NASHVILLE CRIMINAL LAWYER | REVIEWS

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.

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!

Cynthia is a dedicated and very savvy attorney who knows the “ins and outs” of the Mid-Tennessee/Nashville court system. I initially hired Cindy Sherwood of Sherwood Boutique Litigation in Nashville, Tennessee to represent me in a very complex “order of protection” case where a relative (my long estranged sister, Melissa Williams-Brown) had filed for a Order of Protection despite the fact she lived on the other side of the planet and I had never made any threats or even traveled to her. My sister hired Grover Collins to represent her and on the hearing date, he went first.

Mr. Collins and Melissa Williams-Brown stood before the judge for nearly 30 minutes trying to drive a (false) narrative that I was a drug addict, ex-con with a long rap sheet and mental problems. However, when it was time for Cindy to go into action—she did! Within minutes she shot down and refuted @MelissaBrownInOZ on every allegation. She also had several copes of Facebook posts Melissa Williams-Brown (and her husband, Glenn J. Brown) had made in the week prior to the hearing. The Facebook posts revealed that Melissa Brown was hardly in fear for her life or a victim of stalking. She boasted that she would be flying first class to have me “put under the jail” and inquired to her followers what wig and dress should she wear to the hearing!?

These flippant comments got Judge Allegra Walker to halt the hearing and she dismissed all charges against me! I never had to say a word! Cindy Sherwood was my rock, my voice and so much more. Please hire her if you are facing a legal issue, she will get you thru it and keep you calm!

I was referred to Cynthia Sherwood to handle my order of protection case. When I first walked in her office, I met her assistant Jamie who went above and beyond to make our visit comfortable. The office is very warm and welcoming. When Cynthia came into the conference room to meet me for the first time, I was blown away by her professionalism and personality. We had SEVERAL meetings before my court date and each time Cynthia blew me away with her knowledge of my case and her friendly demeanor. She sat down with me for hours to discuss my case. It felt as though I was the only case that mattered.

Cynthia Sherwood is one heck of an attorney. She was so professional in court and she is one that fought for me! I cannot brag on her enough. I hired an attorney but I gained a friend. I would recommend Cynthia to anyone! She will stand by your side and be on your side. I couldn’t have asked for better representation!!

Very good representation. Amazing Job. Got me the order of protection dismissed. I do recommend Cynthia highly to anyone to ensure victory is yours.”

Cynthia Sherwood was retained to handle an order of protection case that was based on false allegations. Cynthia was incredibly thorough in investigating the truth, preparing evidence, and guiding us through every legal step required. The outcome of her efforts resulted in the case being dismissed. I have zero doubt that the positive outcome of this case was due to her diligence and expertise. If you need a Criminal Defense Attorney, look no further than Cynthia Sherwood!

Sherwood Litigation overall is an exceptional group of professionals to work with. Davis Griffin, Cynthia Sherwood, Jaimee Mackey and Brooke all took my case to heart and soul. Davis IS fierce in court and gave it his all to win my case. Could not have received better representation!!

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)

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

My wife and I were dealing with a landlord that would not return our deposit after we moved out, I called Cynthia and she handled everything! She was amazing! She always kept us up to date on what was going on and got us back our deposit!! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who needs a lawyer! Thank you so much Cynthia!!
