About Sharon
Sharon DeFala has built a steady legal career centered in Connecticut. She practices in the state and maintains an active presence in the local legal community. Colleagues describe her as a pragmatic attorney who prefers to let results speak for themselves.
DeFala’s path into law began with an undergraduate degree from the University of Connecticut, where she earned a B.A. in English in 1987. She continued her studies at Lewis & Clark Law School and received her J.D. in 1992. Those years shaped her approach to legal writing and analysis, skills she has applied throughout her career.
After completing law school, DeFala established herself in Connecticut’s legal scene. She holds current membership in the State Bar of Connecticut. That affiliation has kept her connected to developments in state law and to the wider network of practitioners in the region.
Her professional life includes work at the Law Offices Gary Oberst A Professional Corporation. There she has been involved in the day-to-day work of client representation and case management. Her role at the firm reflects steady practice rather than public profile; much of her work comes through client referrals and established professional relationships.
DeFala’s practice involves advising clients, preparing legal documents, and representing individuals in proceedings that arise under Connecticut law. She approaches cases with attention to detail and an emphasis on clear communication. Her training in English has informed the careful drafting and editing that her files typically show.
Outside of the courtroom, she participates in routine practice matters that keep a firm running: client consultations, case planning, and coordination with other counsel when cases require multiple specialties. These tasks form the backbone of her day-to-day legal work.
Over the years she has remained a steady presence in Connecticut’s legal circles. She balances advocacy and counsel, helping clients understand options and the likely course of proceedings. She currently practices law in Connecticut at the Law Offices Gary Oberst A Professional Corporation.
