Very poor experience.

I have hired Sheryl to do a transaction for me. While I have worked with many people during many years while running my business I have never worked with anyone so incompetent as Sheryl. While she does appear to be very knowledgeable in the law matter she is not going to be looking out for you. If yo...u are looking for someone to prepare the paperwork she is a good, if you need somebody who will be by your side and will keep your best interest in mind please look elsewhere. I had a very negative experience with this lawyer.

It is unfortunate that this client was unhappy and the rules governing the confidentiality of matters between lawyers and their clients would prohibit a full response to this review, However, there is a limit to what real estate attorneys can accomplish for clients in a transaction. Much of what happens in a real estate transaction is not dictated or controlled by the closing agent. Closing agents have no control over the timeliness of work being performed by lenders and often, the expectations of the client far exceed matters that can be ideally managed by a real estate attorney acting as a closing agent.

GLAD WE FOUND SHERYL EDWARDS!!

We let Sheryl Edwards take charge of our foreclosure case and we are very glad we did. She was very detail-oriented and really took time to learn about our personal situation and finances to tailor her approach to best suit our needs. Sheryl found several items in the papers we were served with tha...t needed to be corrected and also required the lender to prove they had the right to foreclose. They went back and forth quite a bit. In the meantime we were able to obtain a deed-in-lieu with a deficiency waiver and finally put everything behind us. We found Sheryl to be extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with and we highly recommend you hire her to represent you. She made this whole process a lot less stressful!

What a great experience...

I am so glad Sheryl returned my call. I had spoken to a few other attorneys that had each given me different advice how to handle my situation (none of them made me feel very comfortable). Sheryl was the only one that invited me in to speak face to face. I felt the advice she gave me was in my bes...t interest. Sheryl and her husband made everything so easy and I would absolutely recommend her firm if you are dealing with a possible foreclosure.

Two for two

I used the Edwards Law Firm to help me with two terribly underwater condominiums in the Sarasota Florida area that I could no longer keep. Her firm was extremely effective in successfully negotiating short sales for both units at very favorable terms for me. I am totally and extremely satisfied with ...their work and recommend them without reservation.

Very Satisfied Customer

The Edwards Law Firm worked tirelessly to assist in the shortsale of our primary residence. She and her team kept us well informed and accepted the burden of dealing with a difficult non-responsive lender. Sherry has handled several real estate transactions for both me and my clients. She works t...o find solutions and isn't afraid to bring all parties together. I highly recommend The Edwards Law Firm for any real estate needs.
