Honest and Experienced Attorney

Sherry Garrels is absolutely amazing!! During our initial consultation, she laid out my options and explained the intricacies of the situation and the likely consequences of each possible course of action. As a result, I was able to make an informed decsion about how to proceed with my case. She is k...nowledgable, professional, easy to work with, and most of all, she is honest!! You can be confident knowing that when you hire her you are getting the best defense possible!!

No Jail Time!

Sherry Garrel's is a LIFE SAVER!!! At least she SAVED me from ending up in an Orange County Jail for 180 days. I picked the Best Lawyer after receiving my 3rd DUI during my 2nd DUI's probation. She was able to drop my probation violation and get me a diversion program where it can be expunged, inste...ad of 180 days in a County Jail. I also have the opportunity to drive with a restricted license to work and class, instead of a fully restricted license for 1 Year with the DMV. If you are in trouble with the law and need a Great Lawyer. Sherry is a Great and straight forward no B.S lawyer, who tells it how it is without sugar coating the truth.

Review in Law Practice

I never read these reviews before hiring Ms. Garrels, I came back after her services to deliver a comment on how she handled my case and was very surprised to see such negative comments and I wonder who pays these people to do this? First, I am leaving my actual name so people (including her) know I... am an actual client. Two, I hired this person (unlike some of the commenters), it was on me to look up information on her and to see what kind of practice she does, some of those comments are very brave but not stating their names or say that they never hired her, so how in the world would you know????? In any case, my experience was nothing but total opposite...I had a Child Custody case and she help me with the entire process, she literally hold my hand as I am not acquainted even with the legal terminology. My case was different than most as it was an international case, not an easy one but Ms. Garrels and her team exceeded my expectations. I am nothing but grateful that for one, that they knew what they were doing and two, that we are able to accomplish our goals, always caring very carefully for what was best for my son.

Awesome attorney for a complicated divorce

Sherry has been such a pleasure to work with! Despite our families miserable, complicated, mess of a divorce she has prevailed. My parents have been intangible in a bitter, nasty divorce for 30 years with no resolution in site. Three lawyers, thousands of dollars and 30 years later Sherry has finall...y cleaned up the mess. I highly recommend her, as would my Dad. She is a companionate and fair attorney. She has done what no other attorney has been able to do before her.

Excellent attorney

I have been a long time client of Sherry Garrels and I am always surprised by her hard work. Sherry is very easy to get along with, and takes her work very seriously. As far as attourneys go, Sherry is very personable and perfessional. No case is too big or small for her, and I have recommended her t...o many of my friends and family.
