Overall Experience
The experiences with Cheryl, a family law attorney, have been mixed, with one reviewer having a highly negative encounter and another having a highly positive one.
Charges and Billing
A major point of contention is Cheryl's billing practices, with one reviewer feeling overcharged and misled about the services provided. The reviewer was charged $2500 and felt that Cheryl did not follow their agreed-upon plan, including charging $600 for being on hold during a court call.
Professionalism and Trust
The same reviewer expressed concerns about Cheryl's professionalism, stating that she would talk to the opposing party and potentially take their side, even if they were lying. This reviewer felt threatened by Cheryl and was warned that they would be sued if they didn't pay the remaining balance.
Exceptional Service
On the other hand, another reviewer had a highly positive experience with Cheryl, praising her intelligence and hard work in presenting information and reaching a fair agreement with the opposing party. This reviewer would highly recommend Cheryl's services.
