My Top Referral if needing an injury attorney.

Cheryl and the entire staff handled my case beginning to judgement flawlessly. I just let them handle everything, while teaching me a thing or two about patience and the wheels of Justice, if I get clipped by another car, without hesitation it’s that team!!

Cheryl Farris, professional and personable

After eleven months of trying to deal with a large insurance company I decided to seek professional help. I then contacted Cheryl Farrish at the Certa Law Group. From that point onwards Cheryl and her very competent colleagues took care of everything in an efficient, professional and friendly manner.... Eventually, they got me a settlement five times my initial demand. Without them, I would have struggled to pay the medical and auto mechanic bills from the accident. With them, I received a settlement that allowed me to pay all my bills and leave the accident in the past.

Car accident

I was unable to resolve an accident case so decided to seek legal assistance. After conversing with Cheryl Farrish at Certa Law Group regarding my situation I was encouraged by her understanding and felt comfortable about selecting Certa Law Group to represent me. During the negotiation phase with ...the insurance company , she and Cortney Williams, Paralegal, kept me apprised of developments and sought my opinion at appropriate times. I received replies to my questions without hesitation. I am happy with the settlement reached. I would definitely use them again if necessary.

Professionalism at its best!!

Having never needed an attorney before I was a bit skeptical about the process. From day one I felt well taken care of by Cheryl and her team. I was in a car accident in 2019 and it was evident that my well being was put first. She took care of everything and I was able to concentrate on getting... well. My questions were always answered immediately and the explanations were easy to understand. The settlement process was quick and we were very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Cheryl and her team. True professionals!

5 Star Professional Serrvice

My wife and I were involved in an injury multiple vehicle collision, causing vehicle stolen then hit & run, Our Uninsured motorist insurance was liable and with a law enforcement career, I felt I could handle the provider claims with our insurance company. My agent was non responsive and delayed b...ill payments to the point collectors were calling for payment. Stressed out, I contacted Cheryl who listened, asked questions and went to work. Cheryl kept me updated on her progress from the beginning to the end with no pressure to accept a settlement. Her paralegal Cortney was also an important part of her hard working Team. I highly recommend Cheryl and her Team for anyone involved in an accident.
