Right now, you're probably reading these reviews and hoping that you find an attorney that fits the description you may have created in your head: professional, thorough, savvy, communicative, zealous to fight for you. You're lucky, because you've just found her. Cheryl is all of these, and so much more. I've had a few attorneys represent me throughout my life, and I can say that the romanticized ideas about them are usually untrue. Generally, they exist on a spectrum from highly competent to laughably inept...with most of them landing closer to "inept". "C's get degrees" as the old college adage goes...and nowhere does this seem to be more true than when it concerns attorneys. Cheryl outshines them all. And that's not an exaggeration. I hired her to represent me in an employment matter: we had frequent brainstorming sessions, she educated me on the finer points of the law in my situation, sent me case law, responded quickly to all my emails and calls (sometimes less than a minute afterward) and believed in what I was trying to accomplish and the rationale behind it. Ultimately, we settled the matter out of court for a sum I'm very happy with. She is truly far above her peers. It is my privilege to recommend her wholeheartedly to you. “It had been her fortune to possess a finer mind than most of the persons among whom her lot was cast; to have a larger perception of surrounding facts and to care for knowledge that was tinged with the unfamiliar.” ― Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady

I contacted, consulted with and hired C. Sovern to represent me in a matter of employment. She was knowledgeable, professional, and caring. She took my case and worked with me via email which expedited the process rather than my having to meet her each time at the office. She always asked me how I wished to progress and we were successful in the resolution of my case.

Cheryl was prompt and thorough and was there to ask any questions. She made this process pleasurable and easy

Cheryl litigated my case for nearly a year..My case was very unique in nature.I was fighting for my husband's State pension after he had passed away..Not only was I in litigation with another individual Cheryl also had to defend my case to the State of NY..Cheryl is very professional, thorough and compassionate..Cheryl always kept me up to date on any developments in my case.She always put my mind to rest when situations would arise..I never would have gotten threw that year if it weren't for Cheryl's expertise and willingness to go above and beyond..

I was very pleased with the work Cheryl Sovern provided on my case. She asked questions and made sure she understood my concerns. She did not communicate to the other attorney without reviewing materials with me first. When I needed her, she'd always take my call. She is smart, wise, competent and got me the settlement that I was very satisfied with.

Cheryl's compassion and work ethic helped me through a very heartbreaking and emotional time in my life. She made sure that I was taken care of and not taken advantage of. Her knowledge of the law and the many deadlines in NYS was impressive and extremely helpful. She kept in constant contact with me and returned my phone calls when I needed to speak to her immediately. When all was said and done I hugged her and could not thank her enough for all of her support. I would recommend Cheryl highly to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Cheryl was absolutely amazing when we worked with her while dealing with some issues with a neighbor. She was extremely prompt when it came to communicating with both us and our management company. She really cared about our situation and didn't stop working until our issues were resolved. We wouldn't hesitate to contact her and her team again in the future!

Cheryl is an excellent attorney who I would highly recommend to any family member, friend or colleague . She did legal work for our notforprofit and was incredibly knowledgeable, informing us of timelines, requirements on our end and the legal process concerning our situation. Cheryl was incredibly organized, easy to reach and was always staying in touch with updates. Working with Cheryl was incredibly stress free and she is a true professional. I would highly recommend.

Cheryl Sovern, Esq. took my case and guided both my husband and myself thru a very difficult time. She was very caring, supportive and knowledgeable. She was the one person I could rely on. Ms. Sovern did not have to guess she knew the law and stood firm and we won. She is the BEST!!!!!

While my divorce was finalized a few years prior, I needed an attorney for changes, updates, and enforcing. Cheryl was communicative, supportive, and honest. I was so grateful she was there--I couldn't have done any of it without her.

I highly recommend Cheryl as counsil for any legal situation. She is extremly knowlegable, resourceful and very thorough. She truly cares about her clients and will put you at ease upon first meeting her. My case is not settled yet but I know I made the right decision in choosing Cheryl to represent me.

I have to be honest in saying "I hate lawyers!!!" This mess started because another lawyer screwed up my final draft to my divorce. Cheryl got me thru it without issues. i appeciate her work however I didnt need to go down this avenue. Which is why I hate Lawyers. Except Cheryl.
