Attorney Information

Overview

Sherene C. Stenger has practiced law since 1999, working in Estate Planning, Probate, Estate and Trust Administration, Probate Litigation, and Family Law. She joined Coleman Law, P.A. in 2025, where her focus is Estate Planning, Probate, and Business.

A native of New York, Sherene moved to Boca Raton in 1989. She is a first-generation American with family roots in Trinidad. She earned her degree in Political Science from Florida Atlantic University before continuing her studies at Nova Southeastern University, where she earned her Juris Doctorate in 1998 — serving on the International Law Journal, competing in Moot Court, and earning a spot on the Dean's List along the way.

After law school, Sherene practiced law in Colorado, focusing on Family Law, Estate Planning, Estate and Trust Administration, and Probate Litigation. During that time, she became the primary caretaker for her mother, who suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2003. That experience as a fiduciary and caregiver for a parent with dementia is what drew her into Estate Planning and Probate work — giving her firsthand knowledge of just how important thorough, well-prepared estate planning documents really are, and a deep understanding of the sensitivities involved in guiding families toward real peace of mind. She returned home to Florida in 2019.

Sherene is an animal lover and a lover of nature, from white water rafting to the ocean to flowers, and she makes time for reading, exercise, shopping, and travel. She has taught continuing legal education courses on Trusts and Guardianships, spoken on promoting dignity for individuals with dementia, and held leadership roles with the Colorado Bar Association and the Florida Association of Women Lawyers (South Palm Beach County chapter). She is also a member of the Florida Bar Association's Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
