Shari Jo Reich

Simply put don’t hire her. She was rude, abrasive and condescending. More often than not I left our conversations feeling insulted, talked down to and wondering who’s side she was on. She often was trying to turn a simple family court issues into a long drawn out expensive ordeal to run up the billab...le hours. She’s as pleasant as a porcupine. Don’t waste your money on this woman. There are plenty of better options.

Shari Jo comes to the table with decades of experience in matrimonial law, yet pays attention to every detail of the new cases she takes on. This combination of experience and attention to detail is extremely effective. In my situation, she was informed, prepared and strategic in every step of a leng...thy legal process. My advice would be trust her to do what she does best - handle matrimonial cases with expertise and conviction. She showed me that she genuinely believed in what is just and right, worked for just that and won.

S.J. is an amazing attorney and she is worth every single penny. My fiance has already written a review but he's not me. S.J. fought for me. I never lied to her, she is upfront and honest about everything. She worked after hours on my case and got back to me even when she was on her family vacations.... There simply are not words that could express how I feel or the thanks that I have for S.J. and her associates who worked on my case. I had no hope in the family court system, but S.J. kept my faith and hope. People who hire attorneys fail to realize that every person in this world will at some point receive a bad review, especially when things don't go there way. People fail to realize that if you want an amazing attorney, one who will fight tooth and nail for you, be brutally honest about everything whether or not it hurts your feelings, and so much more, you have to be willing to pay. The cost of an attorney doesn't always say how good or bad you will be represented, but from personal experience it matters some what. I have referred a few people to S.J. and her office. I will continue to do so anytime someone asks me if I know a good attorney. I HONESTLY COULD NEVER REPAY S.J. FOR BRINGING MY FAMILY BACK TOGETHER AND BRINGING THE TRUTH TO THE SURFACE. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Shari Jo Reich!!!

Sheri jo Reich is an outstanding professional, we recently went through a very disgusting vile custody battle that got entirely way out of control, Sheri jo told us all along no matter what to stick to our guns and always tell the truth, I will admit never going thru a custody battle I had no clue wh...at to expect and at times the other sides council would make these off the wall allegations that were so far fetched she may have well said I'm an alien. If your looking for a lawyer that will lie cheat and play dirty shes not for you. She is very honest and upstanding her character is of the highest standard. And with our not so impressive legal system it was very hard at times because you want someone to stand up and scream are you kidding me!!! But Sheri jo is like a master at chess she chooses her moves wisely and when the time is right like a heat seeking missile she hits her target, she often says I've been doing this for 27 yrs I know what I'm doing trust me. Well we did and I cannot ever ever ever thank her enough even though its hard to trust that something that you cannot control and is such a twisted system will ever turn out as it should she fights for it, and for the truth. She is the one that will fight for you day and night. Sheri jo is a godsend, and when your in trial with her it's just like watching one of those tv show lawyers, you think to yourself wow I'm glad she is my lawyer and I'm not on the other side of that. The moral of my story is if your reading this hire her you will not be disapointed. From the bottom of my heart words could never ever ever describe the debt of gratitude I owe you Sheri jo you've brought my family back together and got us through the worste possible nightmare that one could not ever even imagine. She's not just your average lawyer by any means a cut way above the rest!

I retained Shari Jo to handle a post-divorce custody petition. My ex-husband sued to change custody because I was moving to a new town with my new husband. I consulted other attorneys before retaining Shari Jo, and even had to fire my previous counsel because he did not give me the clear answers to q...uestions that I needed to move forward with my life and raise my children. Shari Jo did. From the first moment I consulted her she was up front with me about what I could expect, what would work, and what would not. She was confident, and everything that she said should happen in the case happened. She gave me different advice than some of the other attorneys I talked to, and in the end, her analysis was the correct one. I chose well. She is reputed as one of the best family law attorneys in Buffalo, and I would go as far as saying she is the best. The custody suit was the most emotionally difficult thing I have ever went through, much worse than my divorce. She did the only thing a lawyer can do in that situation: she had my back at every turn and won. The case resolved on even better terms than I had hoped or expected. Instead of losing time with my children, I received more time. She kept me informed at all times, was responsive to my inquiries, and fought for me and my children. She has my lasting gratitude.
