Our Impact on families

The Best Divorce Attorney!

I thankfully was referred to Sherri by my best friend to represent me for my divorce. I couldn’t be more happier with her services! She will walk you thru the whole process from start to finish. You will feel protected and she will always be looking out for your best interest! Before I met her I felt like I was walking thru a dark tunnel not knowing which way to turn or where to go.

Divorce is hard enough emotionally to have to worry about who is really protecting and looking out for you. She was my light who gave me clarity right by my side every step of the way. She will be your light too! Not only did she give me clarity but also the confidence to get thru the worst time in my life.

Trust Sherri! You will be happy with her services. – Lori

Excellent Attorney

Sherri was very knowledgeable and experienced, prepared, and helped me keep my confidence in dealing with the steps needed to get through my very difficult divorce. Even though a pandemic she made no excuses and kept the process moving forward. What also impressed me was how highly respected she appears to be by all other legal professionals. Whenever we had to deal with mediators or financial experts, they all seemed to really respect her and that seemed to make the process go more smoothly.

She was strong, focused, and compassionate all at the same time, especially during the custody /parenting time battle. I felt like she really was dedicated to my case and well-being, and not just out to profit from my vulnerable situation. I would recommend her to all. – Shauna

Sherri has been the rock...

Her candid responses, and direct guidance all married with her gentle understanding make her a force to be reckoned with. Divorce can be such a sad and lonely road. And when children are added to that mix, divorce can feel so scary. Sherri took her lawyer hat off when talking to me directly and made me feel like a human. She frequently checked on me and made sure that I understood my decisions based on the next steps. One of my favorite traits of Sherri is that she has this family-like approach. She never made me feel like a payday. She made me feel like an extension of her life which made me trust her and her approach even more. She owned every experience as if it was affecting her directly. Sherri protected the integrity of my hard work as a future single mother both from a financial and a parental perspective. She put in her all and assisted me in obtaining the healthiest situation for my children and myself.

If you’re looking for a force with a family feel all while knowing she is truly working for you and your family, Sherri is your rock. She was mine. I adore her and will be sure to partner with her if ever needed again! Thanks! Sherri. -Shirley

Great Attorney...

This attorney was well prepared. She spent time reviewing documents to provide the best care for me, in addition to mapping a strategy for the best approach to my case. She was an outstanding advocate on my behalf and was well respected by the opposing counsel.

Furthermore, she conducted herself in an exemplary manner in all actions with the judge in the case. I cannot give a higher recommendation for an attorney. – Paul
