About Sherry
Biography
Attorney Sherry Ivey Jones leverages years of courtroom experience to defend clients facing criminal charges across Florida. She launched her career as an Assistant State Attorney in the Third Judicial Circuit, taking on matters that ranged from minor traffic infractions to armed robbery felonies. Later, as a prosecutor in the 16th Judicial Circuit of Florida—serving the unique communities of the Florida Keys—she handled Fish and Wildlife Resource cases, sharpening her unique criminal law skills. Recognizing the value of the defense perspective, Sherry joined the Eighth Judicial Circuit Public Defender’s Office, where she juggled more than 300 cases simultaneously. That intensive caseload not only deepened her practical knowledge but also taught her to think several steps ahead of opposing counsel. Today, Sherry draws on her dual roles as both former prosecutor and seasoned public defender to create winning strategies and protect her clients’ interests at every stage of the criminal justice process.
