Professional and honest.

I’m very blessed to have had a lawyer like Ms. Sherwood. She was very professional and responsive to any of my concerns and questions. She did everything in her power to fight for my case and I’m forever thankful for her. Will definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone who needs a hard working ...lawyer like herself. I know for sure I’ll always be a loyal client.

Above our Expectations!

Attorney Sherwood has gone above and beyond our expectations in representing our family. She has always been professional, respectful of our time, considerate of our concerns/needs, and prompt in responding to anything unexpected that arises, and quick and witty in the court room while maintaining ev...eryone's attention and respect. She also demonstrates excellent on the spot current knowledge of laws and social expectations. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good family law or general practice lawyer.

Amazing lawyer

Hiring Jennifer was the best decision I made. She is extremely knowledgeable and responds very quickly. This isn’t just a paycheck to her, she genuinely cares about the safety of my child. My case has been going on for roughly a year now, and it’s not a simple case, but she has worked very hard on my... case and shown me that she has my child’s best interest at heart and will do everything in her power to make sure the outcome at court is the best for my child. I’ll always refer her for custody cases and if I ever have another case I’ll definitely be using her.

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.
