Sharnelle wise, paralegal

Sharnelle was born and raised on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. She graduated from the University of Hawaii, where she earned a B.A. in Philosophy with a minor in U.S. History. She went on to obtain her J.D. from the University of Hawaii’s William S. Richardson School of Law. She is admitted to practice law in both Hawaii and California. 

Relocating to Colorado in 2019, Sharnelle brings with her a wealth of legal experience, having practiced for many years as an attorney in both California and Hawaii in the areas of corporate law and family law litigation. Now, as she embraces her role with us, Sharnelle's focus has shifted towards Trust and Estate planning, blending her legal acumen with her genuine interest in securing the futures of our clients and their loved ones. Her transition from attorney to Paralegal/Legal Assistant is driven by her dedication to nurturing her family during this phase of life. Sharnelle finds immense fulfillment in balancing her professional pursuits with the joys of motherhood and family, cherishing the moments she spends with her husband and their two young children. Outside of her professional and family life, Sharnelle volunteers her time as a pro-bono attorney with the Denver Bar Association’s Metro Volunteer Lawyers, offering her legal expertise to those in need and contributing to the community in meaningful ways. 

In her free time - whenever she can find it - Sharnelle enjoys exploring new destinations with her family, getting lost in the pages of a good book, and expressing herself through the art of dance.  

With her diverse background, Sharnelle is an asset to our team, enriching our firm with her expertise and enthusiasm for the law and life alike.
