Effective | Experienced | Efficient
In today’s fast-paced world, lawyers must be agile, proactive, and pragmatic. Real property law is complex, whether dealing with residential or commercial transactions. Buying or selling a home is not only an emotional experience, but often the largest financial undertaking of a lifetime. Commercial deals, whether buying, selling, or leasing, typically focus on profitability and strategic growth. I earn my clients’ trust by applying a practical, results-oriented approach to their legal and business needs.
Whether working with multinational companies, small to midsized businesses, or individuals, I pride myself on delivering effective, efficient, and reasonably priced representation that is appropriate for each unique circumstance. With over 30 years of experience as a licensed attorney, including roles at three of the Northwest’s premier law firms and a five-year stint in direct real estate sales, I am uniquely equipped to provide the level of service that clients not only expect but deserve. My goal is to become a trusted and indispensable advisor for the duration of our business relationship.
“I have been a controller for a Seattle-based group of companies, both retail and real estate, for over 30 years. As our company has downsized over the last 10 years or so, we have gone through many changes including the retirement of our legal representatives. Several years ago, we had the pleasure of meeting John Sharp. With his knowledge of the law, integrity, and work ethic, he has made the transition seamless. No legal matter has ever been too small or not worthy of his time. Specifically, John has represented us in tenant negotiations, property listings, and many general business issues, and has always put our best interest first. He is patient, thorough, and explains the law well. It is without reservation that I recommend John, as he continues to demonstrate his worth as a smart, responsive, and a very effective legal and business advisor.”
