When I first met with Tara I was scared, confused, worried and didn't know what I was going to do. Tara calmly spoke with not only myself but, my dad. I hired Tara with full confidence in her. She's done an amazing job thus far and I know I will be ok. Tara is caring, thoughtful, kind and respectful. I have nothing but good things to say. And all though my case is still ongoing I know she will do an amazing job getting my children and I what we deserve.

My divorce is now over!!! FINALLY!!! Tara and Chris are absolutely phenomenal. I walked away from my ex-husband with more than what i expected. Both lawyers had my kids and my best interests at heart. Chris came in to my divorce very late in the game but, he sat with me and talked me though everything such as custody of my kids which was always the #1 thing. I appreciate Tara and Chirs for all their hard work, their dedication to my case, I know they are both very busy but, my kids and I didn't fall through the cracks when it came to them. If I ever need a lawyer in the future it will most definitely be Sharp and Associates. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts.

Tara has helped me fight for custody of my daughter for years. In the beginning I felt helpless. She helped me to be patient and assured me that the truth would come out, as it has. Im a person who isn’t well versed in the legal world, but I’ve always been well guided by Tara. I’ve always recommended her to all of my friends and family. I recommend her to you all as well

I have nothing, but good things to say of Sharp and Storm & Associates. Tara Sharp was my representation during my divorce, she was always very kind, courteous, and to the point, and she was always willing to ablige to my concerns during the divorce. The divorce itself, was absolutely a gutting experience for me, but I think that when you say your vows you never expect or hope for it to come to that...unfortunately it does at times, and in my case it did and I am irrevocably Grateful to Tara, for her Incredible demeanor, stature and help to me during the whole process. She isn't in this for the money, She actually cares and puts her heart into it all. I would want her as my attorney, if ever needed again.

I retained Tara and Alicia to help me navigate the issue of divorce. I filed for divorce after a series of circumstances involving domestic violence against me.

I mainly dealt with Alicia on the divorce side, but I was ultimately served with a personal protection order which my wife requested. The PPO was rather unusual because I was the victim of domestic violence, and my wife was the one being charged.

Tara took on the PPO with my assistance. We held a hearing and she was very good inside the court room and pointed out the flaws in the PPO, and proved it was frivolous. The judge saw this and terminated the PPO, making it explicitly clear that if my wife was scared of me because I was simply upset because of the things she had done, that it was too bad.

I have nothing but good things to say about both Tara and Alicia. They treat you like a human, rather than a paycheck.

I have been a client of Tara sharp for at least 10 years. She has handled all my criminal cases. She’s has always been there for me. In my worst times. In which are a lot. Trouble seems to find me but Tara has always been there to represent me. Like last year I got a DUI in May 2017 an she got it lowered to impaired driving with no probation plus got the bethalizer refusal ticket dismissed. I recently got 3 bad charges this last May 2018 that I ended up in jail for. She ended up getting two of the charges dropped an the 3rd charge I’m on a delayed sentence for to complete counseling to get it even lower to just a fine. The most recent I just got a complaint for a bond violation an that if it wasn’t for Tara I’d be in jail right now but she kept me out. There are more charges I’ve got in the past that Tara has got dismissed. Tara sharp is the best of the best an will go above an beyond for her clients. I always recommend her to everyone who gets themselves in hard spot. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me. If you need a excellent attorney use Tara Sharp!

Tara represented me in a Child Support/custody case. She took the time to hear my complete situation and gather all necessary information to represent me the best in court. I had hired an different attorney previously that did a less than desirable job. Tara was great. She was able to correct the mistakes the previous attorney made and was always on top of following through with changes to my situation. She was able to work out a great solution for my needs. I was very happy with the outcome and the work she did. She had a lot of personal issues going on during the time but she never let it affect me or the work she was doing for me. She is a true professional and very understanding to her clients needs. I would recommend her in a second!

Chris's name was given to me by a mutual friend who described Chris as an intelligent lawyer with an athlete’s competitive spirit. Chris was a wonderful representative of calm preparedness during what became a lengthy court process. I so appreciated his knowledge, his calming presence, and his polite and respectful attitude in the courtroom, and outside of it. He helped me to stay focused on the larger picture, and he worked on my case in a caring and timely manner.

TARA HAS REPRESENTED ME WITH MY DIVORCE BACK IN 2013... DID A FANTASTIC JOB. SHE'S CARES ABOUT YOUR FAMILIES WELL BEING AS SHE IS WITH HER FAMILY.. LISTENS TO AND UNDERSTANDS YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES AS TO WHAT YOU WANT HER TO DO UNDER HER KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW.. EFFICENT IN EVERY ASPECT OF HER JOB AS AN ATTORNEY..TARA IS NOW REPRESENTING ME IN A MINOR CRIMINAL ACT THAT I MISTAKENLY GOT MYSELF INTO.. I'M CONFIDENT IN HER AND HER ASSOCIATE REPRESENTING ME. JUST AS IF MATLOCK HIMSELF WAS MY ATTORNEY.... SINCERELY YOURS.....

