremely lucky to have been referred to her as she made an unbearable situation bearable. She possesses a warm and comforting demeaner which put me at easy immediately. Not having been thru this process before, I relied heavily on her knowledge and guidance. The process was fairly quick and I am satisfied with the outcome. Many thanks to her!

Mrs. Hoskins has helped me understand the laws of getting a divorce and also my rights for getting custody of my son. Her advice was fair and I would recommend Mrs. Hoskins for anyone who needs a divorce lawyer.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Sharon's work with me was her ability to help me stay calm and focused in the midst of my considerable emotional turmoil. Divorce lawyers are known for gouging vulnerable clients. This never occurred with Sharon. She would give clear advice ( about wasteful and unnecessary communications) but would always do what I'd ask. Her literary skills made my communications more effective and powerful than I could produce myself. Lastly, now that the divorce is concluded she turned out to be right about the few times I doubted her and I am grateful. I have and will continue to recommend her highly.

It was not the best situation, given the circumstances of a prenup that was strongly against me and her opposite number being a highly experienced, very ruthless lawyer (not to mention my ex's attitude and vastly greater financial resources). But I think Sharon did a great job and have and would recommend her again. In the end, though I didn't get the ideal outcome, what I got was a great deal better than I would have otherwise, I think. Also, I think she's a very honest person; very fair and will not bend things to her benefit. She will put you, the client, first and foremost.

Sharon is extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of explaining every aspect of matrimonial law and my case to me. She was very responsive and more importantly, sensitive to what I was going through. Matrimonial and family issues can be quite stressful and she not only resolved my case timely and efficiently, but also walked me through it with compassion.
