Exceptional

No one has ever gone through and explained a complex, boring document to me better. Thank you Cheryl for reviewing our pre-marital agreement so thoroughly, explaining all its points and their implications so well to me, and responding so efficiently to all correspondence. We were very last minute wit...h our prenuptial agreement, and Cheryl agreed to be my lawyer for this task at very short notice. Despite the short notice, Cheryl took the time to ask me what my goals were and made me feel understood and welcome to ask questions. I could not have asked for a better lawyer. I appreciate all the experience and expertise she brought to our conversation. She helped me think through a few changes that both my husband and I were able to agree to easily, and she was quickly in contact with his lawyer and essential in getting our final draft out the requisite 7 days before the wedding.

Great experience writing up our PMA

I had a great experience working with Cheryl on our PMA. She helped guide me through the whole process, thoroughly explaining everything, repeatedly if I needed. She was very fast to respond and progress, and was gracious when I was being slow. We worked together through a combination of emails, phon...e calls, and video chats, and through all of them her communication was clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend Cordial Law. I would definitely work with them again.

Easy, fast and efficient!

Cheryl was easy to work with and got our prenup done quickly and easily. I would recommend her to anyone needing her services. She is professional, easy to communicate with and gives great advice.

Fantastic Job

Cheryl did a fantastic job with my divorce settlement agreement. She was able to help us avoid court altogether and come to an agreement that we were both happy with. She is very professional, sharp, detailed, thorough, and on-it. She gives good counsel and was very helpful and attentive throughout t...he process. I interviewed multiple lawyers in the area and I'm so grateful to have worked with her. She made a very hard time much, much easier than it could have been. I felt confident in her abilities and she made me feel at ease knowing I would be taken care of. Thanks Cheryl!

A Great Find

Cheryl Kang Prout was just what I was looking for when I needed a lawyer for my divorce. Cheryl was a good listener and easy to talk to. She was empathetic to my needs in this situation and I will highly recommend her to anyone that needs family law. She did all the paper work in a timely fashion and... with covid it was all handled by email. Any questions I had were throughly answered. I give Cheryl two thumbs up!
