The lawyer to hire

I have used Cheryl to handle several matters and am astounded at the success. She is the most knowledgeable attorney I have met in regards to divorce, PPO's and the legal process in general. The nice thing about Cheryl is that she knows Monroe county, she understands how the judges think and makes he...r plan around that. She is almost like this quite lioness hiding in the weeds, she jumps out and pounces on her prey and they never see it coming. She uses everything to her advantage in one way or another, the law is still the law don't get me wrong but she has a very keen way of getting her point across. Thank you for the successes !!

Good Family Lawyer

I used her twice for getting custody of my daughter. Once to get custody, the second to keep custody from a drug addicted father.

Excellent Lawyer

I've used Cheryl's services from divorce to estate planning (POA, Will) plus other legal questions over the years and she and her staff have been very helpful, professional and comforting. I know that I'm in good hands and will continue to use her services for years to come.
