Saving grace

When I meet Cheri I was certain that I was fighting a no win uphill battle. With her skill and knowledge of family law she got me far more than I ever dreamed possible. She seems to know every statue and case law that pertains to family law. It was amazing how calm and focused she is on your case. I ...would tell anyone that thinks they don’t have a chance in court if you have Cheri and Marsha on your side you will have more than just hope. You will have the very best attorney that you can possibly have. Thanks to Cheri and Marsha for such an outstanding job.

Posted by Michelle | April 12, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Alimony

HIGHLY KNOWLEDGEABLE, SKILLED, AND PROFESSIONAL

I needed the expert services of Cheri Russell for termination/modification of my alimony case. Cheri always took the time to answer my questions, return my emails, calls, etc. She always ensured that I was updated on my case and advised me frequently. She gives you honest advice whether it is in y...our favor or not. Cheri is professional and always prepared for her cases. This makes a stressful situation much easier when you know that Cheri is taking care of it. I am so thankful that I hired Cheri for the termination/modification of alimony because now I can close that chapter forever. If you truly need an attorney that is the best at what she does, then I highly recommend that you hire Cheri Russell.

She's one of the best

She's one of the best lawyer's I've come across. She was recommended by a friend of mine to help in a child time sharing case. Needless to say we won our case. Durning my daughter's case another one of my children needed her services. My son needed someone to fight for his rights as a father. He hi...red her same day after meeting her. At the end of his divorce he got everything he asked for plus some. She's honest and up front about everything good and bad with you. If you need a divorce attorney don't pass her up.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I greatly appreciate the phenomenal job Cheri Russell and Marsha Ray did for me and my family. Cheri is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and knows family law inside and out. She was always prepared, knowledgeable, personable, and is a skilled litigator with unrivaled experience in family law. Cheri and Marsh...a are a dynamic team. I couldn't imagine having had to go through this process without them. I highly recommend Cheri A. Russell, PA.

Posted by Roy | March 12, 2017 | Child Support

Highly recommended

I consulted Cheri Russell in regards to a civil contempt charge for allegedly owing back child support from a divorce in 1972. Her advice for my situation was extremely helpful in that my case was dismissed. Thank you Ms. Russell and I highly recommend your service to anyone who seeks a professional ...about family law or civil matters.
