Lauren Lynnette Sherrell's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known Lauren for several years, and have had the honor of working with her when we were both board members of SETLAW (of which she is now the president), and consulting with her on many legal matters. Lauren is extremely hard working, diligent, and professional. She goes above and beyond expectations to do an excellent job for each of her clients. I have consistently referred my friends and family members to her for all of their wills, estate, and probate needs. They have all spoken very highly of her and were very happy with legal expertise. She is extremely detail oriented when drafting legal documents, always prepared for whatever matter she is handling, and does a fantastic job advocating for her clients in court. I highly recommend Lauren."
