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.

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.
