Exceeded Deadlines, Exceeded Expectations

Cheryl was outstanding to work with—knowledgeable, dependable, and a straight talker. Her impeccable timing and prompt response rate made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She not only met deadlines, she was early, even with a tight turnaround time. Expectations were exceeded. She was always... available when needed and offered excellent recommendations throughout. Pleasant to work with and highly professional, I would highly recommend Cheryl to anyone in need of reliable legal guidance.

Pre Marital Agreement

I worked with Cheryl to represent me and review a pre marital agreement drafted by my fiancee's attorney and she was great to work with. I had a tight deadline given the date of my civil ceremony but Cheryl was efficient and we got everything completed in time. I appreciated that she walked me throug...h my agreement and took the time to explain each section and answered my questions thoroughly. She also stayed on top of email correspondence with my fiancee's attorney and ensured my amendments were included in the final agreement. Overall Cheryl is very transparent and pleasant to work with - would highly recommend!

Extremely helpful for prenup representation

I contacted Cheryl to help handle my side of the prenup agreement process, as she was one of the recommended attorneys from my wife's representation. Since my wife and I were in agreement on most things, the process was relatively easy, but there was a certain apprehension on the legalese of how we w...anted to cover our items. Throughout the process, Cheryl was very communicative and prompt in responding to inquiries. She took the time to also go over line-by-line the final prenup agreement and offered some insights into how to translate what we wanted into the appropriate legal language. I'd highly recommend working with Attorney Prout for your prenup needs as she was incredibly patient and professional!

Dissolution of Marriage

Cheryl was responsive, professional, and patient. She reassured us every step of the way throughout our mediation process. When others had told us that our judgement may not be approved, Cheryl was happy to take our case and it was accepted within a timely manner. Her prices are extremely reasonable ...for the quality of service and support provided. I will keep Cordial Family Lawyers in mind should I ever need legal services in the future.

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.
