Sheryl T. Friedrichs

Sheryl went above and beyond to make things easier for me during an extremely difficult time in my life. She was very knowledgeable about family law and explained things in a way that could understand. She was supportive,patient, and understanding of my situation during the separation and divorce pro...cess.She handled each unique situation(child support, separation agreement, property settlement,divorce, etc) that came up in a very efficient and timely manner from the beginning to the end. I didn’t feel like I was just another client. She always was very personable, emphasized with what I was going through, and was willing to meet me where it was convenient for me several times. I HIGHLY recommend her services if you need a supportive, knowledgeable,hardworking, and understanding lawyer. Divorce is never easy but she is definitely someone you can trust to get the job done how you need and want it handled.

Divorce is painful. Sheryl made the process tolerable. She is extremely helpful and patient answering all my questions and explaining them clearly. She was extremely competent helping me retain my perspective and navigate through the process. She offered excellent advise and listened closely to ...me. She provided stability in a terrifying process. I am so glad a friend referred her to me. Throughout the process it was clear that she was looking for my best interests and working hard to achieve the best results for the least amount of money. Divorce for me was overwhelming. In the end she got me the best divorce I could hope for. I will always be extremely grateful and I can't recommend her enough.

I saw Ms. Friedrichs for a consultation on my marital separation. She explained the process of separation and divorce and the choices I had before me. My husband had given me a separation agreement and she walked me through the document, explaining what was typical for North Carolina so that I woul...d have a sense of context and a better perspective on what was being offered. She caught errors in the document and pointed out parts of the offer that were generous, as well as parts that were problematic or potentially unfair to me. She then explained why and gave me advice on how to address those issues. I was still reeling from the heartache of separation and in no shape to understand documents that, under the best of circumstances, shouldn't be signed without the help of an attorney. Ms. Friedrichs was kind and patient throughout our appointment and a much appreciated source of comfort and knowledge. I left her office with a clear understanding of the separation process and the separation agreement. I also knew the steps I could to take to protect and care for myself, legally and personally, through this difficult process. I recommend Ms. Friedrichs without reservation to anyone going through separation or divorce. Her help was invaluable.

I hired Sheryl to handle my divorce. While divorce can be painful in many ways, I was extremely happy with Sheryl. She not only provided great legal service but was also a guide and voice of reason that I very much needed during a new and emotional process. Divorce can be difficult and Sheryl hel...ped me put things into perspective and maintain civility. I was recommended Sheryl by my therapist after voicing my desire to have a lawyer who would help me avoid an acrimonious divorce process and keep the focus on developing a co-parenting relationship with my ex for our children. Sheryl did exactly this. We had several extremely helpful conversations when I was getting frustrated with my ex. She also lent me books on how to effectively co-parent. In addition, I received a lot of well-intentioned, unsolicited advice from family and friends during the divorce process. Thankfully Sheryl helped me manage the emotionally charged advice and saved me from making costly, relationship damaging decisions and keep my children. Thanks Sheryl!
