Great Attorney
I had an extremely positive and pleasant experience working with Cheryl. She is attentive, replies to all inquiries timely and in detail, which is something most attorneys are terrible at. Highly recommend her services.
"Cheryl Prout has been my opposing counsel on several premarital agreements. She is always a zealous advocate for her client, extremely knowledgeable as to the law, and always very responsive which is crucial when the premarital agreement is on a tight timeline. I am always very impressed with Cheryl and I highly endorse her."
"Cheryl offers a compassionate approach to her family law mediation clients and is very highly regarded. Cheryl truly cares about her clients and helping them reach the finish line and beyond in an amicable, expeditious manner. She has a fine attention to detail whether it be in drafting pre-nuptial agreements or mediated Marital Settlement Agreements. Cheryl is as knowledgeable as she is professional in the area of family law, and her clients have nothing but great things to say about her."
"Cheryl is an excellent family law mediator and attorney. She draws on not only her family law knowledge and mediation skills, but her experience as an experienced business lawyer negotiating high level business deals. She is also kind and patient, a trait that is critical for clients going through a divorce. I endorse this lawyer."
