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.

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!
