Best Attorney Ever

Attorney Sherwood is such a beautiful person, inside and out. It’s so wonderful to have someone to care for your family just as much as you do. Previously, I was in a 9 year nasty custody battle with my son father and his mother. I was so overwhelmed and been through so much. But I decided to give it... another shot. When I met Attorney Sherwood, that was the best thing that ever happened to me. I wish I would’ve met her earlier. She went all the way for my family and I. Attorney Sherwood will fight for you and give it her all. She’s so good in court to where I felt like we was in a case that you see in movies. She is the truth. Long story short, Not only was I granted everything I wanted but also a bonus too. The bonus was my husband adopted my son and we was able to change his last name. Now, we are living our best lives! If you are looking for someone that will fight just as hard as you or even harder for your family, Attorney Sherwood is the one. I am so grateful for her. There’s not enough thank you’s and the world that will equal up to what she did for my family.

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.

Great Experience

Jennifer did a great job helping me on my case. I got exactly what I was looking for in my custody case. Even with me being across the country during my case she kept me in the loop. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!

Review for Jennifer J Sherwood

Wyonia Hughes and Judine Frady Hi everyone I just like to say thank you to a wonderful lady Jennifer J Sherwood attorney attorney at law who works and reside in Newport News Virginia. We met Jennifer when we asked God for guidance in helping us to find some one who know the laws of Virginia... since we live in another state. Our first impression of her was wow she is very intelligent and fully knowledgeable in the laws of Virginia. She is very professional, honest and caring person. When things would happen during the evening or midnight hours she there to help to help us know what to do or who we needed to contact. If you choose to ask to take your case she will never steer you wrong. The issues that we faced were getting permanent custody of grand children. I know with out Jennifer our case would have ended differently. Thank you God and Jennifer for all you did for us. I pray you will have continued success in all of your endeavors you are a great lawyer so happy we had your wisdom and help.

A Blessing!

I retained Jennifer after being referred to her and she was amazing for my child custody case! She is very professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive…in court she was very sharp and aggressive which I loved. She takes no prisoners and go getter attitude! I would highly recommend her for any cas...e you may have and have already referred her to another family member going through the same thing.
