I was referred to Sharen by a private investigator I hired regarding a dog attack. Within hours I was on the phone with Sharen and her staff preparing our course of action to recoup medical and damages. She was sharp, articulate, and extremely effective. Within weeks I was able to settle the claim and put the issue behind us. In the course of dealing with this, I made a new friend and got a new attorney. Sharen is a fantastic person and very effective. I would highly recommend her-

I have a family friend you got into an accident and I referred him to Sharen! He had a fantastic experience. Sharen and her team are responsive and provide regular updates to the case. I wouldn’t recommend any other PI attorney - Sharen is the best and got him a huge settlement!!!

Sharen has been helping me with a difficult case and really helped ease my anxiety about all of it. So knowledgeable and explains everything very well. She helped another friend of mine as well and he had the same experience. The most important thing to me is being updated and managing my expectations and she has an instinct to know how to answer my questions and give me the info I need to process it all in my head and feel comfortable. A plus.

I'm a lawyer myself (Intellectual Property) and I've been practicing for 42 years. In that time I have referred personal injury cases to a number of lawyers (before I met Sharen at California Legal Counsel) and she is by far the best personal injury lawyer I have encountered. Last year I referred her a case in which a young man on an e-bike was hit by a driver making a left turn in front of him, causing him serous injuries. The case was just settled and given all of the circumstances, Sharen got a significantly better result than I expected when I gave her the referral (policy limits). I also referred another case to her last year at about the same time in which the elderly mother of one of my clients was severely injured in an auto accident, and Sharen just settled that case too, also for policy limits. I can't recommend her highly enough, and I note that she also does criminal defense.

I had a fantastic experience working with Sharen! Sharen was incredibly helpful every step of the way and took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly. It’s clear she is very experienced in her field—her insights and guidance made a real difference. I truly appreciated Sharen’s professionalism, patience, and dedication. Highly recommend!

Sharen Ghatan is a force of nature — bold, brilliant, and unapologetically effective. Her larger-than-life presence is matched only by her relentless determination to get results. Sharen doesn’t just advocate; she commands attention and drives outcomes, all while maintaining an approach that’s refreshingly direct and no-nonsense. It’s rare to see someone navigate high-stakes matters with such power and precision while still remaining deeply likable and grounded. As a fellow attorney, I have nothing but admiration for the clarity, passion, and effectiveness Sharen brings to her practice. She earns respect, and she deserves it.

I wouldn’t believe these reviews at all. I had the worst experience. I spoke to my lawyer a total of maybe 3 times in something like 16 months. Everytime I had questions I was directed to the legal aids. After my lawyer sent me to this hole in the wall medical clinic to get evaluated which was disgusting and littered with bugs and exposed wires, it was clear she recommended a place that she had a connection with that would most likely work with her to get the bills up for her case. I said this would not work, so she sent me to a “posh” clinic as she put it. I was hit by a car while skateboarding, landing me in the hospital with scrapes and bruises all down my legs, leaving me out of work for weeks. After 16 months I finally got a check for $1,000.

I would NOT recommend this lady or team. Please look somewhere else. Doubt she will even let this review stay posted so I might be wasting my time but it’s worth it.

Sharen did a wonderful job helping a family member through a difficult situation. We were able to work with her on this dire matter even though we were over 3,000 miles away. I highly recommend her for any criminal or civil case. I would also like to acknowledge her terrific staff for giving us the personal touch that helped us handle the matter more effectively. There is no need to go elsewhere if you need an excellent service from a terrific lawyer.
