About Sherwood Family Law:
When it comes to divorce and custody, most people are overwhelmed and don't know where to begin. They feel that one wrong decision can cost them everything.
At Sherwood Family Law, we are attorneys who create divorce and custody plans that give our clients security and peace of mind for their future. Our clients don't have to worry about making that one wrong decision, because we help them make all the right ones.

At Sherwood Family Law, our mission is to help people divorce without worry, by making the right decisions before, during and after divorce.
1. We will meet with you at our office and discover how to move forward in your divorce or custody case by compassionately listening to and understanding your needs.
2. We craft a plan that will give you direction on how to move forward in your divorce or custody case, and will help you find long-term security for your future.
3. We carry out the plan, steer you around danger, and guide you step-by-step through your divorce or custody case. We help you make the big decisions so that you can spend more time healing and less time worrying.
About Ryan Hamilton:
What sets Sherwood Family Law apart is that we have learned to help people in a way that actually improves their lives, and that all begins with understanding.
My friends and family believed that being an attorney was just about being able to convince people to do something different, and to argue for the sake of arguing. I knew this wasn't me.
Instead, I knew I had the ability to listen to people and to understand their point of view. My dad taught me how to do that. He lived a tough life, served overseas, and came home with patience and understanding. My father taught me how to put myself in the shoes of someone else, and understand them better by living their life for a minute.
I became a family law attorney because I know how important my family is to me, and that helps me understand how important family, especially children, are to the people I help. My mission is to help good and honest people through difficult divorce and custody cases when they need it the most.
