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.

Jennifer Sherwood is a hard working attorney that loves helping good honest parents

Mrs. Sherwood is a wonderful attorney. Very professional and loves helping dads receive justice. I have been working with her for 6 months. We set a goal in the beginning to achieve. I provided her with the paperwork and emails she needed. Open phone calls texting and emails the entire process. We bo...th arrived and hour early to prepare. She did a great job in the court room. She did my divorce custody and support. I’m very happy with the outcome. I will be using her in the future. Thank you Jennifer.

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.

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.

Best Hire I made.

I had been fighting back and forth and getting nowhere with my ex-wife dealing with custody amd visitation, being bullied in the courtroom and having information withheld her attorney and herself. I hired Ms. Sherrod to represent me so as to be treated fairly and be awarded my rights as a father. Our... first court appearance the courtroom thay day was a very different experience for me then it had been in the 5 years I had been back and forth. My ex wife and her attorney were willing to work with me all because Ms. Sherwood showed her presence was very much real and she doesn't back down and fights for her clients who hire her. I would recommend Ms. Sherrod to anyone needing an attorney for any reason.
