About

Dear Friend,Thank you for taking the time to visit this AVVO site.  I consider it an honor to serve our community as an attorney.I bring a unique perspective to the practice of law.  Prior to becoming an attorney, I raised three children while also assisting my husband in building three businesses.  I am determined to represent each of my clients with the focus and dedication I would want if one of my children or my husband needed legal help.Although I hope that, beyond an estate plan, you never need my services, I understand that sometimes life just isn't that simple.  If you find yourself in need of legal services, call me.  I will listen to you, review the facts of your case, and provide you with my best legal advice tailored specifically to your situation.My name is Sherri Smelley.  Let me be there for you.

Attorney Sherri Smelley was a complete God-send to me and my son. We were fighting a long-term tedious battle and she took it head on. Mrs. Smelley has a creative lawyering strategy for each particular instance. She is punctual, respectful, and ALWAYS prepared. She keeps open communication with her clients, and her staff is wonderful as well! My son and I retained Mrs. Smelley for a divorce and child custody case, and she by far exceeded every personal and professional expectation. She is personable and will inquire your opinion and thoughts before making any legal decisions. I highly recommend Sherri Smelley to anyone looking for a superb attorney. I will, without hesitation, retain Sherri Smelley's legal counsel in the future for any other concerning matters!

I've known Sherri for many years on a personal level but recently sought her counsel on some estate issues. She has always been one who strives to seek excellence in everything she does and my mother and I have again seen this excellence again on her professional side as well. She was able to assist with appropriate correspondence and got the job done! She really does care about her clients and puts her heart into serving their needs. Thank you to you and your staff for being such a blessing in such a difficult time.

Amazing attorney! She's done her best and then some when our family was faced with a difficult situation. I highly recommend her services due to her attention to detail, her dedication to her clients, and her personal and professional kindness she has shown us. I will ALWAYS use her for all my legal needs and wisdom.

My wife and I went to Sherri's office for a simple will, but after responding to her questions we realized we were not well informed about a more complete process. Thanks to Sherri we are now in a much better position to properly settle our estate.

I have hired Mrs. Smelley on two cases involving my son. They were both criminal cases. She was responsive, thorough and very helpful in her advice, and she is genuinely collegial with others. She listened carefully to my son and my questions with analysis and advice aimed directly at the issue. The outcome of both cases was better than what I had expected. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a good lawyer.

I just would like to say that I am not shocked at all to see that Sherri Johnson Smelley became a Lawler. There was a time in my life that I was in much need of an Attorney to help in the settlement of my late husband's estate. I made a phone call to an Attorney's office to hear a warm and caring person on the other end of the line. When we met at the first appointment, I ask Sherri if she was the attorney. She said "no" but that she sure hoped to be one day, as that was her goal. I met the attorney which was very nice and professional. Everything went as we all three planned and was done in a timely manor considering how long legal things take. I was very pleased indeed. What I remember the most though is the way I was greeted into the office by Sherri. The time and compassion she showed to me and my family at each appointment. The way she guided us through each and every step and phase of the procedure, making sure we understood it all and always stopping to ask if we had any questions. That day and several other's that we had to be in the office, we felt nothing more than real concern, compassion and understanding of our needs. Sherri called me on numerous occasions updating me as things moved along. Sometimes just to check on us to see if we were ok, knowing the hurt we were dealing with. So, see this is the reason I am not surprised at all that she became an attorney because she has the heart of gold and loves to serve people with dedication and honesty. I would for sure seek her assistance as an attorney should I need one in the future. Signed with, Shirley, A loving Journey
