Special issue, special attorney

Glad I found Bill in time. I was having some major debt issues and he kept my wages from being garnished. Most reasonably priced attorney I have spoken to. Also, he'll work with you the fees. If you are in need of help, Bill and his team are the ones to talk to, no question.

Will not provide proof of services rendered.

I would not recommend this firm or William Sherman. I have been waiting for an itemized breakdown of the fees and services I was charged for. I have been calling and leaving messages, I have written an email on their contact us page, and no one responds or takes my calls. The Sherman Law Group took m...y money and refuses to give me proof of why they cannot issue me a refund.

Borders on harrasment

I believe this attorney did a good job defending me for DUI and I received a fair deal I would not hire him again. During the signing of the contract he agreed to split the fee for 1/2 down and the remainder in thirty days. On the 28th day he himself called and texted wanting to collect on the balanc...e. Since then I am in need for an attorney and spoke with him over the phone and made a consult appt. I attempted to cancel this appt. And he told me I was in a seruous situation and he needed to see me asap. Long story short he didn't have much advice to offer me but wanted me to sign a contract right away. And again the focus was on payment. Did not accept my response that I had to consult with family and me to call them right then to confirm payment even though it was a holiday. I DID NOT sign the contract and have since hired a different attorney. In the meantime over the weekend he texted me telling me to call him to review next steps. Beware he does not take no for an answer.

Worth Every Penny!

Bill Sherman the staff at The Sherman Law Group were amazing. The staff were so impressive and his wife, who is also an attorney, Valerie Sherman, was wonderful. That firm has the experience, training, and skill that you look for in attorneys. They got the matter handled without too much stress. I a...lmost didn’t hire an attorney but I am so glad I hired Bill Sherman!!! I almost went with someone else because they were cheaper. The Sherman Law group is worth every penny.

Awesome Team!

The Sherman Law Group is amazing at what they do. I was introduced to Bill Sherman by an attorney I know. I was having many legal problems. I went into the office and discussed my issues. I also met Valerie Sherman there. They have a great way of soothing and calming people down. After assessing my c...ase, they gave me incredible advice that made me relax. I absolutely love that I got a great deal and that I had fantastic attorneys working for me – what a team!!! It was stressful at the time but the Shermans and their awesome staff made everything right. I would definitely recommend The Sherman Law Group to everyone.
