Superb Legal Counsel

Attorney Sherri Smelley was a complete God-send to me and my son. We were fighting a long-term tedious battle and she took it head on. Mrs. Smelley has a creative lawyering strategy for each particular instance. She is punctual, respectful, and ALWAYS prepared. She keeps open communication with her c...lients, and her staff is wonderful as well! My son and I retained Mrs. Smelley for a divorce and child custody case, and she by far exceeded every personal and professional expectation. She is personable and will inquire your opinion and thoughts before making any legal decisions. I highly recommend Sherri Smelley to anyone looking for a superb attorney. I will, without hesitation, retain Sherri Smelley's legal counsel in the future for any other concerning matters!

Criminal cases

I have hired Mrs. Smelley on two cases involving my son. They were both criminal cases. She was responsive, thorough and very helpful in her advice, and she is genuinely collegial with others. She listened carefully to my son and my questions with analysis and advice aimed directly at the issue. The ...outcome of both cases was better than what I had expected. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a good lawyer.

A Legal Angel

I just would like to say that I am not shocked at all to see that Sherri Johnson Smelley became a Lawler. There was a time in my life that I was in much need of an Attorney to help in the settlement of my late husband's estate. I made a phone call to an Attorney's office to hear a warm and caring p...erson on the other end of the line. When we met at the first appointment, I ask Sherri if she was the attorney. She said "no" but that she sure hoped to be one day, as that was her goal. I met the attorney which was very nice and professional. Everything went as we all three planned and was done in a timely manor considering how long legal things take. I was very pleased indeed. What I remember the most though is the way I was greeted into the office by Sherri. The time and compassion she showed to me and my family at each appointment. The way she guided us through each and every step and phase of the procedure, making sure we understood it all and always stopping to ask if we had any questions. That day and several other's that we had to be in the office, we felt nothing more than real concern, compassion and understanding of our needs. Sherri called me on numerous occasions updating me as things moved along. Sometimes just to check on us to see if we were ok, knowing the hurt we were dealing with. So, see this is the reason I am not surprised at all that she became an attorney because she has the heart of gold and loves to serve people with dedication and honesty. I would for sure seek her assistance as an attorney should I need one in the future. Signed with, Shirley, A loving Journey
