Case Handled!

Mr, Sherrill was by far the best lawyer I could have asked for. He went above and beyound to help me with my case and make sure i fully understood what was going on. His intelligence and full knowledge of the law made it easy for him to be straight to the point and vocal with me so i never felt confu...sed, worried, or left with tons of questions. He wasted no time in getting my case handled. Where as the laywer I had before kept going in circles, dragging it onand making me feel very worried about whats to come. But that wasnt the case when I let him go and got Mr. Sherrill on my side! after going in circles for months he took my case and had it handled and finished in weeks and i was very happy with the outcome. This is why he has been in the buisness for 29 years, he truly loves what he does,cares about his cilents, and will never beat around the bush! thats why I will always highly recommend him and say hes the best!

Amazing Family Lawyer...Tries to minimize conflict and excellent in trial when that is the unfortunate end result.

Mr. Sherrill has been my attorney for 5 years. I hired Mr. Sherrill to address financial issues that my previous attorney felt I needed a Business Consultant to address. Mr Sherrill handled the issues perfectly without the additional expense of hiring a consultant (during my divorce hiring a consul...tant cost me over $10K). He has been easy to reach whenever I have had issues. Mr. Sherrill does everything possible to minimize conflict which in turn keeps legal expenses down. This has not always been my experience with lawyers. He uses a tremendous amount of common sense to address this issues as practically as possible without having additional filings. I have recommended Mr. Sherrill to at least 5 people who have had a very positive experience also. Forgo the large firms who escalate your conflict to increase billing and do yourself a favor by hiring Mr. Sherrill.

I can't believe this attorney is allowed to practice law in Arizona!

If you need a question answered about your case or need an attorney that actually is looking out for your best interests, this is NOT the person to use for any sort of legal situation, especially divorce and/ or child custody. I specifically asked him to run all decisions by me before they were enter...ed into court records. He not only did NOT do that, but conferred with my ex's attorney, without my knowledge, filed paperwork and then, had me "look" at it to review after it was filed and could not be changed. If I had a problem with it, it didn't matter. I accused him of collusion, which he then immediately filed to withdraw as counsel. The proof of the collusion is in the last paperwork he filed to continue a motion. He did this after he withdrew as counsel. He knew it was going to cause me problems. It was malicious. He also asked me to lie to the IRS about my ex's income. What lawyer tells you to do that? His paralegal made numerous errors. She couldn't get dates right, I had to call in four times to get them to send my correspondence to the correct address, and literally yelled at me when a Parent Conference was canceled and SHE did not inform me of it. Mr. Sherrill didn't believe me when I told him what had happened, yet, I have the recorded conversation to prove it! Mr. Sherrill did not invoice me my bill until 48 hours before our first court session ( I had retained him three months prior) and he told me that the retainer was gone and needed to be replenished. 48 hours before we even stepped foot in the courtroom! Every time I saw him he would brag about his 30 years of experience. Experience in what? After he withdrew as counsel, he refused to give me back my paperwork, and, to this day, has never given me the exact reason for his withdrawal. I think it has something to do with him telling me to lie to the IRS. I contacted the State Bar of Arizona and the IRS. There is an investigation that has been started by both agencies. The most important thing I can say in this review is that Mr. Sherrill put me in a very bad position in the fact that he left me unprotected at a crucial time in my case. I have absolutely none of my paperwork from him and I am now forced to represent myself or take a chance on another attorney. Fortunately, I probably have a better chance of winning without Mr. Sherrill. I can back up every comment I made in this review with recordings, emails, court records, and evidence submitted to the court. I do not want this to happen to anyone else and that is why I felt it was important to explain what has happened to me with this attorney.
