Christina is a great lawyer who was there for us the whole way! She is brilliant, compassionate, professional, efficient, and direct. She helped us with our complex private adoption and were so happy and blessed to have chosen her as our adoption lawyer. Even with the COVID-19 situation going on right now, she was there for us every step of the way. Thank you Christina for all that you do, you will always have a special place in our hearts!

Early 2021 I contacted two law firms specializing in adoptions. I was told it would be an arduous, costly and lengthy process because I was adopting a noncitizen adult. A friend of mine suggested I contact Christina Sherman and am I happy I did. I spoke with Christina on August 26, 2021 and became the mother of my adult son on October 8, 2021. In matters of adoptions I found Christina to be very knowledgeable capable, efficient, compassionate, caring, patient and just plain human. Throw into the mix a legal assistant who in my opinion, could probably qualify as an angel and you have the Christina Sherman LLC firm. Bertha 2021
