Cheryl Torpey Mulvihill

I worked with Cheryl over the course of 2 years and had no problems. I had to switch attorneys for another matter to be represented. When I tried to go back to work with Cheryl again, she very rudely and abruptly told me she would not work with me with no reason given. I had never missed a payment... to her.

If you are looking for an attorney who will spend time explaining legal terms, forms and procedures to you, Cheryl is not for you. I was referred to her through my employer's legal insurance for post-divorce child support modification and the entire experience was extremely disappointing. Both times ...I saw her, Cheryl came across as frustrated and impatient, making me very uncomfortable to ask her any questions. She was happy to give advice on my parenting and my post-divorce relationship with my ex (some of which was very hurtful), but fell short of providing the legal advice I was paying her to give me. She had me file the modification without fully explaining the outcomes and when I repeatedly asked, she kept saying "it gets the ball rolling." I am now working through some of the consequences with my new attorney. We parted ways following mutual frustrations, but not before she had used all my benefits through my legal insurance. During our last phone conversation she called me "irrational and angry," when I asked her to negotiate with my ex on my behalf. Her lack of professionalism and her inability to explain without becoming irritable were off-putting from the start. I would not recommend her to anyone.

I was referred to Cheryl through a friend who had used her for his divorce. He said she was the best, and he was right. I am in my second custody battle with my ex husband. Cheryl has handled both. She has always been kind yet to the point in explaining everything to me I need to know and then some.... She does not waste my time/money but is always there when I need her. I feel she is an advocate for my child's best interest over her own paycheck. She is very to the point , which is what you want in a good attorney. I always know what I need to do and when I need to do it. She is very compassionate and kind and I find her easy to talk to. I feel like she has been part of the family "team" in getting my child through what has been a rough 3 years for him. I would recommend her services and have several times, to anyone looking for legal help.
