Atty ,sherry is knowledgeable intelligent woman

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.

The Best!

In todays litigious society, I would say it is very difficult to find a lawyer who is both "honest" and "sincere". Often its hard to put those descriptions in the same sentence with the word "Lawyer", but after working closely with Ms. Collier for close to 6 months, I can truly say that she is all of... that and more. I was in a custody battle with my ex- boyfriend who had went into hiding with our 6yr old dtr without a parenting plan in place. I was petrified. That is until Ms. Collier stepped in! She was able to not only have my daughter returned within that week, but I came out with full custody, a rock solid parenting plan and partial court costs paid by my ex. Can you get any better than that?!? Fast foward a year later my dtr and I are thriving happliy and the father and I (suprisingly) are respectable friends and are abiding by the parenting plan without issues (thus far-knock on wood). If your looking for someone that is honest, sincere, trustworthy and extremely hardworking on family law matters Ms. Collier is the one! I would highly reccommend her to anyone I meet. Thank you Ms. Collier my daughter and I will always hold a special place in our hearts for you. God bless you!

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!

Sherry stands on EQUITY & FAIRNESS!!

I fought for my son for over four years with no progress or success before consulting & hiring Sherry Collier. In a matter of months my family had massive movement! She was relentless in her efforts to fight for what is right (something that is very rare these days!) and through her creativeness, ama...zing work ethic, and knowledge of the law we won a very long and sought after trial! If your want restoration with your child, your voice to be heard, and an attorney that genuinely cares about positive outcomes, Sherry is by far the greatest! SHE IS A WINNER!
