A little about Sharon...
Attorney Sharon Oberst DeFala is known as “the Divorce Attorney with a Heart,” and honestly… that says a lot right there. Because when people think about divorce, they don’t usually think about compassion, healing, or calm energy—but Sharon has built her practice around exactly that. She focuses on mediation, helping people navigate one of life’s most emotionally charged transitions with greater peace, dignity, and humanity. And what makes her approach even more fascinating is that Sharon is also a Reiki Master—bringing mindfulness, intuition, and grounded emotional support into her work in a way that’s both refreshing and deeply needed.

Testimonials
I am forever grateful for you, Sharon. I don’t know many people who are able to mediate a divorce with a couple married for 33 years in 4 months with divorce finalized in 5 months! I am still amazed at how you were able to think creatively so both of our most important needs were met and allow us to come to compromises that we could live with. When I tell people how much we spent on our divorce and how fast it was, they are in disbelief. The girls and I are doing great. They have adjusted to the divorce and we are starting to create new traditions. - Divorce Mediation Client
Sharon is the epitome of a true professional! Her knowledge of the law, valuable insights and timely, attentive responses to my communications were greatly appreciated. She went ABOVE and beyond to be of assistance to me on every level and I am most grateful. Without hesitation I highly recommend Sharon! Additionally, several years ago, I had the distinct pleasure of also working with her father, Gary Oberst, on a case. Again, I received phenomenal legal counsel! I can't thank the two of them enough for working with me. - Divorce Client
