Most unprofessional

Hired lawyer Coleman based on referral in 2018 for according to her a "simple case", $4000 later, after being completely unprofessional, not returning phone calls, emails she decided to quit on us...The day before deadline submission for the new order. In that 1 year span, she had an assistant, who ...quit or left along with the secretary... She was running the office by herself. She will not return the monies unused. I will never recommend this lawyer again and i will make my mission to tell the world how unethical, unprofessional she is.

Custody case

I hired Ms. Coleman years ago for a divorce. I had to rehire her to help me gain a termination of rights from my ex husband who had been absent from my daughter's life for many years. He came back into her life and demanded to see her even though years had past with no visits, no phone calls. no ch...ild support and no medical payments. He was able to get a high priced attorney for "FREE". He filed a contempt on me believe it or not!! I never filed anything in all the years because he was so gone from the picture. Little did I know what he would do when he decided to be a father. I hired Ms. Coleman who didn't make promises but gave me facts. She fought our case for over a year. She was completely thorough in her findings and filings. She knows the law and is extremely well spoken, well learned, and fights the fight. I love her and recommend her as often as I can. My ex voluntary relinquished his rights and my daughter was adopted my husband who she has called "daddy" for many years. This was all because of Ms. Coleman's knowledge of my rights. She never let me make a mistake and always picked me up after a let down. She cried with me, laughed with me and at the end rejoiced with me.

Go Getter

Ms Coleman was a AWESOME Attorney. I was in a very Nasty C. P. S Case. She stop a lot of HEARSAY CLAIMS that I was accuse of she make the negative turn to a positive.

CPS Nightmare

Cheryl is fantastic, she gave me hope again in our legal system. Due to circumstances that were beyond by control CPS stepped into my and my daughter’s life, it wasn’t in the best interest of the child and in fact made the situation worse. Cheryl, who was appointed as my daughter attorney saw that ...there wasn’t a need for them to be involved, she, was a major factor in getting the judge to look at the case and that resulted in CPS being thrown out. Along with being professional, she is very knowledge in all areas of Family Law and circumstances that could lead to factors that tear families apart. Besides an awesome attorney I consider Cheryl a friend. I would definitely turn to her again even if just for advice and or information.

No. 1 Family Law Litigator Attorney

Ms. Coleman did an amazing job representing my needs during my divorce. She was able to walk me through the entire process by keeping me well informed of all of my options. In addition, she was very affordable. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a divorce.
