I am beyond glad that I went with Sherwood!! I am from out of state and ended up with a charge and court case in Nashville. My situation was a massive misunderstanding that, unfortunately, came with consequences. I called countless lawyers for help and everyone told me all the awful outcomes to expect and that my life was forever ruined- then I called Sherwood and was immediately put at ease with Austin and Cynthia. They told me first thing that they would handle it and I would get a dismissal and expungement. Here I am on the other side of things with exactly that! I am forever grateful for Sherwood!!!

Sherwood Litigation as a whole is amazing. Cynthia Sherwood herself is even more amazing. The help I received setting up appointments, phone calls, or emails was unmatched. I am forever grateful to have found an attorney who believed in me and believed in justice. She made me feel super comfortable throughout the whole process and worked hard to ensure the best possible outcome for me. At certain times I needed something explained more than once or translated into simpler terms. Cynthia was patient and willing to take the time to explain all angles of the case. If you ever need someone to not only defend you, but also care about you; Sherwood Litigation is the place to go. They KNOW the law inside and out!!!