We hired Tara a few years back for two separate custody cases. She has no morals nor conscience. Unreliable is a complete understatement! She claimed she was having health issues and she even did a no call no show on our final court date for one case. Needless to say, we lost both cases. She spent very little time on our cases and never kept her word. She could have very well sent a sub to cover her that day. She didn't even offer credit for that, she had her hand out and had the nerve to say we used all our funds and needed to pay more.

we went through 2 other lawyers before finding Tara, It took awhile but we finally got the custody of my daughter, Tara was fantastic and kept us up to date and in the loop every step of the way. I would highly recommend her for any legal issues

Tara was very knowledgeable and handled my case thoroughly and efficiently. If I ever had a question about my case she was always available by email or text message.

Very difficult to get any updates or information during my divorce. Countless emails to her went unanswered and everyone in the office seemed uninterested in my communication difficulties. Wish I had gone elsewhere...probably would have had the same outcome but without the added stress of the lack of communication.

Discovered another problem with my divorce judgement. The provision for my name change was not included and has to be submitted separately to judge. This correction was requested over a week ago and still no correction made to my knowledge.

I couldnt have found a better attorney to help me with my custody problems. Tara has done an outstanding job representing me and has helped me through one of the worst nightmares of my entire life. I highly recommend Sharp and Associates to represent you for family/custody issues or whatever you need representation for.

I hired Tara for a simple enforcement of Judgment of Divorce I was being sued for. I paid 2,000 and could not even get a hard copy of my order mailed to me or an itemized bill. After numerous phone calls and texts I still got nothing in the mail. Do yourself a favor and hire another attorney.

Attorney Sharp's professional approach to my case put me at ease. Even at my lowest points, her and her staff took the time to explain the process. I can't begin to recommend this law firm enough. You will not be disappointed with Attorney Sharp and how hard she works for her clients.

Tara represented me in my custody case. I won sole physical custody of my daughter. Tara is knowledgeable and gets things done the right way. I am very grateful to her!

Tara was a joke. Did NOT have the back bone and expertise needed to defend me when it came down to it. The opposing attorney made her look completely incompetent when in fact she was. She failed to show when court ordered and in fact twice i was at court without my attorney. Once she went to wrong court and 2nd she filed the wrong paperwork to have it postponed. She agreed to do my case for a set fee then repeatedly harrassed me for money refusing to work on my case or even talk to me unless i paid her more. I did most of the work on my case myself including contacting and subpoenaing witnesses. I've filed a complaint with the attorney grievance committee due to her blatant unprofessional and unethical conduct in my case.

I saw Ms. Sharp when things got so bad with my husband who was turning my friends and family against me, that I felt I needed an advocate on my side as soon as I could, I picked the wrong place... After the consultation I paid her the $3,000 retainer fee so that I could have legal representation before I had to endure another day returning home alone, but I was still heart broken and not positive I wanted to file. Later in the day Ms. Sharp texted me saying "I think he's really going to fight, I think I'll need $5,000.." (I ignored this text)… I had told my husband I had gotten a lawyer but didn't say who.. In the next few days it was obvious he had gotten a lawyer but wasn't admitting it, I told him "you're going to go retain a lawyer anyday, why don't you just admit we're over?", he said "where do you get these ideas?!?..".... well 3 hours later I got a text from Tara saying He had shown up and was about to retain her services, so apparently my instincts weren't so bad after all... my husband came back and tried to play it like a joke "ahh funny story remember that lawyer you said you met...".... yeah, we separated after that... Either way, it seemed to me that she had been giving him advice prior to her realizing that this the man I would be divorcing.. (there were reasons I suspected this, she was also friends with someone on my facebook page, my daughter's babysitter.. who was causing problems between me and my husband, another conflict of interest...in retrospect POSSIBLY she should have recused herself and not been my lawyer??).. , she denied it, but I knew... he was following legal advice from someone, and then all that happened... so that led to the worst year of my life, with none of the people that were supposed to be advocating for me actually on my side... So after losing just about everything, I went into hiding, got therapy, found a man that keeps me safe and makes me happy and actually is on my side... I didn't ask for a penny from my ex for alimony, I just wanted to be free... that was the best decision I made... i'm away from bad people.. selfish ex-husbands, and selfish bad lawyers that couldn't check for conflicts of interest......

Our family had a very difficult case and Tara got us through it. This was not a typical case and there were times when we didnt know what was going to happen. Tara assured us that she would do everything she could to help us. Tara went above and beyond to provide the judge with case law and the facts he needed to make the correct decision. It was a very long process and took 2 court dates but we won our case.

Tara is an excellent attorney, she always goes above and beyond. I know when I have a problem she will always be available to help me. My only regret with Tara is that she was not my first attorney. I can not speak highly enough about her ability as a lawyer and the type of person she is.
