Knowledgeable and gets results...

I have had a lot of different events over the years where I needed legal help. Cheryl always listened well, came up with a game plan, and implemented that plan to get results for me. She helped me in a lot of legal situations and if she didn't feel that she had the experience needed to help me out,... she consulted with me free of charge and then directed me to other lawyers that might be able to help me out.

You will never regret using Cheryl as your lawyer,.

I was so very blessed that I found Cheryl. I felt hopeless, taken advantage of, and felt I had no where to go... Until I spoke to Cheryl on the phone.. To me that was divine intervention... Her compassion, forthrightness, and command presence gave me hope I did not have. We WON our case only because ...she believed in me and the wrongness of my situation. I would give a million star rating to Cheryl in a heartbeat.. She made me while again.

Posted by Jacqueline | May 04, 2015 | Divorce & Separation

Top Notch Lawyer

I just recently render the services of Cheryl Sommers for my divorce and the sale of my marital home. I would (and have) recommend Cheryl Sommers to anyone who needed a "getter done gal". Extremely professional, knows how to handle non cooperative spouses and quick to respond to any and all issues. ... In our very first appointment she was able to settle every topic but one that the ex was stuck on but was resolved in our second appointment!! I still can't believe it! Not only did we have multiple homes, cars and boats we were also dealing with spousal support and pension funds. With the type of person my ex husband was, this woman should be considered a miracle worker!!! Which is why I have hired her again to find my new home!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
