Best attorney around!

Jennifer, Sherwood and her staff are the best attorney’s around. She helped me out with the adoption of my son. She is quick, thorough and very dependable. She knows what she’s doing and she gets the job done. Thank you so much, Jennifer.

Highly recommended

I filed two custody cases with Jennifer Sherwood. The cases were quick and to the point with the desired result being reached. Jennifer was very professional in her dealings and was extremely fair in rates for the situation I brought to her desk. I would gladly use these services again and highly rec...ommend them if you ever find yourself in a similar situation.

One of the best

She is a fantastic attorney. She was the only attorney that was willing to help me win the case. Usually, when you are trying to move out of the state with children and the non-custodial parent Is not in agreement, it becomes problematic and almost impossible to leave the state. But attorney Sherwood... took on the Case with confidence. Not only did she take on my custodial case, but she also took on my Child support case as well. She is a pit bull in a skirt because she Doesn't let up. If you are looking for an attorney that cares and is willing to fight for you, look no further.

Absolutely the Best!

Ms. Sherwood was an incredible lawyer. I had the most positive experience with her law firm. I would highly recommend Jennifer Sherwood for any child custody case. From the very beginning I knew she had great compassion for her clients and the utmost professionalism. She has represented me through... two child custody cases and she fought aggressively for the best interest of my children. She was very meticulous with how she handled my case. She responded quickly to every email and promptly returned every phone call. Jennifer was my angel in one of the most challenging times of my life. She made me feel at peace though the entire process. Thank you Jennifer for not only standing up for us but for guidance during a very difficult time.

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.
