Excellent Attorney

Valerie Sherman did a great job with my DUI case. She was always there with advice when I needed her and she was a great communicator with updates on my case. It's easy to see why she's considered an expert. I knew when I hired her and her firm they would help greatly, and they did. Happy and gratefu...l to give 5 stars.

Big Help!

I moved to Georgia from Florida and I couldn't do anything because of my debt. I met with Valerie Sherman after doing some online research. I pretty much trusted her immediately and realized she's a smart lawyer. She gave me a game plan to get out of debt and she gave me papers and a questionnaire to... complete. She explained everything that she would do and told me what I needed to do. She did a really super great job and got rid of ALL of my debt. Now I have no debt at all. No creditors are harassing me and I don't have to worry about lawsuits. Valerie Sherman took great care of me, and I'm sure she'll take great care of you.

Posted by Josh H. | October 15, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Horrible BR Attorney

My wife and I filed chapter 7 bankruptcy Feburary 2016 while I was on workers comp. We hired her husband and got passed off to her. We met her for the first time right before she filed our case for like 10 minutes. Never saw her again, or hear from her again. We showed up to our bankruptcy hearing th...is past April and her firm hired an outside attorney to represent us at our hearing. Not unheard of, except the attorney she stuck us with absolutely knew nothing about bankruptcy law. She told my wife and I 10 minutes before our hearing that all though she is an attorney, she just shows up at hearings for the lawyers who can't be there. We started asking her questions about our case and she literally told us she knew as much about bankruptcy law as we did. Wow! Our confidence level just left the building as you can imagine. Fortunately we got our discharge, but instead of hearing it from Valerie, we found out from our car dealership letter trying to get us to by a car. Wow again! We went to court in April, discharged in June, and still no word from our attorney. We thought it was done, we are discharged and everything is ok. Wrong. I settled my workers comp case in August 2016 and I found out from my workers comp attorney that the bankruptcy trustee took my settlement. Now, workers comp is supposed to be exempt from bankruptcy in the state of GA. True, if your bankruptcy attorney does the proper paper work at the beginning of you filing for bankruptcy. She never put workers comp in our paper work. So, even though we disclosed workers comp at our hearing, Valerie never disclosed workers comp in our paper work. Now, bankruptcy is all about detail and proper filing. So I talked to Valerie's " office ", not her, when we found out what the BR trustee was trying to do. So they filed for exemption under GA law. Unfortunately she filed an exemption that's not in GA bankruptcy law. Wow for the third time! But not only that, she filed it late! Wow for the fourth time. At this point I don't know what's going on, I'm sending emails left and right, no response, calling, no response. Wow for the fifth time! Finally I get to deal with her paralegal, David Chiodo, wow for the sixth time. That guy couldn't find water if he fell of a boat, and the rudest man I've ever had to deal with. Now, this has been going on for a month and still not able to get in touch with Valerie my attorney. Finally after bugging her paralegal to death, he tells me he has to look at the calendar for her next available time to speak with us. WTF!!! Wow for the seventh time. Finally speak to Valerie for the first in 8 months about our strategy. She was so kind to tell me that the bankruptcy trustee has 30 days to object our exemption to keep my workers comp settlement. And that her strategy was to pretty much sit back on her thumbs and hopefully the BR trustee forgets about me and passes his dead line. What?!! My BR trustee is Jordan Lubin, the toughest BR trustee in Atlanta according to Valerie, and she wants to hope he forgets how to do his job. What kind of strategy is that? Well, the BR attorney objects my exemption a week ago. But he objected because he sent a status report of my case to Valerie staying he was going to keep my case open pending a workers comp settlement investigation 6 days after my BR was discharged back in June of this year and Valerie never responded to it and completely failed to let me know anything about a status report. But her office and her insured us if anything came up from the BR trustee she would let us know. After we finally found out the trustee responded to our exemption, we were told by Valerie's paralegal we'd have to wait for her next available calendar date to go over their findings, which was the next day end of BUISNESS. So I fired her and hired Brian Limbocker out of Woodstock last week and I settled my case today. But her office lies, absolutely no contact with her clients and 100% neglect. Worst experience ever.

She Really Cares

I hired Mrs. Sherman for a divorce. I was scared and very concerned about my future. I had been married for over 25 years and I never thought it would come to seeing an attorney. She immediately put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. She discussed the whole process with me and what I could exp...ect. She was a realist and I needed that. She made the whole process so much easier than I expected and she always cared about my best interests. She was tough and smart and did a wonderful job. I was impressed from start to finish.

Wonderful Experience

From the beginning, my experience was wonderful. At my first consultation I could see that I had to hire Valerie Sherman. She was what I wanted in a lawyer. She is smart, experienced and caring. To be honest, this was the first time I had used a lawyer on a case and my experience with Valerie Sherman... was great. I always recommended the Sherman Law Group to others.
