Great Lawyer

She was personable and passionate about my case and because of her I have shared custody and shared legal rights of my child, when the mother of my child didn't want me to have any...Now my daughter will have a chance to have her father, fully in her life, will growing up, something that me and he...r mother never had growing up..I am so gratefully and bless to have met and hired a great lawyer of her caliber, I can not thank her enough...so I also work just as hard on my child support case...I am so appreciative for her..I very highly recommend her

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.
