Atty Sherry is a knowledgeable intelligent kind woman she was my layer for over 5 years of child custody, to make the story short, at that moment I don't know what to do, I am afraid to lose the most important of my life, so just pray to find a good layer, she's like an Angel to me, thank you miss Sh...erry,

Highly recommend

Sherry is very knowledgeable and helped me get custody of my children. There were some complicated issues in my case but she navigated them well and I'm very happy with the outcome. I would hire Sherry again in the future.

Very knowledgable

I had already retain an attorney when I was referred to Ms. Collier. I was having some concerns about what my rights really were. My attorney had said that some of the things I was asking for a judge would never grant me. Ms. Collier's family law experience had taught her differently. She told ...me that what I was asking for was within reason. When I finished speaking with her, I felt very clear about what my rights were, what would be fair and what the courts would see as excessive. While I didn't switch attorneys because I felt a sense of obligation, I took the advice that Ms. Collier gave me and I won my case. I would recommend her without hesitation.

#1 Family Law Lawyer

Sherry was awesome. I had a very difficult divorce/custody case that needed a lawyers expertise. I hired her for a very reasonable rate. The divorce took a little over 2years due to the other party court room shannanagins. I was able to continue having custody of my daughter once the divorce was fin...alized. I thought because I was a Man I wouldn't be able to keep custody of my daughter. Sherry came up with a very reasonable parenting plan that would allow the mother to have a good relationship with our daughter. Sherry represented me very well at trail. I felt like she was the Jonnie Cochran of family law. She means business and will not represent you if you play games and don't take her serious. Sherry is a top notch WA State lawyer.

Hate that I needed her but SUPER HAPPY that I had her!

Sherry did a phenomenal job with understanding my case, navigating all the nuisances, guiding me thru the painful process of divorce, advocating for truth and right, protecting my rights as a father, and prepping for trial (all the while working diligently and tirelessly for agreement to avoid it). ... Watching and listening to her during divorce trial was an amazing experience! Sherry never "attacked" my ex-wife (which was very important to me), but her passionate and expert advocation for truth and fairness was both unrelenting and undeniable. Sherry never missed a deadline for filing a motion or was negligent in her needful & consistent engagement with me or ever made me feel like my case was secondary to all of her other clients. In the end the Judge was able to see the facts and rendered an extremely fair settlement and "child first" parenting plan. Sherry Collier ensured the Court understood who I was to my children, who I had always been to them, and who I was committed to being to them in the future. The Court's ruling would not have been possible without the legal expertise and partnership of Sherry Collier. Her rate was very affordable. Having her in my corner made me feel like I had my own "legal dream team". I REALLY NEED to put her on a retainer!!!! My sons and I are very happy. I love how Sherry MADE SURE their needs stayed FRONT & CENTER! Sherry never once allowed all of the 'noise' to drown out this high call. Even after the judge's initial decision, I was amazed at the way Sherry responded to the motion to challenge and amend it. She made sure she clearly understood the motion, throughly explained it to me and worked with me to respond to it. Sherry submitted the response to the motion with time to spare. Unsurprisingly, the judge denied every single request for amendment and held fast to his initial ruling. Sherry Collier is an amazing attorney. She is professional, knowledgable, attentive, responsive, courteous, mindful, a great communicator, and astute. I do not speak "legalese"! But having an attorney like Sherry Collier you don't need to. I hate that I needed her, but am glad that I did!!!!!!!! If I would have secured her services sooner than I did she would not have had to dig out of the proverbial hole that had been dug due to my lack of legal representation! Sherry Collier is a phenomenal attorney. It was a long and arduous journey. She kept me informed of the facts of the case, understood the substantive issues, and kept me focused (and encouraged) all the way through. I appreciate her gift of and love for the law. Her representation was highly skilled and my compatibility with her was an essential benefit. THANK YOU SHERRY COLLIER!
