I saw Ms. Friedrichs for a consultation on my marital separation. She explained the process of separation and divorce and the choices I had before me. My husband had given me a separation agreement and she walked me through the document, explaining what was typical for North Carolina so that I would have a sense of context and a better perspective on what was being offered. She caught errors in the document and pointed out parts of the offer that were generous, as well as parts that were problematic or potentially unfair to me. She then explained why and gave me advice on how to address those issues. I was still reeling from the heartache of separation and in no shape to understand documents that, under the best of circumstances, shouldn’t be signed without the help of an attorney. Ms. Friedrichs was kind and patient throughout our appointment and a much appreciated source of comfort and knowledge. I left her office with a clear understanding of the separation process and the separation agreement. I also knew the steps I could to take to protect and care for myself, legally and personally, through this difficult process. I recommend Ms. Friedrichs without reservation to anyone going through separation or divorce. Her help was invaluable.

Divorce is painful. Sheryl made the process tolerable. She is extremely helpful and patient answering all my questions and explaining them clearly. She was extremely competent helping me retain my perspective and navigate through the process. She offered excellent advise and listened closely to me. She provided stability in a terrifying process. I am so glad a friend referred her to me. Throughout the process it was clear that she was looking for my best interests and working hard to achieve the best results for the least amount of money. Divorce for me was overwhelming. In the end she got me the best divorce I could hope for. I will always be extremely grateful and I can’t recommend her enough.
This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Sheryl handled my divorce. It was an amicable divorce but it was still a difficult time. Sheryl was patient and compassionate throughout the process. I also found Sheryl to be extremely competent. She navigated our divorce through issues with court scheduling that should not have been issues and would have caused unnecessary problems outside of the proceedings including additional tax filings. Sheryl did this by anticipating what seemed an improbable situation and having a plan just in case. It ended up being a smooth and timely completion to the process due to Sheryl’s good work and attention to details.

I hired Sheryl to handle my divorce. While divorce can be painful in many ways, I was extremely happy with Sheryl. She not only provided great legal service but was also a guide and voice of reason that I very much needed during a new and emotional process. Divorce can be difficult and Sheryl helped me put things into perspective and maintain civility. I was recommended Sheryl by my therapist after voicing my desire to have a lawyer who would help me avoid an acrimonious divorce process and keep the focus on developing a co-parenting relationship with my ex for our children. Sheryl did exactly this. We had several extremely helpful conversations when I was getting frustrated with my ex. She also lent me books on how to effectively co-parent. In addition, I received a lot of well-intentioned, unsolicited advice from family and friends during the divorce process. Thankfully Sheryl helped me manage the emotionally charged advice and saved me from making costly, relationship damaging decisions and keep my children. Thanks Sheryl!

If you ever find yourself in need of a knowledgeable, trusted divorce attorney who takes the utmost care for your interests, I would highly recommend contacting Ms. Sheryl Friedrichs. I acquired her services to help me navigate the minefield of an unwanted divorce. She was compassionate, well-qualified, and most helpful in walking me through the process, providing adequate time for reflection so that I could make sound decisions that were in my best interests. In handling my case (mind you I live out of state), there was a night and day difference in the handling of the proceedings from that of the opposing attorney. This restored my faith that divorce lawyers are not all cut from the same cloth. Ms. Friedrichs did not miss a beat. She was always organized, prompt and courteous. She followed through on every commitment from researching court files and spotting my ex’s complaint and affidavit inconsistencies and errors which she promptly addressed to representing my at the refinance closing of the shared property with my ex which involved the added security of ensuring the mortgage was paid and paper receipt was delivered to me. I knew from the start that I had found the best resource to represent me. Ms. Friedrichs’ conduct was most ethical and in an exemplary manner, which is consistent with the character and values that I hold to. I’m pleased that I was able to come through this process without the stressors that so many individuals have to endure in stormy season. Simply put, Sheryl Friedrichs’ lives up to her commitment and values.
