Best divorce attorney in Hampton Roads

If you are looking for a divorce attorney Jen is the one you need to retain. She is very professional, responds quickly and she really knows her stuff. She made my divorce case easy to manage and she really showed me she cared about the success of the case. You will get your monies worth.

Attorney Jennifer Sherwood-Anderson

I highly recommend Attorney Sherwood-Anderson. Our first interaction was during a consultation regarding a motion to register a foreign judgment in the state of Virginia and to modify a visitation order. My husband is active duty military and we’d received orders to PCS to Germany for three years. We... consulted/hired her in November with hopes to get everything done by mid February. Her consultation price and retainer fee were very reasonable and even under the time crunch, she hit the ground running. She provided detailed instructions regarding the required forms and set reasonable expectations and pricing. Every question I could conjure up was answered swiftly. The communication was very consistent, even with her having multiple clients. She made it more than just a business transaction, it felt like she was a part of our family throughout the whole process. Her professionalism with the opposing attorney, judge and GAL was top tier! The case ended with the opposing side settling out with us. We were very pleased with all of her hard work and dedication. She helped us keep our loving family together and we have relocated to Germany with no issues lingering from the process. If you’re looking for the best legal representation in the State of Virginia, I highly recommend Attorney Jennifer Sherwood-Anderson.

Jennifer settled a long standing spousal support commitment for me. She was more then fair on her fee. Her game plan was perfect and timely. Outstanding attorney!
