Divorce & Custody

Sheri and her staff were amazing! To go through a nasty bitter divorce having a strong female by my side gave me the confidence to fight when it made sense but she also told me when I was at risk. As a woman who made far more than my ex she was very clear explaining what the likely outcomes would be... in front of a judge and speak to me not only as a client but as a trusted advisor working for me. I would highly recommend Sheri and her firm.

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.
