Extremely friendly and fast turn around!

I contacted Sherry Talton concerning a document I received from the city stating they were going to put a drainage line on our property. I was confused on all of the legal jargon and contacted Mrs. Talton. She was able to explain what was going on, in laymen terms, so I could easily understand what t...he city planned on doing and replacing. I emailed Mrs. Talton, she was able to help me with this situation, point me in the right direction for further assistance, and did so within a weeks time. I would definitely use Mrs. Talton's services again and refer her to any of my friends and family!

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.
