Great Attorney

It was a privilege working with Sheri Kessler. There were many late-night conversations with her helping me find my son when his abusive and convicted mother kidnapped him and at one point had 7 warrants from various Judges for her. I’m absolutely certain that the majority of the negative reviews cam...e from this person by different alliances. Allow me to set the record straight…. Sheri will fight for your child, I trust her to make the best decision for your litigation. Even though I didn’t hire her (she was appointed by the courts) I would hire her for all my custody litigations. Don’t hesitate to contact her, you won’t be disappointed! If your looking for someone who is passionate about what they do then HIRE HER!!!

Find Someone Else

She was rarely available, unresponsive, and unorganized. She appears to be motivated only by what she can charge and how much she can make. Doesn’t return calls or emails in a timely manner and makes excuses for her lack of communication and availability.

Advocates untruths

This lady was the judge friend appointed advocate. In a 2yr period she met w/my child 3 times for a whopping total of 1.75hrs. She allowed the other parent to state she spent “ample time” getting to know the child and observe both households & not dispute it. She knew that was a lie. This lady leans ...towards the mom and all the BS she puts into the atmosphere. If Sheri is ever appointed advocate for your child, take my advice and request another 1! She just wants your $.

Shows up late to court, unreliable

I hired this attorney to represent me and she is always showing up late to court. Her excuse is that she was tied up in other meetings.

Trustworthy and Precise

Sheri was appointed child rep for my case. Her number one job was to ensure the well-being and safety of my child, and that is exactly what she did. Sheri was quick in responding to emails and phone calls. She was able to identify the source of the issue and settle any and all matters promptly. S...heri is an extremely intelligent, precise and trustworthy person. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family. I would definitely hire Sheri again.
