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.

Awesome

Jennifer was amazing! I hired her to help me from another state, something I did not think would be an easy process and she made it extremely smooth and was very quick to respond and communicate and let me know each step we were proceeding to. She's very professional and I would hire her anytime I ma...y need an attorney again. She's very honest on the possibility of what you're asking and while she's on your side she gives you the real and likely answer versus just what you want to hear. She was awesome! I would highly recommend her!

Excellent Lawyer for Domestic and Custody Issues

I was referred to Jennifer Sherwood to assist me in some domestic and custody issues. I am so thankful and appreciative for all that she has done to help me. She is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. Ms. Sherwood kept me informed throughout the entire process and made... sure that I understood what was happening as well as what the outcomes could be. She always had my family’s best interest in mind. Ms. Sherwood went above and beyond in so many ways. She is passionate about her clients and works hard to ensure that the best outcomes are achieved. I am so grateful for her and what she has done to help me with my legal matters.

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.
