Petition for Name Change in Riverside County

I retained Mrs. Sherwood and her law firm to file a name change in the county of Riverside. She and here paralegal (Sara) were always polite and professional. The name change was filed and approved in a timely manner in the Superior Court of California. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a civil.../family lawyer in Southern California.

R&S was great

Michelle handled my case but all the staff at R&S were courteous, professional, and efficient. Finalized my Divorce in a timely matter and reasonably priced too.

Compassionate & Assertively Fights for Your Rights

Michelle and her staff are very compassionate when listening to your challenges. Divorce and child custody cases are difficult events in one’s life and Michelle and her team take the time to listen to your specific circumstances and truly care about their clients. Michelle will also fight the tough... battles and stands up for what is right, she has impeccable ethics and assertively and aggressively negotiates a fair and equitable solution with your desired results in mind at all times. In my case, she successfully negotiated an excellent custodial agreement that awarded me 50% custody of my son, against unsurmountable odds, against a legal opponent with unlimited means. I thought I did not stand a chance against my ex-spouse that literally had no end to her financial resources fighting her battle. Michelle stood up to the opposing council and we held our ground. She proved that taking the right, ethical, and moral position is the best approach. She also negotiated the financial aspects of the divorce, which resulted in a very favorable final agreement. I highly recommend Michelle and her staff to friends and family. She goes above and beyond the call of duty when fighting for you. She is not just my attorney, but a true friend. Thank you to Michelle and her staff!

No nonsense representation

Put your mind at ease and visit Michelle and her staff. I have hired her twice and referred her many times. You will be amazed how you will feel after leaving her office. I am very satisfied with the results from my cases as Michelle and her staff exceeded my expectations.

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.
