Sharon R. Meisler, Esq.

Senior Partner

When I joined with Anita to form AMS Law, P.C. in 2015, I had already established myself in criminal law, juvenile law, and appeals. I began my career as an assistant public defender for Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. During this time, I learned more about the legal system than anyone can learn in law school. This type of on-the-job training prepared me for my role at AMS Law, P.C.

I have been a practicing lawyer since 1985, and have a straightforward approach that benefits my clients. I work tirelessly for everyone that I represent, ensuring that they get the best representation possible.

I don’t sugar coat the situation or tell my clients what they want to hear. Instead, I form partnerships with my clients by being honest and forthright. I prepare them for what is to come and work like a bulldog for the best possible outcome.
