Amazing

Thoughtful and explained everything clearly. She explained everything to me A-Z and was always available for my questions

Posted by Curtis | October 19, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

She is the best!

Sherri took the worry and stress out of the bankruptcy process by making herself available to us and answering our questions. If I called her I never had to wait more than a day to hear back. She did everything a good lawyer should do and more.

Posted by Patricia | May 02, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Gets the job done!

Sherri Johnson was very helpful every step of the way. The bankruptcy process was much easier then I had anticipated. I could call her with any questions I had; and believe me I had a lot! And she always provided me with the answers I needed. If she wasn't available at the time I called she was promp...t in returning my calls. I felt she was very helpful and thorough!

Probate

Ms Johnson did my fathers probate. She did an excellent job. She was easy to get a hold if I had any questions. Her pricing was very fair and I knew the pricing of her services before we started.

Long Distance Deed

I live in Massachusetts and have real estate in Florida, Ms. Johnson was able to handle my case in court without my presence. I felt comfortable enough to allow her to handle my case after our phone conversation in regarding my situation. I am grateful that she was able to resolve our matter and has ...created some peace for my son and I after a long struggle. Thank you Ms. Johnson!

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.
