As a business owner for 30 years, I have had to fight many battles. There is a difference however from business legal issues and personal. This case was PERSONAL! I have never had an attorney that would listen so intensely and I could see her take on the passion I had for this case. Her ability to communicate with the parties involved was amazing. We had tried on our own for two years with no results.

Cynthia took on the case and within a matter of days she had created a dialog no one ells could. Being in sales and marketing, I thought if I can’t open the door to this problem and handle getting resolution, no one could. I was wrong. Cynthia not only resolved the conflict but even got us a meeting with the individuals that now has turned into a good relationship.

I have seen many attorneys that would have “milked” this case for ever. That is not who she is. She is fair, to the point and winner all the way around. Her staff is “top shelf”, and have the empathy I needed to settle down and be a reasonable client (Yes, I can be unreasonable).

If felt the need to let her and her staff know, you guys are amazing. Thank you for helping our family. Thank you for being honest and to the point. I would recommend you guys to anyone for any matter after this!

Again, thanks to everyone.

If you are in need to hire a law firm, you owe it to yourself to read this entire statement.

When you feel that you are writing a review of a family member instead of a law firm, you realize that you found a needle in a hay stack , something truly unique. The firm’s and Cynthia’s reputation as the best in Nashville and years of experience speaks loudly of their qualifications which, if anything, are humbly understated.

I went through a stressful, very emotional and difficult period of over a year with tumultuous up and downs and Cynthia, and later Davis, were always there supporting, cajoling and advising at a level that sometime even family members are unable to reach.

Life, conflicts or even sometime the legal system, can go against you when you least expect it and then is when you need true experts. As a professional executive business coach, I know what personalized attention should be, but the level of support I received was exceptional. The amount of legal work during and after hours including weekends, e mails, texts, phone calls and meetings practically guaranteed winning my (our?) case. Cynthia many times understood what I felt better than I did and was there throughout this whole period with such empathy that made me realize I had someone that cared always available and attentive . A Super Lawyer!

Just being greeted by Brook at the front door makes me comfortable, knowing she represents the rest of the team, a firm with a superb leadership, a culture of values and a flexible holistic approach aligned to the client’s needs. When Cynthia was not available for a period of time, I was very nervous but Davis Griffin stepped in with such enthusiasm and hard work that I couldn’t be more satisfied with his performance.

I was awarded my Order of Protection against a person that kept stating he always got off because of his money, but there is faith and trust to counter that. When this firm gets involved, the only drive on their mind is winning and justice.

The thickness of the folder Davis brought to court got him a snide remark from the opposite lawyer.He found out why it was so thick later when we did win.

Cov 19 or not, leaving the court, I wanted to hug all of them. I found real friends.
5 stars plus, plus, plus. I would recommend Sherwood Boutique Litigation to anyone in need.

Cynthia Sherwood was a great advocate. Her experience reassured me as she explained each step of the process and advocated for truth and justice. I received very thorough guidance. Cynthia was highly professional, respectful, kind and logical. She de-escalated my fears and frustration while representing and seeking the truth. I would highly recommend Cynthia as she does great work and thinks creatively to get a resolution that is fair and acceptable.

This was my first legal experience, and as you can imagine I was filled with anxiety. I met Cynthia within two hours of reaching out to her team regarding my situation, which was an unexpected meeting as others seem to require days in advance to set something up, even a preliminary. Cynthia laid out a plan, listened to my concerns, and told me exactly what would happen within thirty minutes of meeting her, and she more than fulfilled her word. I was due in court on two charges related to a situation two years ago.

I thought I was in for a longer legal battle, however Cynthia never wavered, and continuously reminded me that she would take care of everything. Well, she did. The case was retired, and in a few short months we will complete the expungement process. The entire court process took no longer than an hour from start to finish. The plan she laid out within an hour of meeting her for the first time, held true nearly five months later! Brooke was a joy to deal with as well, as she was always happy to fill in and answer any questions I might have. Overall, I could not be more pleased with the performance of the entire team at Sherwood, and I truly feel as if connecting with them was a blessing. I could not thank them enough for the work they’ve done. They have a lifelong referral, and my only advice to anyone seeking legal counsel would be to contact Cynthia Sherwood and then get out of her teams way. They will take care of your situation!

