About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Sharman attended Regent University School of Law, earning her Juris Doctor in 2005 after beginning law study in 2002. She completed the formal legal education that led to a career based in Virginia law. The law school years established the foundation for a courtroom and client-facing practice.
She launched her professional career in 2005 as an associate at Pagano & Associates, PC. That role introduced her to the day-to-day demands of representing clients and handling filings, hearings and negotiations. In 2011 she moved to Coates & Davenport, PC, where she expanded her courtroom experience and continued to work on contested matters. In 2014 she joined Bowen Ten Cardani, PC, and has been listed there as a lawyer since that year.
Her professional affiliations reflect an emphasis on local legal networks. She has been a member of the Henrico Bar Association since 2014. She served as vice president of the Metro Richmond Family Law Bar Association for the 2018–2019 term. Those roles placed her in regular contact with other family law practitioners and with the procedural and policy issues that affect family court practice in the Richmond region.
Throughout her time in private practice she has handled matters that are commonly heard by family courts. She has participated in contested hearings, negotiated settlements and prepared court submissions. She also works on ancillary matters that often arise alongside domestic relations cases. Her career path has kept her engaged in the practical work of litigation and client counseling rather than in academic or purely transactional work.
Colleagues describe her as a steady presence in case management and courtroom scheduling. She favors clear preparation and adherence to local rules. Her background across several Richmond-area firms informs how she approaches case strategy and client discussions. She has moved through small and mid-sized firm environments, carrying experience from one setting to the next.
As of 2026 she is licensed to practice in Virginia and maintains her office at Bowen Ten Cardani, PC. Her current practice concentrates on family law and the types of civil matters that commonly arise alongside domestic relations cases.
