Sheryl Ann McDonnell

I selected Ms. McDonnell because of her reputation for tenacity. She came highly recommended by the people that know best...other lawyers. I had checked with a few attorneys and when they heard who I was up against...they insisted I meet with Ms. McDonnell. They were right! She is class, with ...a little bit of pitbull. She was always prepared for court and her legal analysis of the law and facts was completely on point. No matter what the other side or the judge said...she never stopped until everyone in the courtroom understood the nuances of my case. She was nothing short of amazing. I see posts online about her billing or costs. You get what you pay for. When children and property are at stake...you don't want some $1,500 flat fee hack that won't research every detail of your case. Her fees are reasonable and like I said...she earned it all when she stepped into the courtroom. Have a tough case? Call Sheryl. You owe it to your kids and your pension to call her!

Divorce is not really an easy thing to go through and no one goes in to a marriage preparing for a divorce. So, unfortunately, it’s a confusing time. Mrs. McDonnell was nothing short of the perfect blend of professionalism, effectiveness, and compassion. She was an ear when I needed one. She was v...ery professional in all her communications and processes. And, she was extremely effective in insuring the outcome of my case was one that helped me move on to the next part of my life. Her staff was also incredible to work with. I highly recommend Mrs. McDonnell.

Mrs. McDonnell is the best! She has been very aggressive when needed and when appropriate. She has listened to my concerns and needs as the client, and be diligent in looking out for my best interests as my attorney. I can't say enough because I was in a major custody battle and she prevailed for me ...and my son! I can't thank her enough and spread the good word about her and her level of knowledge and expertise in family law regarding divorce and custody situations. It just flows and comes naturally for her! She is very experienced when it comes to family law! I don't believe I would be where I am today without her! 

Before I met Ms. McDonnell, I was paying over 2,000 a month in child support and I hardly ever saw my kids(90/10 visitation). My ex was essentially just trying to paint me out as a bad guy to get my visitation down to increase her support payments. Sheryl saw through that and proved to the court that... my ex had been lying the whole time. We then got 50/50 visitation (which was all I had wanted the whole time), and my child support payments were down to a fraction of what they had been before. I also got to keep my retirement which I had all but said goodbye to. Now I won't lie there were times it was hard to understand what was going on in my case, but I realized they were working on it and the less I made a fuss and just did what they told me to, the less I had to pay and the faster the case went. Which was admittedly difficult for the control freak in me, but I'd rather have an attorney that knows what she's doing like Sheryl, than one that pats my hand and gets their butt kicked in court.
