Compassionate

I have known Cheryl for a long time so when I needed help with a legal matter, I knew I would go to her. She helped me and my situation and I would recommend her to anyone that needs legal representation.

The Best

We were looking for an attorney to intervene with my father who was acting erratically and not able to pay his bills. We suspected his medications were off and he needed help. He was fighting with people and resisting help. Hence needing a guardianship. This case was wild and not easy. Cheryl was fan...tastic, she worked quickly, was very upfront about everything and do to her diligence we won the case! Honestly I am still a lil speechless. We jumped hurdle after hurdle and there were times we thought about giving up. Cheryl kept us going and knew we would succeed. I actually believe it was her care and concern that won the case for us.

She is a bulldog like no other

I hired attorney Ward to a litigious matter. She was a total bulldog, bit her teeth in and wouldn't let go. I really like her personality. While I call her a bulldog, she was so sweet and kind to me. I give her 5 stars. This was my first positive experience with an attorney.

Why settle for any less

She was my attorney for a legal matter. She always was available when I needed to talk with her. Her paralegal was equally available and super knowledgeable. They are super stars as far as I am concerned.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
