This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Lack of communication and clarity on estate matter

I picked this lawyer to handle my family's estate issues. She took my substantial deposit and it's been almost 2 years with no resolution and terrible communication. Whenever I would call or email I couldn't even get a response! I had to hire a new lawyer, and she took 80% of my retainer. My new lawy...er had to schedule an appointment through her website because she wouldn't answer his emails or calls either. When I asked for my retainer back she tacked on a relentless amount of "fees" so now I'm paying even more money. BEWARE!

Always happy to help

Cheryl helped me with my divorce 3 years ago .... Something came up the other day that I had questions about and Cheryl and her staff was more than happy to help me understand what was happening.. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with a legal matter ... She is always happy to help when ...someone is in need

Great attorney! Worked hard and won my case!

When I first hired Cheryl I was lost and hopeless. After the first meeting with her, she really helped calm my nerves. We ended up winning the custody dispute. I refer everybody I know to Cheryl. She is great.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
