Dont waste your time
The positive reviews are not true! Sheridan is very rude, unprofessional and disrespectful. He does not care about helping you, only cares about taking your money. Stay away, there are better lawyers out there!

Positive reviews must be fake.
I think all the positive reviews are fake. He did nothing for my case except take my money.

Best lawyer ever!
From the moment I hired Mr. England to represent me in my case, I knew I was in capable hands. His professionalism and expertise were evident from our very first meeting.

Outstanding!
Mr. England exceeded every expectation! I can't even put into words how much I appreciate what he did for us during a difficult, confusing, and challenging time. Can't recommend him highly enough!!

Excellant Attorney
I was filing a case against the Army through the Federal Court of Claims by myself. Sheridan volunteered and stepped in and handled my case Pro Bono. He spent numerous hours fighting the Army, the Department of Justice as well as the Judges, all of them were delaying the case. He managed to get th...
Sheridan Leigh England's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. England is thorough, well-versed in civil law, and a great attorney."
"As a lawyer, Mr. England is a lawyer that I can depend on for strategy and other resources."
"Sheridan is a tremendous advocate for his clients. We worked on several matters together for joint clients and he strikes a great balance between aggressive advocacy and practical use of resources. He never shies away from a battle, but only engages in the battle if its worthwhile. He'd be a great choice if you're looking for legal counsel."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I recently consulted Attorney England regarding a complex civil matter. He displayed comprehensive knowledge of the particular issue and civil litigation in general. I’ve also had the opportunity to work as co-counsel on serious felony cases with Mr. England. He is poised, articulate, and quick on his feet. He thinks of creative solutions both through legal reasoning and practical arguments, to get the best results for his clients. I endorse this attorney!"
"Highly recommend. A fantastic trial lawyer with substantial litigation experience."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. England is aggressive, smart and extremely eloquent in his presentation. Highly recommend."
"I've actually had the privilege of watching this attorney argue a motion in the DC Superior Court. He is a zealous, thorough and remarkable attorney. He sets the standards very high for other attorneys."
"Sheridan is a knowledgeable, professional member of the Bar whose experience as a US Attorney and as a partner at a Big Law firm make him a formidable litigator. His exacting nature serves his clients well. He demands the best and will provide the best for his clients."
"I've had the pleasure of working with Sheridan on a six-figure litigation matter in Hudson County, NJ. I had the opportunity to observe Sheridan interact with our client, the presiding judge, and opposing counsel. Sheridan consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism, competence, and attention to detail that I would expect from a top notch litigator. I wouldn't hesitate to refer my clients to him for their litigation needs."
"I have been involved in, directly or on behalf of family, three legal matters: a mortgage contractual dispute, a civil action regarding real estate property and a personal injury matter. Litigation not being my practice, the matters were initially handled by established law firms. In all cases, I was amazed at the inefficient and unfocused practices that resulted in needless fees. So, I engaged Sheridan to help with the understanding and management of the cases and law firms. The resulting quick favorable resolution in each case was incredible. His experience at the DOJ and as an AUSA has developed his expertise to efficiently and effectively manage and prosecute complex cases from either a plaintiff or defendant perspective. I work at UHG (#14, Fortune 500). I was facilitating Sheridan’s engagement at my company, but he turned it down, preferring the freedom of choosing his clients and schedule. A win for clients, most solo practitioners have nowhere near his experience or expertise."
