Ostertag O'Leary Barrett & Faulkner

Reviews: “This firm and particularly Maura Barrett represented me in my divorce years ago and again when I remarried. She was friendly and helpful throughout the process and I cannot say enough good things about her and the firm. Highly recommend.” “After two separate recommendations for this particular firm, I decided to pursue possible representation. I called three separate times over the course of three weeks (Left a message with someone in the office and left two on the answering machine). I have never received a response. Baffled.” “Maura is the best I have seen. She cares, listens and has a lot of understanding of how hard it is to go through a divorce. I also call her the Pitbull as she will fight for you and make sure you are protected as best as she can. I'll add she is a great lawyer and super smart. SC A+++++. I asked her what makes you such a great lawyer. She told me she looks at both sides of the coin. She is always thinking of her client. 100% recommended her if you should ever need a GOOD attorney!” “OMG. This lady is terrible. Maura Barrett is incompetent lawyer. She does not prioritize her clients needs at all. She came off nice at first but she can’t handle a simple separation case or a divorce. She you need to find someone else that has the time she said in the middle of the case that your case would be better with someone else. I thought I was in a bad dream looking at this lady in my case. She is always going to court and will not call you back. I paid her money for the retainer and that was it. I called about 3 times and never called back. Not worth my time or money.” “Sharon Faulkner has guided me through the difficult and emotional divorce/family court process for over ten years. She is the best of the best. Knowledgeable, experienced, collaborative, compassionate, responsive, detailed, and kind. She and her office are well organized, and they are very well respected amongst the legal community in Dutchess County. She never made the mistake to have my and my kids best interests at heart. Also, Sharon took great care and always conducted herself in a calm and professional manner. Also, Sharon has fought my very difficult court battles and won. I trust her very much.” “I would highly recommend the firm and particularly Maura Barret to anyone who is looking for dedicated, hard working, knowledgeable attorney. My previous attorney retired in the middle of my case and that’s when Maura, who was recommended, took over my case. I was really not looking forward to the divorce process but Maura has been great and I wish I was referred to her from the beginning. Thanks, you are a great attorney Maura.” “Maura is the best attorney out there. Maura Barrett has been just nothing but professional. She has been representing me for the past 5 years now and has been nothing but amazing. She is very good at what she does and has made me feel comfortable and has put me at ease through the entire process. I would not recommend anyone else but Maura Barrett if anyone ever finds the need for an attorney to represent them in family court. Thank you.” “Sharon Faulkner is a compassionate and devoted attorney. She has been able to provide me with professional legal care for my family court case for over 10 years. She is very passionate about her work and was always responsive and diligent. The results I got from Sharon were very fair and she is very well respected in the Dutchess County courts. She has always been very caring and would always show compassion for me and my kids, and she will always tell you her personal opinion based on her many years of experience. Trust her as she has been there for all my needs for the past 10 years and Sharon is the best of the best in the courts.” “Sharon Faulkner is a knowledgeable, detailed official very detailed and has a great sense of understanding all cases. She always had a great understanding of my best interests when we visited court and always kept me up to date with my case. Sharon has always been a great attorney when it comes to getting me very acceptable court results for me and my children. She is always well respected when we go to court. She always is able to tell me her personal opinion and always was very respectful my families incidences within the courts. She is very well organized when we filed documents and always had a very detailed understanding of family court and always knew what to do. I would highly recommend her and her legal team as they make a great team.”
