Reviews
Cheryl went above and beyond to both represent my interests and negotiate a fair settlement. I had a complex case involving a chronically ill adult child and an ownership position in a business. She always made herself available and brought consistent insight, compassion and professionalism to her work. I believe she is a rare find--I never felt like a number despite the fact that she was handling many other cases simultaneously. Cheryl really cares about her clients and made a difficult process more bearable through her kindness and creativity. I would recommend her to anyone without reservation.
