About

Sharon Corsentino is a highly respected mediator and arbitrator, recognized as a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator by the Texas Mediator Credentialing Association. This honor reflects her deep commitment to excellence and decades of experience helping people resolve conflict with dignity and clarity.

Sharon added mediation to her practice after more than ten years as a collaborative law practitioner and litigator handling complex family law, probate, and guardianship cases. In 2016, she made the full-time transition to mediation, and since then, has successfully mediated more than 1,200 cases across Texas, including in Dallas, Denton, Collin, Tarrant, and Rockwall Counties

Her mediation practice covers a broad range of legal issues—from high-conflict divorces with intricate asset division or custody disputes, to guardianship, child custody modifications, landlord-tenant conflicts, debt collection, and probate matters. She is also an arbitrator and serves on the panels for the National Center for Dispute Settlement and the Texas Comptroller’s Property Tax Arbitration Program.

At the core of Sharon’s work is a deep belief in the power of self-determination. She helps individuals and families find meaningful, lasting solutions—crafted by the people most impacted, not imposed by a court. Her calm, non-adversarial approach often leads to creative and practical resolutions, even in the most emotionally charged situations.

Sharon’s professional training includes a 40-hour civil and 24-hour family mediation certification (completed in 2008), as well as specialized training in domestic violence (2017). She stays active in the field through continuing education and frequently shares her insights as a speaker at local, state and national dispute resolution conferences.

Licensed to practice in all Texas state courts, the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Eastern Districts of Texas, and the U.S. Supreme Court. 

Education and leadership in the ADR community are important to Sharon.  She was an adjunct professor at the University of North Texas and El Centro College in their respective alternative dispute resolution programs teaching both the family law mediation course and the civil mediation course.  Currently, Sharon serves as Secretary of the State Bar of Texas Alternative Dispute Resolution Council and was the course co-chair for the Advanced Alternative Dispute Resolution Course in 2024 and 2025.

Her volunteer work includes regular mediation for the Dallas County Dispute Resolution Center and Denton County ADR Program, and mentoring future mediators by judging regional and national mock mediation competitions. She remains an active member of the Dallas, Collin, and Denton County Bar Associations, having chaired the Dallas Bar ADR Section and currently serving on the Collin County ADR Section Board.

Whether resolving a contentious family matter or a complex civil dispute, Sharon brings compassion, clarity, and over a decade of focused experience to every mediation room.
