Bankruptcy a stressful time

Sheri Nevlin was hired by us for a bankruptcy and was very helpful all the way to the end. She was available for any questions we had at anytime. She made sure we did everything we needed to do every step of the way. Bankruptcy is a stressful thing to go through and Sheri was a great help. I have alr...eady recommended her to someone.

Great person to work with

I hired Sheri for a bankruptcy, which was the only way to unencumber myself of my house. I bought at the peak of the market, then was laid off. Since I had two mortgages, I couldn't do a foreclosure and had to do a bankruptcy instead. I had mixed feelings about this and Sheri was very understanding a...nd non-judgemental. Sheri did a great job for me. My case was fairly straightforward, and I helped make it easier by having all my paperwork very organized before I came to her (apparently most clients haven't taken this step)! She guided me through each step of the process, explaining and patiently answering all my questions. She always answered my emails quickly. The one snafu that happened was not her fault at all, and she caught it and corrected it no problem. For some reason, the cashiers check I mailed to the court (for the filing fee) never got there! I didn't know, since cashiers checks don't clear your account. It seemed to the court that I just had failed to pay the fee. Sheri notified me ten days before the "you missed it" date and got an extension for me to send another check. Another attorney, who was not being so thorough, might have missed this and the whole bankruptcy would have gone down the tubes. Thanks to Sheri's follow-up skills, we caught it before it became a big problem. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

For Bankruptcy, use Sheri Nevlin

I read a lot of reviews trying to find the right attorney for my bankruptcy and seen a lot of horror stories. I dont remember finding any reviews about Sheri Nevlin. I just seen what she specializd in and for how long. She only specialized in bankruptcy situations, were all the othet attorneys speci...alized in something else as well as bankruptcy. So I figured with that and having the same name as myself, I might as well go with her. Turns out she was awesome, and very professional. Anytime I needed anything taken care of or answered she was there. There was no critisizing ever. Even after court was over she was still doing what needed to be done. Thank you Sheri Nevlin. Woops sorry for the bad ratings on the last review I wrote. That was an accident. Five stars all the way.

Sheri got my driver's license back!

I was in a really bad place in my life with no job and even worse no driver's license. Sheri filed a Chapter 13 to stop the collections against me for a car accident that suspended my license. Within a day of my case being filed the DMV reinstated my license which helped me find a job. Sheri is ve...ry helpful and easy to work with. Her payment plan helped me get the help I needed quickly.
