Amazing

Mrs. Irvin is a great lawyer, but she’s an even better person. I hired her for my dad she was patient, she listen, and she understood what she needed to do. He was charged with a crime that he literally didn’t do! She stayed in contact with me throughout the process, but even after his case was over!...

She works hard and treats every client like family!

I cannot express enough how thankful I am for the incredible support and dedication shown by Cheryl Ervin during one of the most difficult times in our lives. My son was facing a situation that felt overwhelming, and from the very beginning, Cheryl treated us with compassion, professionalism, and gen...uine care. Not only did Cheryl Ervin guide us through every step of the legal process, but she also took the time to listen, explain things clearly, and fight tirelessly for my son’s best interests. Thanks to her expertise and determination, we achieved a positive outcome that has allowed my son to move forward with his life. God bless you Cheryl for the effort you put into making sure your clients are taken care of.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST CRIMINAL ATTORNEY

And these other reviews I've read about her being an angel is exactly what she is. I had a DWI it was my 7th she got me the best deal. I have been through horrible domestic violence situation where HPD did not stand up for me or help me I had not drank any alcohol in years and I believe I was in a sp...ot where I felt no one was helping me with the domestic violence and I turned back to alcohol and a bad situation. She made no excuses for my act but she also helped me And I will be forever grateful for her because this could have been the worst possible situation the last DWI I had had was in 2009 and this was 2022 when this happened. She is an angel and she is the best representative for anybody facing criminal charges where there are other situations that need to be told to the court to help you and she is that person

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.
