Best Lawyer for OC criminal and probation

Sherry is very capable and dependable. She stood with me for a very long and challenging probation grant. She never ever didn't return a call promptly. If you need representation in the OC criminal courts I would recommend Sherry. Other lawyers might be smooth talkers, but this Texas native gets the ...job done.

family law attorney

I have worked and know Sherry Garrels for over 20 years and she is a very ethical, professional and a skilled attorney for criminal and family law in Orange County California. I would highly recommend her for any family law matter and would use her for special appearances and highly recommend her t...o anyone that needs specialized legal assistance.

Hard Working, Honest, Affordable

Sherry Has represented me seven times in Orange County Criminal Court; Probation Matters. She always argues very hard for me and never fails to make my situation better. She's on time and prepared. I trust her completely. Her rates are very fair. Orange County Courts are tough and Sherry is able to f...ight against tough prosecutors and probation officers.

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.

Not Trustworthy

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.
