Child Custody/ Adoption Denied to petitioner

Please read! I had consulted her inregaurds to a child custody matter and I had already done all my paperwork and had reports proving my ex husband lied and falsely fabricated allegations and forced my children to lie including my ex husband's wife took part in it as well. I was seeking her servic...e, before my ex husband and his wife retained her. Before I move forward All of this happened to me because my ex husband new wife did not want him to pay me child support............ allegations after allegations it was hell with that lady....... but here's my share of experience with Sheri's Office . Moving forward I received a letter notifying me of representation of Sheri Perlmans office . Indicating she was representing my ex husband's wife in the adoption process. Which included Sandra as well who was helping in the case...... I had previously mentioned to her ( Sheri ) my custody situation and she was willing to take my case. ( previously) before my ex husband and his wife retained her. Moving forward...... I received a 17 page child adoption report from the child adoption investigator 1 year later from Family Court Services. The report itself indicated it was denied to my ex husband's wife based on false allegations and based on the history dynamics of my case. It essentially was a high conflict case. Very disturbing facts and evidence in the report that I received from the child adoption investigator. Sheri's office never reached out or sent me a copy of the report. It was amusing to me that they requested my signatures for the adoption, when my ex husband's wife consulted with them and hire them. However Sheri's office failed to send me a copy of the denied adoption notice regarding the denial. As I stated my ex husband and his wife hired her to represent them for the adoption. ( the irony of it all ) If Sheri had done her homework correctly and listened to what I had told her and read through the copies of every document I provided to her this report would have never landed in my possession. ( If she was smart enough ) she would have rejected to take my ex husband's case and not represent them for the adoption, she would of known it would be denied immediately based on the evidence I provided to her office. But she didn't do her Job correctly which is her problem and not mine :) However I am thankful that it was done because I am now in the process of bringing my daughter's home and even if it is a lengthy process. I AM NOT GIVING UP. The denial adoption report would have never happened if my ex husband's wife would have NOT applied for an adoption and if Sheri didn't represented her . I have to ADMIT it turned out to work in my favor and a huge slap in all their faces. I had definitely mentioned more than several times and nobody listened to me until finally now an investigation took place and thank God it happened because everything ( I mean everything was brought to light in that report ) There is no denying the facts and evidence found as to why the adoption is denied to my ex husband new wife custody over my two minor children. As much as I was upset that Sheri picked up the case, it actually worked out in my favor and not theirs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I won this one ( again ) #trustingtheprocess #BetterDaysAhead #trustingod

Not recommended

I would not recommend Sheri Perlman. I felt as if the rebuttal was between us and not my case. Its a waste of money to even consult her. She quickly says what she has to say and goes straight into well I charge this and if u need me to represent you my retainer is this. Not ok and completely left m...e feeling helpless. Now I need to consult someone else and my money w her is just gone. Smh. Would not recommend her at all

Divorce vs Seperation

She explained the difference between a legal seperation and a divorce. The legal reprecussions and the reason for using one over the other. It was an eye-opener. Ms. Perlman was very thorough and kind.

Disappointed

I would not recommend Sheri Perlman to handle a family law case. My case was complex and Sheri was not competent enough to handle it. She seems overwhelmed with the cases she is handling. Slow response to calls and emails and does not "fight" for you as a lawyer should.
