Highly Recommend

The sake and closing of my home happened during the Coronavirus outbreak. Cheryl handled everything professionally and timely, all the while reassuring me everything would be fine. It was! I highly recommend Cheryl Morrison for any of your real estate transactions.

Very knowledgable and Responsive

Cheryl is excellent to work with. We have used her services on multiple occasions including multiple real estate transactions and some estate planning work. We have been very satisfied on every occasion.

Two home purchases and sales

Attorney Mrs. Morrison helped with the last two home sales and purchases several years apart. Overall I was extremely happy with the transactions and when there were issues (as there inevitably will be with real estate) with the various parts of the process she handled them well and I felt fortunate ...to have someone on my side with the knowledge and resources to resolve them quickly. She understands this market and the other players. Will use again and absolutely do reccomend.

All issues resolved.

Mrs. Morrison successfully assisted me with a few matters that were left unresolved, by my former attorney. She set up child support , and developed an agreed plan for an arrearage to be paid off to me in a reasonable time, as well as a plan for funds to be set aside toward medical supplies and bills... for my child. Mrs. Morrison is a fair attorney who worked out agreements for me, rather than disputing issues in court. She always returned my calls in a timely manner, and was sure to address all of my concerns. It was unfortunate for me, that I was not familiar with her until my divorce was over, I definitely would have hired her to represent me during my case. I highly recommend her to anyone, in need of representation.

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.
