She is the ANGEL sent to earth that handles the Beast and Monster

She is a Beast if not a Monster in her expertise of law. She is a angle sent by GOD to protect and help HIS people who are disenfranchised and vulnerable. I am so glad and happy there are people like her in this cruel world. Over 20 years ago she help me get a case dismissed that would have ruined my... career when I was in medical school. Because she allows GOD to use her I have been able to practice medicine with Double Board Certification in a Director role for over 12 years now. Thank you GOD for transcending Ms. IRVIN heart to led her to help and protect your people. Love you Ms. IRVIN and may GOD Bless your soul for eternity for the Great and Noble work you do here on earth

SHE'S A BEAST!

She was introduced to me as "A BEAST"! Had major fears going in but as soon as I spoke with Ms. Irvin I immediately felt a sense of peace. She was very compassionate and brought her A game. She's very confident in her practice and that was a go for me! Case dismissed!

Excellent Attorney!

Ms. Irvin is an outstanding, highly accomplished attorney! She is very well connected in the court room, knows the law and has superior interpersonal skills. Cheryl was always on top of my case, it was easy to contact her and she always made herself available- even outside of normal business hours. M...s. Irvin demonstrated exceptional ability to process large volumes of information quickly and formulate an effective strategy for my legal case. Cheryl is always professional and is an attorney who always keeps her client’s best interests in mind. My extremely complex situation resulted in an essential dismissal – a big victory for us! Cheryl far exceeded our expectations and I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a first rate and top-notch attorney!

Complete misconception and imitation of a real lawyer... seriously

Did not update about case ever , $7,500.00 later did not know plaintiffs name. One hour late for court 5 times in a row. keep in mind this is coming from my notes. Voicemail full the entire time I was her client. She completely disagreed about submitting a signed sealed and delivered alpha davit from... plaintiff. she came out of court room every time with just a reset paper and in between time never submitted any evidence though evidence was conveyed even she verbal confirmed she had it and when asked again she forgot. Never gave me a call about my case. I always gave the follow up. she uses the hype of 35 years experience and that she was a judge in criminal court and has all these connections. I can go on and on but saving the rest for the Texas State Bar. Know one plays around when it comes to there freedom but Ms. Irving playing with yours she withdrew from my case and burned me for $7,500.00

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.
