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. He took the time to thoroughly understand the details of my situation, listening attentively to my concerns and addressing each on...e with care. Throughout the entire legal process, Mr. England demonstrated an impressive attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. He was incredibly diligent in his preparation, leaving no stone unturned in building a strong case on my behalf. Not only was Mr. England highly skilled in the courtroom, but he also had a remarkable ability to negotiate and communicate effectively with all parties involved. He remained composed under pressure and always advocated fiercely for my rights and interests. What truly set Mr. England apart was his genuine compassion and empathy. He understood the emotional toll that legal proceedings can take on a person and offered unwavering support and guidance every step of the way. His reassuring presence gave me the strength and confidence I needed to navigate the challenges ahead. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, the outcome of my case exceeded all expectations. His exceptional legal strategy resulted in a favorable ruling that provided closure and justice for me. I am immensely grateful for his outstanding representation and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. Overall, my experience with Mr. England was nothing short of exceptional. His professionalism, expertise, and unwavering dedication to achieving outstanding results truly set him apart as a top-tier legal advocate.

Outstanding Attorney

Sheridan is an enthusiastic, highly knowledgeable and experienced civil litigator. The insider's viewpoint he has from his time spent working as an Assistant US Attorney was very helpful to me. He is also a pleasure to work with; he has an approachable and friendly disposition with clients, yet is ag...gressive enough to make me feel I was well-represented. I felt he had my best interests in mind 100% of the time. He has provided me with excellent legal advice and services and I highly recommend him.

A winning litigator

I recommend Mr. England in the highest terms. He presented an airtight, winning defense. He is also patient with his clients assuring me and alleviating any concern or worry I had throughout; and he has been right every time. He is reachable and responsive to his clients. His experience in the Depa...rtment of Justice covering many aspects of the law (including high profile) and his private firm experience makes him an excellent litigator. His winning track record extends to clients in many areas of the law. He is aggressive in his pursuit of his clients' cases going the extra length with an investigative component that renders his defense airtight. It is assuring to me to have a lawyer who has boundless knowledge, expertise and amazing track record along with his focus on his clients' needs.

Excellent Practicioner

Sheridan's experience defending and prosecuting complex civil claims make him an invaluable asset for any individual or entity involved in litigation. I turn to Sheridan for all of my legal needs because I believe his experience at the Department of Justice and a large class action firm in New York ...provided him with a unique skill set which he brings to every case. Sheridan's relentless work ethic has produced great results for me when I suspected all hope was lost. The fact that I can get a hold of Sheridan at any time also provides me ease of mind. I recommend Sheridan to anyone looking for excellent and ethical legal representation.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."

Relationship: Other

"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."
