Cynthia is the best!

I highly recommend this attorney to anyone looking for an experienced and trustworthy criminal defense lawyer. From the beginning, they were professional, responsive, and straightforward about my case. They took the time to explain the process, answered my questions, and made sure I understood my opt...ions every step of the way. Most importantly, they worked hard on my behalf and achieved an excellent outcome—better than I had expected. Their knowledge, preparation, and ability to handle a difficult situation gave me a lot of confidence throughout the process. If you’re facing a criminal charge and need someone who will take your case seriously and fight for the best possible result, I would absolutely recommend them. I’m extremely grateful for the representation and the outcome.

10/10 - Best Money Ever Spent!

I am beyond glad that I went with Sherwood!! I am from out of state (I actually move constantly & was heading to ND after Nashville) and my situation was a massive misunderstanding that, of course, came with a hefty charge. I called countless lawyers for help and everyone told me all the awful outcom...es to expect and that my life was forever ruined- then I called Sherwood and was immediately put at ease with Austin and Cynthia. They told me first thing that they would handle it and I would get a dismissal and expungement. Here I am on the other side of things with exactly that! I am forever grateful for Sherwood!!!

Life SAVER

Never in my life thought I would face a situation like this, but I’m so glad I had Cynthia and Austin on my side. Cynthia got all of my charges DISMISSED! Thank you Cynthia and thank you Austin. Sorry you need them but won’t be sorry that you have them!

Wonder Woman

Words can’t even explain how amazing this woman and her team is. Ms. Sherwood has officially became like extended family to me. Her expertise is second to none. The professionalism and empathy is very refreshing to someone dealing with legal matters. I didn’t feel like a client but more like a son, n...ephew etc the way she handled my case. She is a straight shooter and not bs artist like most I’ve dealt with in my turbulent past. She put my mind ast ease through out a four yrs court battle. I highly recommend this remarkable woman to help you or anyone dealing with legal woes. This lady and her team of all stars saved my life in a major way! I’ll forever be grateful for the time and effort Ms Sherwood and team put in my case. Thank you so much for everything and helping me get a second chance. Thank you thank you thank you!
