Jennifer Janelle Sherwood

Jen took me on as a client March 2023, at the time I lost visitation with my children and could only see them in a supervised setting because my ex as telling everyone I was abusive, the GAL hated me (hated me so much the children reported that he screamed at them in his office telling my 7 year old ...to shut up when she tried telling him that the stuff her mom says wasn't true, and I was a good dad), the children's therapists were telling the court I was bad (but the therapists failed to mention that they allowed mother to sit in on every therapy session with the kids and bad mouth me). It was an absolute dumpster fire of a custody case that had been going on since 2019, and she still took it on. As of Feb 2025, I now have primary custody of my children, so in a little under two years I went from having 2 hours of supervised visitation twice a month, to primary custody - absolutely a miracle worker.

She was personable and passionate about my case and because of her I have shared custody and shared legal rights of my child, when the mother of my child didn't want me to have any...Now my daughter will have a chance to have her father, fully in her life, will growing up, something that me and he...r mother never had growing up..I am so gratefully and bless to have met and hired a great lawyer of her caliber, I can not thank her enough...so I also work just as hard on my child support case...I am so appreciative for her..I very highly recommend her

In the state of Virginia, grandparents have no rights to their grandchildren. My husband and I had been in our grandson's life from the moment we found out our daughter was pregnant. In the summer of 2022, he was completely snatched out of our lives. Jen agreed to represent us. We went to court w...ith nothing and came out supervising visitation. Fast forward to one month ago. We went to court and came out with a court ordered one week visitation over the summer with our grandson. Jen was there with us all the way. Whenever we tried to reach out to her, and we didn't get an immediate response we automatically knew she was busy. We also knew we would hear from her as soon as she got a free moment. She's not just there for you from 9-5. She's always there for you.

I highly recommend Attorney Sherwood-Anderson. Our first interaction was during a consultation regarding a motion to register a foreign judgment in the state of Virginia and to modify a visitation order. My husband is active duty military and we’d received orders to PCS to Germany for three years. We... consulted/hired her in November with hopes to get everything done by mid February. Her consultation price and retainer fee were very reasonable and even under the time crunch, she hit the ground running. She provided detailed instructions regarding the required forms and set reasonable expectations and pricing. Every question I could conjure up was answered swiftly. The communication was very consistent, even with her having multiple clients. She made it more than just a business transaction, it felt like she was a part of our family throughout the whole process. Her professionalism with the opposing attorney, judge and GAL was top tier! The case ended with the opposing side settling out with us. We were very pleased with all of her hard work and dedication. She helped us keep our loving family together and we have relocated to Germany with no issues lingering from the process. If you’re looking for the best legal representation in the State of Virginia, I highly recommend Attorney Jennifer Sherwood-Anderson.
