Major: Mass Communication Studies
Sharona approaches the attorney-client relationship in a refreshingly atypical manner, especially when compared to big firms. Sharona becomes deeply familiar with all aspects of the client’s business including its operations, pre-existing obligations and staff. In this way, Sharona eliminates much of the need to relay information among multiple lawyers, paralegals and assistants, and these efficiencies are reflected in much lower legal bills.
This way, clients receive the focused attention of a dedicated and experienced “in-house” general counsel without the expense of employing an attorney full-time. Sharona remains ready to help clients year after year with matters that are routine and unusual, whether called upon to do so numerous times a week, once or twice a month, or a few times a year. Sharona makes herself available for her clients seven days a week, as she understands the urgency related to intellectual property matters.
Sharona currently serves as "Of Counsel" to the law firm, Citron & Deutsch.
