Hired Attorney

I hired her from a referral from one of her friends.. and what a bad idea that was! When face with a black and white mistake on paper she said oh well, MAYBE the funds are in escrow (at the firm she left!) but has been zero help! I didn’t use her again after that transaction because she behaved like a nasty bully during THAT encounter, and I think she knew that she was leaving there, and I would not be surprised if it isn’t on purpose. Meanwhile, the firm she left is no better as they’re not helping either!!! Imagine layers making an over 3000.00 error NOT in your favor, and saying tough luck! But if you owe them money, ha, they will hound you to death! I wonder what they DID with it? I will be filing a lawsuit. See you in court Shari. Along with Kenney, Shelton Knowak, Liptak..

Hired Attorney

Simply put don’t hire her. She was rude, abrasive and condescending. More often than not I left our conversations feeling insulted, talked down to and wondering who’s side she was on. She often was trying to turn a simple family court issues into a long drawn out expensive ordeal to run up the billable hours. She’s as pleasant as a porcupine. Don’t waste your money on this woman. There are plenty of better options.

Sheri Jo is a nasty person that does not treat people with respect. They are overpriced and not worth it at all. They drag cases out so they can charge you more and more and they don't fight for you or your child. They just want you to settle so they don't have to put the work in. I wasted so much money them. Don't make the same mistake.

Response from
As I have no idea who this client is, I can only say that I am saddened s/he feels the matter we handled for him/her was not resolved to his/her satisfaction. I can also say the firm is known for its zealous representation and reasonable fees. Thank you

Shari Jo is disrespectful and clueless. She may use the excuse that she's tough and fights for her her clients, but in reality she is just a stuck up, nasty person that treats people like they an ATM. I would never recommend her to anyone and I would tell any lawyer or client not to be intimidated by her. Her bark is much worse than her bite.
