Valerie Wulff Sherman

I hired Valerie for a contested divorce and I'm happy I did. She is such a hard worker and a smart lawyer. She always kept me informed with an email, a text or a phone call. It just seemed like everyone at her firm cared about me and made sure I was ok. Her paralegal was awesome and could answer pret...ty much any question I had, and I had a lot of them. At court she was a great trial attorney and got me what I wanted and always made sure I had a "reality check" so I didn't do anything too dumb. I'd give her my highest recommendation and proudly use her again for other legal matters.

I got into debt and the calls wouldn't stop all day. I needed a bankruptcy attorney to help. I am so grateful that I found Valerie Sherman. She is really great. I think she's everything you want in a lawyer. Valerie cares, she's enthusiastic, smart and her fees are reasonable, way less than most of t...he attorneys I called. Basically, you provide her with the information and she and her staff do it all. When I had questions I called or emailed and I got a good and thoughtful response within a few hours or a day. They held my hand and took me thru the whole process and went to court with me. They made it easy. Great experience and great people.

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.

I was incredibly satisfied with Valerie Sherman and her awesome team. She truly went above and beyond in probably every way that you can imagine. She was amazing with me and was always there when I had questions. She gave great legal advice and told me what to do to get a great outcome. I would 100% ...recommend her services to anyone and have nothing but good things to say about her.
