Amazing Attorney

I hired Sherby for a custody case, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her support and expertise throughout the process. From the beginning, she was compassionate, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about family law. She took the time to explain every step, kept me informed, and always made ...sure I understood my options. No matter how difficult things became she remained calm and focused under pressure, especially during court appearances. Her professionalism and dedication truly made a difference in my case. I highly recommend her to anyone going through a difficult family situation — she genuinely care and will fight for what’s right.

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 li...fe 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.

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 a...nother 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.

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.
