Worst lawyer in the world

Sherry is a horrible human. Cps is the worst government job there is, it’s all about money with them, they could care less about children. I called cps on my ex wife, they called in the guy she cheated on me with, as a character witness, against me. he was living in my house while i was working in a...nother state lol. She put me on a really bad place, it wasn’t till she broke me down and made my ex and i live together, miserably, before i got my child back. When i started crying, she had the police thinking i had really bad anger issues and i got surrounded, telling me that i needed to calm down, i had to explain I’m not mad, I’m the most sad I’ve ever been. I then went and got a real lawyer, i Have now had solo custody for over ten years. Sherry you are a horrible person.

Underserved

Biased against me for my past mistakes. Did not advocate for me after the changes I made for my kids

Sherry is amazing

Sherry, was an amazing attorney. She represented me on a custody case. She was communicative, responded to my emails (even on weekends) and worked hard to get the best outcome. She fought hard for my child's well being and was undeterred by the bullying of the opposition. I would highly recommend her... and am flabbergasted by any negative comments. If you are a parent, who has your child's best interest at heart, sherry is the attorney for you. She spends all of her time defending children. Her job is her heart and you'd be lucky to have her represent her or your child.

umbelievable

I am sorry your daughter died from taking methadone and xanax and a bottle of wine and a joint. So you to be harsh on my daughter makes me think you are incompetent on working on her case. You are pushing a drug on my daughter when she is already in a recovery which works very well for her. Now, I ...saw you in court and saw you handle my daughter's case. What I saw was a mother struggling to cope with her own demons at the loss of your daughter, and I understand that. I am truly sorry for your daughter's death. But when you want to mother my daughter, and tell her the best drug out there is what you give to prisoners in prison, my daughter has done nothing wrong, She is on a regimen. You want to take it away and I have the facts on vivitrol. It's not safe for her. You did not give me a chance to tell the court. I mentioned the TBI and you said it was not a criminal case and that they were therefore not involved. When you put my daughter on a drug, and I did the research on, and she could die from, I have a problem. You are an attorney for DCS; you are against the people fighting them. I am her mother. You didn't even ask a question out of me. You didn't even ask for my visitation rights. Ms. Sherry, I don't know what you are trying to prove, but all you proved to me is failure. I am disgusted with you and the world will know about you through me.
