hardest working lawyer in Nashville, TH 37201

First let me state that I never write reviews..never..this is my 1st! Only because Cindy was my rock (..and bulldog) recently when I faced a legal crisis. If you're in Nashville TN and need a Nashville criminal (or civil) defense lawyer Cynthia 'Cindy' Sherwood is the Nashville attorney for you. I... recently retained her firm to represent me in a complex civil matter. Very diligent, thorough and extremely knowledgeable -- she was prepared for anything and mopped the floor with the opposing party yesterday in court! When you hire Cindy Sherwood you've got a lawyer who's accessible 24/7 and gives 110% to win your case! When I got your court the day of our hearing, Cindy Sherwood knew everyone! This lady is very well connected to the judges, solicitors, and basically everyone at Nashville General Sessions and Superior Court. Very well-liked, great rapport with anybody....however this lady is no wallflower when it comes to a courtroom. The prosecuting attorney gave his case with witnesses and rested. Then Cynthia Sherwood went into action!!! She completely destroyed the prosecution's defense within 30 seconds, I never had to say a word! Hourly rate is affordable, she's always accessible (answers the phone when you call!) and Cindy Sherwood will prepare you for your day in Nashville court! But, more than likely, you won't have to say a word....she's a pro!

Magnificent Attorney!

Cynthia Sherwood is by far the most amazing and talented attorney you could possibly have. She knows the law inside out. She was a true blessing for me. Her passion and intelligence is truly magical. I have never seen someone so personally invested in their clients. She is always well prepared and n...ever ever gives up. Seeing her perform in court was truly a sight to see because of the vast amount of knowledge she possesses and her commanding presence was remarkable. I would recommend her to my family and friends for any legal needs they may have.

Excellent Attorney!

I was falsely accused of vandalism over $1000, a Class D Felony. A conviction would have caused me to lose my job and seriously affect my career for something I didn't do. Cynthia took my case, diligently gathered all of the facts, and was very prepared and confident that we would prevail. The res...ult....the charge was completely DISMISSED!! Cynthia, Jaimee, and her staff were professional, responsive, and very thoughtful and understanding throughout the entire process. I highly, highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal counsel. She and her team are the best!

There are not enough stars to rank her! She is truly that good.

As a business owner for 30 years, I have had to fight many battles. There is a difference however from business legal issues and personal. This case was PERSONAL! I have never had an attorney that would listen so intensely and I could see her take on the passion I had for this case. Her ability to c...ommunicate with the parties involved was amazing. We had tried on our own for two years with no results. Cynthia took on the case and within a matter of days she had created a dialog no one ells could. Being in sales and marketing, I thought if I can’t open the door to this problem and handle getting resolution, no one could. I was wrong. Cynthia not only resolved the conflict but even got us a meeting with the individuals that now has turned into a good relationship. I have seen many attorneys that would have “milked” this case for ever. That is not who she is. She is fair, to the point and winner all the way around. Her staff is “top shelf”, and have the empathy I needed to settle down and be a reasonable client (Yes, I can be unreasonable). If felt the need to let her and her staff know, you guys are amazing. Thank you for helping our family. Thank you for being honest and to the point. I would recommend you guys to anyone for any matter after this! Again, thanks to everyone. Bradley

A Stellar Lawyer!!

I recently got into a bit of a legal situation while I was visiting from out of town and I didn't know who to contact. I have never been in trouble with the law before, and I was extremely upset and didn't know what to do. I looked online at the top lawyers in Nashville and Cynthia's name was at the ...top of the list. I called the number listed and immediately spoke with Jaimee Mackey, Cindy's legal secretary who was very pleasant to talk to. I explained my situation and she told me I definitely called the right person and transferred my call to Cindy. As soon as Cindy picked up her line I knew that I called the right lawyer. She was very compassionate and assured me that she would help me and get the matter resolved. I was so relieved, and from that moment on she took charge and started the process to get my situation quickly resolved. Cindy provided her cell phone number and told me to call her anytime day or night. Cindy not only made a stressful situation bearable, but she gave me back my life! If you find yourself in need of a lawyer, I definitely recommend Cindy for any legal matter you may have now or in the future. Thanks so much Cindy, you're the best!
