Amazing Lawyer!

When I was 17 years old back in 2002 I was arrested for aggravated robbery, I was referred to Ms.Irvin by a friend. To sum up my my case I went to court for two years fighting the charge with Ms.Irvin and eventually she got the charge reduced to Robbery threats and even had it tried as a misdemean...or therefore I never had a felony conviction on my record although I was charged with a felony the difference maker was how it was tried, which in my later years really helped me out in life far as my job and just every day American rights like legal gun owner ship and even as simple as being able to do background checks at my child's school and not be held up or denied for mistakes from my juvenile past. Long story short the woman really does make miracles happen and I thank God that I was blessed to meet this Incredible Woman!!! Ms.Irvin you are truly the best! Btw I received 5 yrs deferred probation got off in 4 for good behavior just in case someone was curious about the results trust n believe she's worth every dime!

Highly recommend

First thing she told me was "Don't worry about this case, I got this." She treated me like I was family . My case ended with an acquittal. She is very confident in her skills. If you ever have a situation and need a lawyer Cheryl Irvin is who I would call.

The Best Lawyer

Cheryl E. Irvin is a good lawyer. I was once facing 5 to 99 years on 3 different felony charges. I went to trial on an aggravated robbery with back in February of 2014. the Judge and everybody was working against her. In the closing arguments she left each the Jurors a reason of a doubt not 1 but 12..., getting me a none guilty verdict.I was supposed to go back to trial the next month in March of 2014 for Engaging in Organize Crime she got that dismissed before my court date and Got me 4 years Deferred Probation on my last case which was assault on a public servant with bodily injury. I thank God he placed this Lawyer in my life. I would strongly recommend her to any one. If she don't take care of business ill pay u back my self. Thank u so much Ms. Irvin To God be the glory..

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.
