Finding a great Family Law Attorney when you need one is key and essential. Finding one 13 years too late is a tragedy and this is exactly what happened to me. Family Law Attorney’s in Brevard County, are a dime a dozen and many or most are incompetent or inept. I know this because I hired and fired 2 inept lawyers before I found Cheri Abraham. Cheri had to masterfully reconstruct my entire case from the beginning to end and she did an outstanding job. The moral of my story is, hire a great attorney the first time around – it will save you a lot of money and give you peace of mind. Hire Cheri Abraham as your first attorney!

In 1995 I found Cheryl through her then to be future husband to assist me in a post divorce difficulty I found myself in. She represented me with integrity and grit. At the end of this episode she mentioned to me I had just gotten the best deal in legal history, she was right. Due to delays initiated by the other party Cheryl (we were on the morning schedule) was unable to keep her itinerary that day and when we left the court house the custodian followed us turning off the lights. She stayed with it through its conclusion honoring the terms we had negotiated prior to court proceedings. That sealed the deal for me she has been my attorney since. Unfortunately we found ourselves in court again with the other party over a different wrinkle and Cheryl handled it professionally as expected. If you need an attorney Cheryl is it.

Cheryl Abraham has more than two decades of legal experience representing clients involved in divorce and family law matters. In addition, her experience as a government prosecutor has provided Mrs. Abraham with extensive knowledge of the intricacies of prosecutorial procedure. When I hired her to represent my daughter in a very long, drawn-out divorce, she advised me immediately on how to proceed and what actions to take in sequential order. The result: My daughter won sole custody of her three children, and life is good.

Cheryl Abraham's professional representation saved my three children from an ex-husband whose priority in life consists primarily of staying high on illegal drugs. Although he does love our children, he is not the best role model for them because of his drug addiction. Mrs. Abraham's case planning, knowledge of the law, and forceful arguments during court hearings that spanned almost three years -- due to my ex-husband's repeated and difficult challenges -- were instrumental in my winning sole custody of my children. Because of her efforts, my children's primary mentor now is my father, a retired U.S. Air Force officer, whose moral and academic nourishment has fostered a dramatic increase in their scholastic proficiency. Had Mrs. Abraham not taken such a personal interest in winning this case for me, my children's lives may have had a devastating outcome. Cheryl Abraham has my highest recommendation and utmost confidence, and I recommend her very highly.

I contacted Cheryl Abraham when my wife and I separated because of Cheryl's reputation in the community. My consultation with Cheryl was very informative and helpful at a stressful and confusing time. I hired Cheryl feeling confident after she explained the step by step process. Cheryl and her excellent staff answered all my questions throughout the process and kept me informed as well. Cheryl prepared a comprehensive and fair settlement that resulted in the best possible outcome.

Ms. Abraham, her Husband, and staff were a positive force in my life during a tough time. They always had a smile on their faces, always warm and accommodating. Ms. Abraham is a good listener; she was not there to judge, just to identify my needs and fight for what was right. She explained the law so I could understand it and added no unnecessary costs or time to the case. In fact, she sped things up to meet my timeline several times, calling in for conference calls or sending Mr. Abraham ( who was also wonderful) on her behalf.

Cheri Abraham was very thoughtful and took her time to work with me. I have a disability and she was just so helpful through the entire process. She helped make it go very smoothly.