Ms. Cynthia Sherwood as well as her associate attorney Mr. Davis are a professional team who worked diligently to help me resolve my legal crisis efficiently and cost effectively during this national pandemic. Her team was caring, very attentive and sensitive to my situation. She personally understood my situation, not only empathizing but sympathize with me.

Ms. Sherwood informed me of the governing laws of the great state of Tennessee, possible endings to my case yet she gave me hope that everything will turn out well in my favor. Her Litigation Boutique are a honest, hardworking and diligent team from her receptionist to paralegal that I would recommend her and her Boutique to my family and friends for litigation issues that may arise in the future if they are within her expertise. I am so appreciative for all of their hard work, keeping me up to date on my case as it progress until the very end.

I had an unexpected domestic assault charge filed against me and following that, a protection order. I felt completely lost and turned to Sherwood Litigation for help. On my first meeting with Cynthia Sherwood she patiently helped me understand what was happening – legally and personally. She asked all the right questions and reassured me. Thank God she did. The legal process is confusing and stressful but, Cynthia always helped prepare me for what to expect, kept things in perspective and showed up every step of the way.

From the very beginning her professional legal team wasted no time. They negotiated my bond with the magistrate, connected me with a reputable bonding agency, set up meetings, coordinated subpoena’s and worked with the authorities on my behalf. The Sherwood team never missed meetings or reminders and we’re always prepared in court. They fully understand the legal process and in this criminal law case, protected me and my rights, plain and simple.

Cynthia is a skilled litigator; a natural for pinning down the relevant facts of a case. She is a warrior for her clients’ defense and for exposing the truth. Thanks to Sherwood’s hard work, negotiation and diligence the district attorney’s office agreed to retire my case.

Cynthia tells your story. The truth.

Davis Griffin is passionate about helping you tell your story. He took pain staking time and energy to contact everyone who knew my situation. It was a win for all and a legal and emotional help to me. Thank you with all my heart

Cynthia went above and beyond to help me with my order of protection case. She was so kind to me, and a total shark in the court room. I am very happy with my decision to hire Cynthia and would recommend her.

Cynthia Sherwood was very helpful in two cases pending against me. I was being charged with a felony for burglary, and a misdemeanor for assaulting a police officer. I was blasted on the local news for this and figured I was going jail. I used Cynthia on a prior charge involving narcotics and she got the case completely expunged so I knew she would my best option. Cynthia, and her team work very hard to clear my name, she got all the charges dropped from my record. (Source: Lawyers.com)

Ms. Sherwood has the knowledge and courtroom experience that gives her clients the upper hand in ANY case. My recommendation to friends and family has always been Ms. Sherwood. She is, hands down, the best defense attorney in Nashville! (Source: Lawyers.com and AVVO.com)

Mr. Griffin helped us through an extremely tough and stressful situation and got us the results we were hoping for. We highly recommend him. He was compassionate, patient and very knowledgeable through the entire process.

My lawyer Davis Griffin did everything right . Defended me to the end of the world and also helped me regain some sense of clarity and safety in regards to my situation . Completely dominated in the court and was very informative on all outcomes and legality’s I was unfamiliar with. Hired him because I needed defense in an order of protection case against me . And I don’t regret a single expense paid to have him standing by my side in that court room. I am stress how highly I recommend the services you will get from him and the employees at Sherwood litigations.

I’m able to breathe again because of the help from him. Not only did we win the order of protection out against me . We also countered it with my own order of protection and won unanimously! He is By far the Muhammad Ali in the law world and only getting better with time ! Trust me save your time pursuing other law firms and just go with Mr. Griffin you won’t be disappointed not one bit! 

Former Client

He took painstaking time to review every document of over 100 pages. Combed through to find witnesses to support my case. This was a ver important administrative hearing that was undeniable yet we came out with a good win. I see opportunities I never have seen before. Thank you Davis

Jacqueline

I hired Davis Griffin and he was professional, courteous, and was able to achieve exactly the outcome I was hoping for. 

Former Client

Cynthia was able to provide astute guidance and counsel prior to and during the process of negotiating a very favorable resolution to criminal charges against my child. I don’t believe we would have achieved the positive outcome without her expertise.

Former Client
