In search of legal representation, I utilized the Attorney Referral service provided by the…read moreKnoxville Bar Association. One would expect a thorough vetting process for the attorneys listed, but unfortunately, that was not the case here. I chose to engage Ronald J. Attanasio from Sharp & Attanasio. Upon our initial meeting, 'Ron' appeared to be quite personable and seemed committed to advocating for our interests to secure the funds that were rightfully owed to us, supported by ample documentation. This turned out to be a significant error in judgment. After he received his retainer fee, communication ceased entirely. We were left to interact with his paralegal, who performed her duties far more effectively than he did. When we inquired about the lack of sharing documented evidence we provided regarding the owed funds to the defendants' lawyer he reacted with anger and ceased all communication via calls or emails. We were compelled to send a certified letter to elicit any response, which ultimately came from the paralegal. 'Ron' failed to advocate on our behalf, allowing the defendant's attorney to dictate the terms, even though the defendant had acknowledged the debt, which was substantially more than what we received. Despite the clear admission of liability, 'Ron' exhibited a lack of initiative to pursue the matter. Given the challenges we faced with this seemingly inept attorney, we found ourselves unable to continue with our case and ultimately had to accept the settlement proposed by the opposing counsel. The next time I need an attorney; I'm going with the defendant's attorney!

He and his office are very…read moreorganized, professional, will make you feel like a priority, and will keep you up to date throughout the week. He listens to facts and concerns, and proves to make the next best moves each time. Mr. Sharp is consistently making the best choices to fight for my children and I. You must listen to his advice however, as you should any attorney, and he will lead you down the right path. You may not always like what he has to say, but it is the truth and you probably need to hear it if you are not versed with legal processes. This man has been around the block and he certainly knows what he is doing. If you see a bad review, it is more than likely coming from an individual who did not want to hear the truth, did not swallow their pride and listen, and/or did not want to understand how the law works regardless of being in the wrong or not. I would personally refer any friend, family member, or acquaintance to Steve Sharp.
