About
I became a personal injury attorney because I love being in a courtroom for trial and I love helping people get compensated when they are harmed by other people’s negligence. I was admitted to the New York and Connecticut Bars in 1988, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern and Southern Districts in 1989, and the United States Supreme Court in 1998. I attended the College of New Rochelle and received a B.A. degree, cum laude, in 1983. I went on to Pace University School of law and received my JD in 1988.

I hired Sharon Scanlan and her firm to represent me in connection with a bad fall I took in a defective parking lot last year. I honestly did not expect that my case could be litigated quickly because of COVID and the Court shutdowns but Sharon and her firm were able to prosecute my case including getting an expert during these tough times. From day one Sharon made me feel at ease and assured me that my rights would be protected. I was so pleasantly surprised when she was able to resolve my case so fast. I recommend Sharon for any case any time.
Sharon was a gem. Very professional and informative. Always willing to go the extra mile I would not hesitate to use Sharon and Finkelstien and partners in the future
I was so fortunate to have Sharon Scanlan from Finkelstein & Partners as my trial attorney. I had a bad fall at a restaurant on a defective step and shattered my leg. If it were not for Sharon I would never have won my case. She was a tiger in the Courtroom but was also so compassionate. If I ever again need a lawyer I would hire Sharon Scanlan. Simply the Best !!
Sharon Scanlan was my trial attorney at the firm. I can’t begin to explain how amazing she was. She explained everything to me and fought so hard when I testified and I felt so protected from the defense attorney because Sharon was with me. Best attorney ever ! Even during Covid.
My accident was quite serious and I was very fortunate to have Sharon Scanlan and her personal team on my case for a Tramatic Brain Injury. It was a very serious accident as i was hit by a negligent driver and suffered greatly. Sharon was a serious and expedient attorney, paying close attention to me and my case on a weekly/monthly basis. She had extremely smart suggestions for me during the process and STERLING lawyering during the case. She was able to settle it without going to trial and waiting a possible 2 more years for a decision. My settlement was superior and I could not have been happier with her expert professionalism and sensitive nature. Was a fantastic team all around. Especially , all this happening during this crazy time in the economy and health issues. I was blessed to have had them on my side.
Sharon recently represented me in my personal injury lawsuit and was able to secure an excellent settlement with a highly favorable outcome without going to trial. Her compassion and dedication were very evident throughout, and I feel incredibly lucky that she was my attorney. Despite the virtual nature of my case due to Covid-19 circumstances and travel restrictions, she handled my case beautifully and ensured that I felt comfortable and well represented throughout the proceedings. I could not have asked for a better experience and a better attorney – she has helped me tremendously and truly went above and beyond! Many thanks, Sharon!
I contacted Sharon after a car accident when it became apparent that I might have permanent damage. She was amazing! She was sympathetic to my pain and suffering yet matter of fact and realistic during our discussions regarding my case. A perfect balance of professionalism! I would recommend Sharon to anyone who needed a personal injury lawyer. She's wonderful!
I suffered a violent slip and fall on an icy New York sidewalk. EMS took me to a hospital where I stayed for one week. Underwent Kyphoplasty surgery. Rehab. How lucky was I to have Sharon Scanlan handling my slip/fall case? Very lucky. As a seasoned trial attorney she is fearless. But my case never got to trial and was settled soon after my deposition. Why? Ms. Scanlan did gladiatorial battle against three attorneys while maintaining cool control. Yet played hardball when necessary (which was every five minutes). She was sweet and compassionate and fought my case like a mother lion defends her cub. Professional every step. Waited four years for the case to conclude successfully. Hire this woman.
My trial attorney Sharon Scanlan was amazing on my case. When we went to Court it seemed that she knew everyone and was really well liked. At my deposition she was really firm with the other lawyer but I was glad because I was really injured. Ms Scanlan Is a kind person and a great lawyer. I would trust her with any case my family would have.
Ms. Scanlan did a great job on my case. I was very nervous for the deposition and she took all the time I needed to not only calm me down, but empower me to do a great job. She also did an awesome job in negotiating my case so I got everything I was entitled to without having to go to trial.
