Update: As of November 2021, after many years of hard work and dedication as a prosecutor and as a criminal defense attorney, I am retiring from criminal defense practice.

As a former prosecutor and presently a criminal defense attorney, I have spent almost two decades in the courtroom and litigated thousands of Misdemeanor, Felony, and Juvenile criminal cases, including Murder, Child Sex Crimes, DWI, Assault, Robbery, Theft, Narcotics offenses, among others. Losing is simply not an option. You need someone who will fight for you. Your concerns are my concerns. Your issues are my issues. I'll guide you through tough times and fight for your rights and interests. I'm passionate about my cases and clients and will represent you with determination, professionalism, and class. My rates are always a fixed or flat fee. Hourly firms sell hours, not results.

Great!!!!!

After hiring an attorney and having all kinds of issues in regards to calls not being returned and dealing with incompetent office staff. We decided to look for another attorney, thankfully we found Sherry Armstrong. She was very quick in responding to our numerous questions with thoughtful and detailed texts and email. We would get responses within minutes- what a great way to treat people and run a business. Her fees were also less than our first attorney. And oh by the way, she got our charges dismissed!! I can't say enough good things about Sherry, awesome person thats also a fantastic attorney.

fast response, trustworthy, cut to the chase

She got right back with me with advice. She gave some insightful, to the point answers that were extremely helpful. We wanted her to consult ad hoc but, since there's another AoR already, we're going to wait to see how it works out. If we don't like this other AoR, we are DEFINITELY going to hire Sherry Armstrong!!!

Client

I was facing three criminal complaints from a Tarrant County agency and needed a Criminal Defense Attorney that knew how the Criminal Justice system worked in Tarrant County. I also knew I needed an Attorney that knew their way around a courtroom and would not be afraid to defend me in an actual court of law. I was referred to Ms. Armstrong by a Police Officer friend of mine, who informed me that Ms. Armstrong was starting her own law practice after working for the Tarrant County DA's Office. After the initial consultation I had with Sherry, I knew this was the attorney I needed to represent me. I explained to Ms. Armstrong that I was not willing to accept a plea agreement and was willing to take the risk and go to trial. Ms. Armstrong agreed and reaffirmed by belief in that the case was "winnable". After hiring Ms. Armstrong as my Attorney, my part was completely done. Ms. Armstrong took care of everything from that point forward. Sherry obtained all the reports, videos, etc. and attended all the court hearings on my behalf. The communication between Ms. Armstrong and I was "expectional". I was always kept "in the loop" during the entire process by Ms. Armstrong. The Prosecutor offered several different "Plea Bargains", in which Ms. Armstrong denied. Ms. Armstrong made it very clear to the Prosecutor she was not going to accept any plea agreements and would take the case to trial and let a jury decide guilt or innocence. Due to Ms. Armstrong's steadfast stance with the Prosecutor, her diligent work on the case, and her reputation as an impeccable trial lawyer, the Prosecutor decided to dismiss all charges against me. What a stress relief it was to hear this news from Ms. Armstrong. I knew I had made the right decision to hire Ms. Armstrong from the beginning and this news just confirmed my decision was correct. THANK YOU Sherry Armstrong!!!! Hopefully I never need another Criminal Defense Attorney again, but if I do, Sherry Armstrong will be the Attorney for me. Furtermore, I will always refer Ms. Armstrong to anyone in need of a Criminal Defense Attorney.

Ross Russell

Unknown Attorney | Apr 18
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"As a prosecutor in Tarrant County Sherry was known for being tough but fair.

Lisa Haines

Criminal defense Attorney | Dec 06
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Sherry for 18 year, both as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney. I began in the Tarrant County District Attorneys Office when Sherry began law school at Wesleyan. Sherry is one of the truly compassionate criminal attorneys who is driven to help every client get the very best results possible. She had invaluable experience in so many units when she was an assistant district attorney. So she knows better than many other defense attorneys how the prosecutors view certain charges and how to handle each type of charge. Sherry is a lawyer because she wants to help people. In my opinion she is a criminal defense attorney for all the right reasons. I strongly endorse Sherry Armstrong."

J. Bush

Criminal defense Attorney | Nov 17
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I know Ms. Armstrong mostly from her days as a prosecutor when we were on opposite sides of a number of cases. I always found her to be tough, but fair and honest. She is always cordial despite being a great competitor. She is first class in my book."
