Sherry Ann Garrels

Sherry promised everything... said I had an open and shut case since my spouse had a drinking problem. Said I would get custody and support. She accomplished nothing. Sent someone from "Attorneys to Go" to stand in her place for 3 court appearances while she did her naval attorney training. When... she was in court she was not engaged. She did not fight or even negotiate with the opposing attorney, just agreed. She talked me into giving up a holiday weekend with my child and said she'd get a PI but did not follow through. If I questioned what she was doing or her motive she would become defensive and unapproachable. In the end, she did not deliver. I could have done the same through legal aid. The worst part is she's sending me to collection for additional money she did not earn.

I worked with this Attorney for almost two years and she was always on time to court appearances, and seemed like she knew what she was doing, but at the end off the day she is not professional. Garrels says she knows how to deal with the court system, but when it comes to fighting a criminal case sh...e does not know what she is doing. She did not fight like she had to at trial and let the DA get away with many things she shouldn't have, even the judge had to stop the DA because Garrels was not doing anything to help me. At the end she just did a 5 minute closing statement and I was found GUILTY and i'm seeing life in prison.
