Posted by Jerry | August 27, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Collaborative Divorce

After researching divorce options in my area I decided to try to go for a collaborative divorce. Mr Sherman came up in a search of Attorney's in the area who practice collaborative divorce. I met with Mr Sherman for a consultation and soon after hired him to represent my interests. His deep knowledge... and unwavering relaxed and even tempered tack served me better then I could ever have anticipated. I would highly recommend him to anyone in search of an Attorney.

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.
