Sheri S. Padernacht

After hiring her, she did absolutely nothing to advocate for us and became extremely rude. Initially, she comes across as caring and genuine, but once she secures your business, she stops responding—forwarding calls and ignoring every concern or inquiry. She caused unnecessary last-minute issues, ...such as triggering a fire alarm and then dismissing it as “just the way things are.” To make matters worse, she even insulted us at the closing table. If you’re looking for an attorney who will do nothing beyond filling in a generic contract template, this is the one for you. Otherwise, stay far away.

Sheri was my lawyer for the sale of our house in Westchester. She was very organized and explained everything very clearly. The closing went smoothly and there were no issues at all. Sheri communicated clearly , explained the process and provided all documentation in an organized and efficient mann...er. I highly recommend her!

I cannot recommend Sheri Padernacht highly enough! From start to finish, she made the entire process of selling my mother’s home seamless and stress-free. Sheri demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail, ensuring every aspect of the transaction was handled with care.... She was always available to answer my questions, explain complex legal terms, and provide sound advice, making me feel confident and supported every step of the way. Thanks to Sheri, what could have been a complicated and overwhelming experience turned out to be smooth and straightforward. If you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate real estate attorney, look no further!

At the recommendation of my realtor, I hired Sheri last spring. A friend asked me today if I could recommend a lawyer and it all came back to me. I told him about the degrading experience and he suggested that I post a review. Good idea. When I hired Sheri over the phone she was very nice. On ...the day of the closing she was very nice. Everything in between was a disaster. I would call her with questions and my calls would go unanswered. She doesn't have a secretary. When she would speak to me, she would be insulting, talk down to me and would not explain processes to me. She was always too busy and acted as though I was a burden. When you hire an attorney for such a large transaction, they should be available to answer questions and let you know what is next and what to expect. I did not expect her to be available 24-7, but to answer the occasional phone call and not to be rude and insulting. We closed and everything eventually was fine, but the process was awful and I know that this is not the way an attorney should behave. If she can't afford a paralegal, maybe she should find another line of work. Do not use. Terrible experience.
