General practice lawyer | Dec 15

Relationship: Co-worker

"Sherif is a very bright, polite, hard-working lawyer and his intelligence was evident when we attended the same high school in the 1980's and in 1990. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to practice law with Sherif, who brought a high-level of criminal defense experience from his days as a criminal defense attorney and prosecutor in Kentucky. Sherif has endeared himself to the lawyers and prosecutors of the East Tennessee bar and his clients love how he fights for their needs. Sherif's trustworthiness, competence, and legal abilities are beyond reproach. I wholeheartedly endorse Sherif and would retain him if I were to personally need a lawyer."
