This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Take your business elsewhere

I retained Lanier to prepare our family trust and paid her upfront in full. Shortly after the initial intake, she and one of her associates decided to go their own ways, and somehow I was lost in the shuffle. She stopped responding to calls or emails. It wasn't until we made a claim with the bar that... she finally contacted us stating she changed her email addresses and phone numbers, but she sent that from the very email I had been writing to for the last few months! She then submitted a false invoice of dates and times "we had met," which I could prove didn't occur as I was working those days and times. Long story short- she took our money and never provided the product we paid her for!

Difficult Probate

Cherisse handled a very difficult probate case for me that had a layer of family issues. The property is in California and all parties were located in different states. With her help it went smoother than expected. she did an outstanding job of mediating.

"Excellent attorney with years of experience in estate planning. Attorney Lanier is a knowledgeable and thoughtful attorney, who has a compassionate, perceptive approach to the practice of law that is so unusual in the legal community. For her it is as much about creating healing and contentment in the lives of her clients, as it is about providing resolute and dedicated legal representation."

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.
