This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent lawyer

I hired Ms. Lawson-Weaver for a traffic matter. She really fought hard to get good results for me. I was very happy with the outcome. I would hire her again and I trust her to go to bat for me.

Great Lawyer

She did a great job and she does not give up . She took my case after three other Lawyers told me nothing they could do for me .My case was from 30 years ago. And she got everything taken care of. Will be going back to her . And I trust her opinion.

"As a former co-worker of hers, I know first hand Sherry Lawson-Weaver is diligent about her cases, concerned about her clients and up to date on the latest trends in the criminal field. I refer all of my criminal cases to her in the Knox County area (and all surrounding counties). After being accused of a crime, your first decision should be to hire Sherry. She will be your best defense against the government."

Unknown lawyer | Oct 05

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have worked with (sometimes against) Sherry since I have been a licensed attorney and she is clearly a seasoned veteran. A reliable and insightful counselor, she is tenacious, yet likable. I have witnessed her handling of difficult cases unflinchingly and with aplomb. Working with conscientious veteran lawyers like her has been my privilege"

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I know Sherry Lawson-Weaver from when she served as an Assistant State's Attorney in one of the counties I practice in. She was a very capable advocate for the State. In private practice she is a strong and effective advocate for her dui and criminal clients. I have no hesitation in referring clients to her."

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.
