This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excelente, honest, just, and authentic.

Ms Sheridan was so professional, and so kind with my situation during my divorce. Guided me, and helped during the worse time in my life. She is ethical, knows her profession well. Thankful for honest, real and authentic lawyers like her.

Without any hesitation, we highly recommend JoAl Cannon Sheridan for any family law issue.

Ms Sheridan worked with us on a very complicated guardianship/custody case. Our experience spanned several mediation agreements and years of court appearances in two different counties. She proved time and time again to be extremely professional and more than competent in her field. Her working kn...owledge of family law is beyond reproach and she is amazing with her attention to detail in drafting court documents. It was obvious to us in each and every court appearance how well-respected by the opposing attorneys, mediators and judges that Ms Sheridan is. I would describe her as intelligent, confident, trustworthy, diplomatic, efficient, compassionate and she wins. Enough said?

Avvo Rating

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.
