Consummate professional :Even through a personal emergency she was there !

I was highly referred to Ms Middleton. She’s not only professional but caring as well. She helped to save my cousin’s home and restore her family back to financial vitality. And she also helped my associate restore his situation to be able to thrive again in his business. So it was easy for me to mak...e the choice to hire her. In both cases my family and friends let me know how diligent and caring she was. She not only understood how to help us, she showed empathy and compassion for our families and what we were going through. We never been here before and we where afraid of the implications and the journey itself. She guided us and walked us through it. She’s was always responsive even when she was in the hospital she called us later that evening to let us know what was happening. He knowledge transcended beyond the bankruptcy proceedings she gave us guidance on the next steps thereafter. We felt supported, encouraged, guided and respected. And most all of we are anew because of her. We are stronger financially and in a better situation than we were before our troubles. And for that I will always been eternally grateful for Ms Middleton. I feel blessed and fortunate that I had her as counsel. If you want someone that’s has integrity and is diligent, intelligent, savvy, empathetic and an all around great person. Please trust in me when I say hire Sheereen Middleton

Shakespeare was wrong

You know the line. Henry VI, Part 2, scene 2. Nope, Sheereen is a lifesaver! I got in contact with her when my life was falling apart, not just financially. Then shortly after we were introduced by Maryland Volunteer Lawyer Services, I tried to get her everything to get the bankruptcy process starte...d. Then we had a minor international pandemic. I hit pause and didn't follow up for ages. Sheereen didn't blink, and when I got back in touch with her, we got the process restarted, and swiftly concluded to my complete satisfaction. I don't have a lot I can offer in the way of recompense, but know I would trust this member of the Bar with my services at the drop of a hat.

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.
