Amazing Experience
If i could give him 10 stars i would. I have never had an experience with a lawyer before so this whole process i was going through was a bit stressful. However, after my initial meeting with Chris i felt much better about everything. Chris does a fantastic job at walking through the process as a wh...
I'm really glad that your experience was a good one. Thank you for your positive review.

Christopher Sherer is a winner
Christopher was highly recommended to me by one of Illinois leading law firms. He has exceeded my expecations and continues to keep me informed. He has become a trusted friend who keeps my case current and pushes forward in my interest. He the best.
Thank you so much for your kind words.

Outstanding lawyer
Attorney Sherer has provided outstanding representation to our county. I have been a lawyer for over 37 years, taught, and worked with other lawyers. Our State's Attorney's Office sought and continues to use Attorney Sherer on matters outside our areas of legal expertise. His is an outstanding lawyer...
Thank you very much. It has been my pleasure to assist you, and I look forward to assisting you in the future.

He does unreasonable and heavy billing...
He represented me for 2 months in an easy child custody case. He went through my $6,000 retainer fee in less than 30 days. He said to not worry and we will work it out bc he hadn't been to court yet. Chris Sherer charged an additional almost $8,000 after the retainer fee. A judge ruled that Sherer d...
Unfortunately, contested matters are very, very rarely as simple or as easy as one might hope. It is always disappointing when an adverse result is received, but outcomes in litigated matters cannot be guaranteed or entirely predicted. As such, it is unwise to take shortcuts in preparation when attempting to anticipate all that might arise from the opposition at trial and doing other background work with the goal of building the most favorable case. Diligent preparation requires time, and that time is expensive, regardless of the outcome. The Court had the benefit of hindsight, a perspective that cannot be completely anticipated in preparing for a trial. I would be happy to meet to discuss your concerns further, which might be beneficial to both of us- for me to address how I might improve in assisting others with needs similar to yours, and perhaps for you to better understand how lawyers need to prepare to do their work. Naturally, there would be no charge for such a discussion.
"I endorse this lawyer. I had the pleasure of attending law school with Chris Sherer, 1997-2000. Chris was always a leader in class and participated in legal discussions outside of the class room. His thoughts and opinions were always well reasoned and he was always able to buttress and embellish his position. It is great to see Chris having such a successful career."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have found Mr. Sherer to be a knowledgeable, aggressive, tough, but not unreasonable attorney. Although he has aggressively pursued his clients interests, he has not been disagreeable, nor taken extreme positions. Rather than run up fees, he has advised his clients to compromise when appropriate. I would never hesitate to send a potential client to him."
