This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Divorce

Sherri is by far the best attorney I've ever worked with. She is aggressive, yet compassionate, thorough, timely and genuinely a great person. I would recommend her to anyone.

Posted by Chris | December 14, 2009

Knowlegeable, Professional, Highly recommended

When I first met Sherri I was in a very difficult situation. I was divorcing an abusive alcoholic and was forced to go to trial to gain custody of my children. Due to the circumstances at the time, Sherri had to get up to speed on my case very quickly and we appeared at the first hearing in a week’s ...time. From a professional standpoint, Sherri is very competent, knowledgeable, professional and has an extremely capable staff. From a human standpoint, Sherri is kind, has compassion, common sense and is quick on her feet. I was truly impressed with her skill level during the entire process, including trial. I was also impressed with the fact that Sherri involved me in the decision making process. She asked and considered/acted upon my input where appropriate. I appreciated the open, honest communication throughout the entire time we worked together. I have referred more than a handful of potential clients to Sherri and will continue to do so.

  • 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.
