Responsive, Reliable, and Outstanding Professional
Sherby Scurto worked on a private client that we represented together in a very complex matter. Her open line of communication and handling of the matter was above and beyond our firms expectations. Sherby was always one step ahead and anticipating the next outcome. We are excited to continue on working together and representing corporate clients to private clients.

Knowledgable and a great attorney
I wanted my divorce to be simple and over with as quickly as possible, but Sherby made sure to help me be aware of what I was legally entitled to and if it was worth it to pursue those things in lieu of a quick dissolution. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and always quick in getting back to me. She made the process quick, easy, and easy to understand, and I greatly appreciate it. I would absolutely recommend her to those who need help with their divorce, especially those who have a spouse in the military. She understands the special needs of those who have served or who have spouses who have served/are currently serving. Having to work around that can complicate things, but she knows what she is doing. Thank you for your help.

Dependable
I contacted Sherby via her website as soon as I got the notice that papers will be served. Getting an appointment was easy. When I met her, I knew right away that she was the right person to represent me. She responded to my inquiries and concerns quickly regardless of the time of the day. Because life goes on, I believe that when you are going through something, you would need someone who will be there for you and stays on track with you. She is professional, knowledgeable, quick to respond and passionate about her work.

Out of state removal
Right from the start Sherby showed that she is not only your lawyer but someone who cares and wants to see a positive outcome. She is truthful and very knowledgable and doesn't like to waste time. She truly helped me with my out of state removal case and after less than 6 months I was able to move to my new home in Texas with my daughter. She dissected my case and made sure that she covered every angle. I truly appreciate everything she did and I would recommend her to anyone I know that needs a family lawyer. She's not only just a lawyer but she's your friend and trust me when I say this you will not be disappointed. Her professionalism and knowledge of Illinois laws will speak for itself.

Awesome Job
Mrs. Scurto did an excellent job with my divorce. She explained the process and communicated with me throughout the whole process, she sent documents right away, and she was always available for ay questions that I had. Due to Covid-19 we never met in person but she has a warm, inviting spirit, we did everything virtually through email and zoom. She made that process very smooth. My divorce was finalized on Sept 23rd, 2020 and I couldn't be more grateful that she made it happen. I would definitely recommend her.

Divorce Case
I found Sherby online after getting frustrated with the Cook County court system. She was prompt in responding, gave me realistic expectations, and spoke frank about my desired outcome. I appreciated that Sherby made a difficult situation bearable, reasonably priced, and kept in communication every step of the way. I leave this case feeling respected and whole again, Thank You Sherby!

Not just a Super Lawyer but a Friend
Sherby, Is a highly professional, honest, no nonsense attorney. Throughout my case, she not only, ensured that my case was throughly researched and prepared, but also, ensured that I understood all aspects of the case, which in my experience, many lawyers do not take the time to do so. Sherby has been representing me since late 2015 in a custody case, and I thank GOD, that I found and hired her. Without a doubt she is obsessively committed to justice, so much so, she has dedicated many ours to my case pro bono, in efforts to attain a fair resolution to my custody case. Sherby is hands-down the best attorney, I have ever had the pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a lawyer that is honest, dedicated, and fair.

Very good at what she does.
Sherby is very detailed in all the paperwork she prepares for you. All I can say, is sit back and relax. Let her do her job. She won't tell you everything that's going on behind the scenes, but when the time is right she works her magic.

Child Support Adjustment
Sherby did an excellent job at handling my legal matter. She was extremely succinct, efficient and effective. She also went the extra yard for me to ensure that a past open ended issue was corrected and directionally set. GREAT WORK!

A top-notch family law attorney!
To begin with, attorney Sherby Scurto is like a "heaven-sent" angel to me. Before I hired attorney Scurto I had a child support case handled by 2 lawyers that lasted a year between them without any kind of success whatsoever in my opinion. Needless to say, I was very unhappy on their services . After almost giving up on finding a family law lawyer whom I can trust to represent me on my case, then I found attorney Scurto via a professional legal network and hiring her was one of the best decisions I've ever made on my family law issue. Attorney Scurto is very professional and highly-skilled as a family law attorney. She finished and closed my case very fast and I was very happy with the result I got. She definitely is a "life-saver" to me on my case. FYI, she came aboard to my case during the time that I almost lose my trust and respect with family lawyers, but she made me believed again to a family law attorney as she is a very professional and very caring lawyer to her clients. How I wished that I had found her earlier to handle my family law case from the beginning. I highly recommend attorney Sherby Scurto to families and individuals who have family law problems and concerns because she deliver results to her clients that are fair and just. Now I know why she's one of the rising stars on the Super Lawyers network because she truly is a super family lawyer and she really deserves it as far as I'm concerned. Count me in as a very happy and satisfied client of hers. I'll be forever grateful to her very attentive, professional, and great legal service that's absolutely second to none!

Attorney Scruto is the BEST in her Profession.
Attorney Scruto was a blessing in my life. I was at a point of hopelessness and dispair in my bitter and ugly 2 year custody battle with no ending whatsoever. It was a constant battle between my old lawyer and his lawyer. I had used up my saving and borrowed a lot of money but no results other than another hearing, trial, and GAL meetings. From the first time we met, Attorney Scruto has been nothing but upfront with me. She told me how she would proceed with my case, what to expect, and the outcome of the ruling. She settled my custody case, finalized my divorce, and fought for my old lawyer's fee petition. Not only was she able to do this in less than 6 months, but she kick butt and won! I will forever be indebted to Attorney Scruto for giving me my life back and for not taking advantage of the situation for her own financial gains. Attorney Scruto is the best in her profession and I cannot say enough great things about as an attorney.

Happy Client!
I must begin by saying that I am so very THANKFUL and APPRECIATIVE for the Legal Representation of Mrs. Scurto, for my past Legal Matter. She is, by far, first and foremost, very honest, intelligent, and professional. In addition, her sharp knowledge of Military Law is very impressive as well, and is an asset! Her approach to my legal matter was done with diligence and above all, dignity. Her communication with me was consistently factual and kept me informed with the important and precise details of the matter at hand. Being thorough and on top of all of the significant elements (regarding my legal matter) also helped me feel fully confident and pleased. As a result, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mrs. Scurto for anyone who is in need of Honest and Professional Representation (Military or Civilian), from a lawyer who is hardworking, and ABOVE ALL Intelligent! In the end, her knowledge is to be commended and my experience with her exceeded on all levels. As a Client, Dignity and Respect ensues--she sets the standard. Very Happy and Satisfied with the Results! Thank You Mrs. Scurto.
