Excellent, professional, and very helpful.

Sheereen has been an excellent professional to help me manage a closing that was getting too complicated. Her professional approach and knowledge, was key in resolving the issues. Thank YOU Sheereen. You are good!

Posted by De'Angelo | September 30, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Real Estate

Approachable, considerate, and efficient lawyer.

Sheereen isn't the typical lawyer. Sheereen was very friendly and understanding to my concerns. Handled my case in a very professional manner, kept me informed through the process. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal advice on real estate matters.

My Chapter 7 lawyer

Ms Sheereen is a good lawyer. I started my Chapter 7 case by myself and I didn’t fill out case forms properly. Ms Sheereen took over my case and got me out of trouble of my mistakes I made. I would recommend Ms Sheereen Middleton again.

Please, look elsewhere!

I scheduled a bankruptcy consultation three days in advance for Monday, February 23, 2026 at 10:00 AM. The appointment was confirmed. I did not receive a call at the scheduled time. The first call came approximately 28 minutes late. During that time, I attempted to contact the office multiple time...s and received no answer. I also replied to their text messages seeking clarification and never received a response. To date, I have not spoken with anyone from the office, nor have I received any apology or explanation. When dealing with something as serious as bankruptcy, punctuality and communication are essential. Unfortunately, this experience reflected a lack of both.

Highly disappointed and let down

I only wish I had the good fortune of meeting and retaining the attorney everyone is speaking so highly of. My husband and l retained Ms. Middleton to handle our bankruptcy. What was suppose to be a joint filing became a single filing in my husband's name only. During the process we were unable to pe...rsonally communicate with Ms. Middleton and instead worked with two office assistants who were not able to provide legal advice. I'm unsure where Ms. Middleton was. The morning of our initial hearing my husband nor I heard from Ms. Middleton or anyone from her office. In a panick I called her office assistant who was unaware why Ms. Middleton was not at the meeting. Her assistant tried to reach her unsuccessfully. During the hearing the trustee advised us that our bankruptcy paperwork had not been filed and a noncompliance letter was mailed and electronically sent to Ms. Middleton's office. Therefore even if Ms. Middleton had been present our case had not ever been filed! A few hours after the meeting a short text was sent stating Ms.Middleton had been in the ER all morning. I'm still wondering why she wouldn't at least contact her staff member who could then contact her clients. Our case was in jeopardy of being dismissed! My husband and l are still actively trying to get through this process. The lack of respect, honesty and professionalism shown by Ms. Middleton is disheartening. I hope no one else has this same experience.

Thank you for sharing your honest expression for our brief dealing. I apologize that when I was in the hospital you weren’t given notice until after I was released. I was unable to communicate during that time as my health did not allow me. It was a blessing to be in a position to try to help you and your husband. Our disconnect transpired as your husband was my only point of contact and led me to understand he was filing separately. I wish we could have been introduced, and had you join in our first consultation back in December of 2020 to know you wanted to be included. I respect your feedback and appreciate your concerns and will be mindful moving forward to be better equipped to help my future clients. I wish you and your family all the best and I’m excited for your new beginnings.
