Exceptional Attorney

Sheri is one of those rare finds; an individual that is smart, professional, personable and, perhaps most importantly, honest. She concluded in seven months what my previous attorney could not accomplish in four years by doing her research citing precedent and not allowing OC to beat her down with de...lays and distractions. And she did so by keeping a watchful eye on her billable hours. She owned the day!

Extremely Knowledgeable!

I found Ms Oluyemi to be extremely knowledgeable regarding employment law and fair employment practices. One of the things that impressed me the most was the case law that she discovered to support the facts of my case. Ms Oluyemi has familiarity with other professionals and firms in the industry. ... This was very helpful in knowing the audience of opposing counsel. It is obvious that she has a passion for what she does. Other factors were a 5 start such as integrity, timely responses, organized, legally articulate and professional. I highly recommend Ms Oluyemi to represent anyone!

Start-up Legal Setup

Sheri completed all the paper work necessary to put my start-up in business. She also prepared contracts between my company and independent contractors. Awesome experience working with Sheri.

Employment and labor lawyer | Oct 11

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I highly endorse this lawyer. Sheri is a fabulous lawyer. Smart, hard-working, articulate, professional, an excellent writer, and a vigorous advocate. I had the pleasure of working with Sheri for years when she was Of Counsel to Hipes Law LLC. I knew if I asked her to work with me on a matter, her work would be done well, and done timely--I could always relay on it. She was very dependable no matter how much she had on her plate. And even in high-pressure litigation situations, she was always pleasant. She is one of the easiest lawyers to work with I know. I would hire her in a minute!"
