Law Office of Sharen Ghatan | Pasadena Criminal Attorney

When a family law case intersects with criminal allegations, choosing the right criminal defense attorney matters enormously. In Pasadena, the Law Office of Sharen Ghatan is who I recommend. Sharen is direct, smart, and incredibly attentive to the people she represents. The clients we've referred to her have talked about feeling truly heard and clearly prepared for each stage of the process, which is not always the case in criminal court. From my vantage point as COO of a California family law firm, having a Pasadena criminal attorney I can trust with those sensitive matters is invaluable.

I was distraught after an incident I did not know what to do I was frightened, worried had no clue where to get started or how everything works. I gave Sharen a call she didn't waste anytime her & her team met with me immediately the same day! Without batting an eyelash Sharen instinctively knew what I was going through I did not have to explain much she knew exactly what was going through my mind her intuition showed her experience in this field I was impressed by her instinct it is remarkable. I felt so relieved after meeting with her she covered every concern I had. Sharen doesn't mess around she gets down to business and was there to fight for me every step of the way. She is fearless and astute she didn't hesitate to fight on my behalf and takes every legal step necessary without leaving no stone unturned to assure the outcome is a success!

Sharen is a phenomenal advocate for her clients. Lawyers are always in need of dependable people to refer to when they are unable to handle a case, and I know I can count on Sharen to take a potential client and treat them as a VIP. If you are looking for a lawyer- look no further.

When a loved one was in need of an attorney, being led to Michele was a gift. She is one of the most personable attorneys that you can meet, someone you feel like you have been friends with for years. Her courtroom presence and trial tactics are so professional and remarkable. So much so, that as we stood briefly in the hallway during a short break, a woman approached us and apologetically interrupted us to ask Michele for her name and number. This woman had a hearing to follow us, and she was so impressed with Michele's abilities and courtroom tactics, that she told us she was going to ask the judge for a continuance so that she could contact Michele for her services. Thank you, Michele, for such dedication and support during this process. Conclusion... we won the case!

I was looking to hire an attorney for my father who got into some legal trouble. Michele came highly recommended to me and she was very prompt in responding to my needs. My father is really difficult and stubborn and I was worried that he might be too much to handle or that she would not want to take the case after meeting him. Michele was very professional and quick to respond to all of our questions. The outcome that she came to with the DA was far better than I expected. At no point in time did she ever make my family feel like we were overwhelming her. Without her to guide us through this process, we would have been totally overwhelmed. Her office is very warm and personable. She will take the time to sit with you and answer any questions you might have.
