California Legal Counsel, APLC

Do not be fooled by her demeanor or her reviews. She will tell you everything you want to hear and play on your emotions to get you to retain her, but when it comes to advocating for you in court, she fails completely. She might even mention her son, for added sympathy. She produced zero defense for me, refused to fight, and acted completely biased against her own client. To make matters worse, she took my money, attempted to overcharge me with fees hoping I wouldn’t notice, and basically sided with the opposing party agreeing that I deserved false accusations in a deeply sensitive case. Additionally, her positive reviews are incentivized in exchange for favors and do not reflect her actual work. She had the opportunity to change the trajectory of my case and protect me, but instead, she took my money and abandoned me when I needed real representation. She is not for women, and she is not a competent attorney. Look elsewhere for real legal help.

Sharen was recommended by a friend to me. I was cautious at first since my first attorney didn’t seem to care about my case, so I told Julia I need to talk to the attorney myself before I sign anything and was expecting a couple days before I can even talk to the attorney. However, I got a call that same day at 7pm and after talking to Sharen decided to hire her. That pretty much shows how Sharen is, very efficient and will talk to you even when she’s busy. Ended up getting one count dropped and no suspension, which really helps since I do need my car to get around. Would recommend Sharen to those who need a criminal attorney that cares!

Exceptional Attorney and a Wonderful Team Who Truly Care! I am incredibly grateful to Mrs. Sharen Ghatten for supporting me through one of the most challenging times of my life. Facing my first DUI case with a 0.23 BAC left me deeply worried about my family, career, and future. From day one, she treated me with genuine compassion, respect, and understanding without ever judging me. Her extensive legal experience, confidence, professionalism, and remarkable courtroom presence truly impressed me and gave me tremendous confidence. She is not just an outstanding attorney but a wonderful human being who genuinely cares about her clients. A special heartfelt thanks to Julia for her incredible patience, kindness, prompt communication, and continuous support throughout this journey. Both Mrs. Sharen and Julia have gone above and beyond to guide me through every step, making me feel supported and reassured. Although my final hearing is still pending, I am extremely grateful for their dedication, hard work, and the progress we have made so far. I am taking responsibility for my mistake and working toward a better future. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for standing by me when I needed you most. I wholeheartedly recommend this amazing team!!!!!!!
