AWESOME LAWYER!!!

This lady is AWESOME! From the very start, she was attentive and gave excellent advice. She walked me through what to expect and how to handle each step of the process. Even between court dates, when situations came up and I sent her updates—sometimes upset—she kept me grounded and focused on our goa...ls for court. Each day we were in court, I was amazed at how she took all the information I shared and presented it clearly and powerfully to the judge and GAL. Our family is in a much happier place because of Jennifer Sherwood.

Hired as custody lawyer

Kept fantastic communication. Really pleased with her performance in court as well. I got exactly what I wanted thanks to Mrs. Anderson. She made the whole process easy to understand.

Best of Hampton Roads

I've had plenty of lawyers represent me personally & professionally, and I can say without hesitation that Jennifer Sherwood is the best by a long shot. She has been (and continues to be) on top of every detail that's given to her. She has earned every bit of my trust through her dedication & superio...r representation. I was being "ran-over " by the other lawyers, until I was fortunate enough to find Jennifer, and I owe her an endless gratitude. She has successfully represented me in 4 cases & I couldn't be happier with the results.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
