Great Attorney

Jennifer is an amazing attorney who has a great deal of passion for her profession. Very thorough! She explains the process in a clear and precise manner so that you can choose the best options available to you. Was able to avoid court and reach a settlement to our liking. Highly recommend!

God sent Lawyer

After years in court and 5 lawyers later. I have been very fortunate and blessed to fall into the good graces of Jennifer Sherwood. I am truly grateful for how she listened and took on my case with great care. She carefully pieced and organized together all my past court cases. I was amazed at the ti...me she devoted and impressed at how familiar she became with my background in a short amount of time. I always appreciated her honest feedback whether good or bad. However, I did what ever homework she asked in hopes for the best outcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. She more than delivered and am overjoyed with the results. I was very lucky to have crossed paths with her.

Best of Hampton Roads

I've had plenty of lawyers represent me personally & professionally, and I can say without hesitation that Jennifer Sherwood is the best by a long shot. She has been (and continues to be) on top of every detail that's given to her. She has earned every bit of my trust through her dedication & superio...r representation. I was being "ran-over " by the other lawyers, until I was fortunate enough to find Jennifer, and I owe her an endless gratitude. She has successfully represented me in 4 cases & I couldn't be happier with the results.

Professional and honest.

I’m very blessed to have had a lawyer like Ms. Sherwood. She was very professional and responsive to any of my concerns and questions. She did everything in her power to fight for my case and I’m forever thankful for her. Will definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone who needs a hard working ...lawyer like herself. I know for sure I’ll always be a loyal client.

NOT TRUSTWORTHY OR TRUTHFUL

Jennifer Sherwood is useless.I hired her to represent me in a case against a local car dealership by the name of Casey's Volkswagon.I had my car repossessed because I refused to pay for an engine that blew while under warranty. Casey's said I had not had the oil changed as required,even though I pr...ovided copies of oil changes. Casey's diagnosed engine as having sludge in it.When I refused to pay for engine Casey's charged me $1500 for rental car even through they did not require me to sign an agreement for rental car. When I refused to pay the amount Volkswagon sold my car even though I was making payments on it They sold it in August and I had made payments through September. Jennifer Sherwood did absolutely nothing,except lie about filing case against Casey,s and Volkswagon. She always had an excuse for not filing,it would be filed next week,then in 2 weeks,case never was filed. I called her 2 months before time expired to file case and was told I had 3 years to file not 2 as I had read. She called me 2 months later to say she wanted to file to keep repossession off my credit report. When I confronted her about not filing my case, due to the fact she knew Mr.Casey and played golf with him, she denied that had anything to do with not filing case. DON'T TRUST OR USE HER,NOT TRUSTWORTHY. Would give 0 rating if possible.
