Sheri navigated the sale of my parents home with ease. She made the process simple and effortless, especially with me being in NC. She cut her Thanksgiving weekend short to assist in locating and retrieving documents mishandled by USPS. She went above and beyond to get the job done.

I had the pleasure of working with Sheri when I purchased my first home and I am thoroughly impressed with her professionalism, expertise, and dedication. From the moment I reached out, Sheri was responsive and attentive. She took the time to explain every detail of the process in a way that was clear and easy to understand. Throughout the transaction, Sheri provided invaluable guidance every step of the way. She gave me confidence and peace of mind during what could have been a stressful process. I highly recommend her!

My mother passed away recently and it has been a difficult time for us. Sheri came to us highly recommended and represented us in the sale of my mother’s home. She was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly responsive throughout the process. We have bought and sold a number of homes over the years and this was one of the best experiences we have had. The entire process was efficient and seamless. We highly recommend Sheri without reservation to anyone looking for a terrific attorney with whom to partner in your real estate journey.

I worked with Sheri on two separate occasions. Once with my very first home closing, and again when I went through some legal issues. During my first encounter with Sheri, I felt very cared for as a client, and I saw that she was very reliable, which was added to my first home purchase experience. There were some bumps in the road. However, I felt very reassured by her and felt that she really had my back. Fast forward to almost a year later -I had a legal issue with a property situation & I immediately thought to reach out to Sheri. To no surprise, she came through for me again! Sheri was very knowledgeable regarding the laws and what actions I should take next. I am very grateful for her expertise and attention to detail. She is also very down to earth and understanding of all situations, taking both sides into consideration. I have a go-to electrician, a go-to gardener, and Sheri is my go to Real Estate Lawyer.

Sheri walked us through the process of buying our house in Hawthorne, NY during the pandemic. She were always quick to respond and very knowledgeable about every step of the process. From that point on we only call Sheri for any new purchase because she truly puts her customers' interests first. Wehighly recommend Sheri!!

Sheri is a fantastic lawyer. She was very helpful during our entire home buying process. She was always there to answer any question we had, and she was very professional.

Sheri was very professional and explained our contract to us in detail. She was also available when we had questions. She made the closing of our house very smooth and efficient. Highly recommend!

Sheri, drew a contract on the sale of my mother‘a house. The deal fell through. The next day had another but we supposed to have an open house 3 days later. The buyer did not want us to have it. Sheri told their lawyer if they sign the new contract and have the down payment in the escrow account within 48 hours we would cancel the open house. It was done. At the closing because of her efficiency we were in an hour and a half. Sheri is importantly accurate and thorough and then fast and efficient. I can only say great things about her.

Stay away! This so called "attorney" is a JOKE. I have been in real Estate business for over 15 years and have worked for over 100 attorneys and never seen anyone more unprofessional and rude than this woman. From the moment she entered the room she gave me an attitude (not to mention she did not even introduce herself). I even asked her to reschedule the closing if she is not having a good day and she said "OK Sir, I am going to put you in a different room since I cave another closing here" (Even though we were scheduled to have our closing at that time). We started the closing at 12:15 pm and I got out of their office at 4:30 pm and as soon as I got home they called me to come back because they forgot to ask me to sign one last page. Such a joker and full of attitude. There is plenty other attorneys who are happy to earn your business. I would avoid going back there at ANY cost.

At the recommendation of my realtor, I hired Sheri last spring. A friend asked me today if I could recommend a lawyer and it all came back to me. I told him about the degrading experience and he suggested that I post a review. Good idea. When I hired Sheri over the phone she was very nice. On the day of the closing she was very nice. Everything in between was a disaster. I would call her with questions and my calls would go unanswered. She doesn't have a secretary. When she would speak to me, she would be insulting, talk down to me and would not explain processes to me. She was always too busy and acted as though I was a burden. When you hire an attorney for such a large transaction, they should be available to answer questions and let you know what is next and what to expect. I did not expect her to be available 24-7, but to answer the occasional phone call and not to be rude and insulting. We closed and everything eventually was fine, but the process was awful and I know that this is not the way an attorney should behave. If she can't afford a paralegal, maybe she should find another line of work. Do not use. Terrible experience.

Go somewhere else. Anywhere else. She was unprofessional and borderline amateurish. After scheduling a closing, we find out that the lender attorney she chose was not qualified to represent the lender and she refused to use another lender attorney. Further both these geniuses didn't even have all the proper documentation to execute. Didn't have a title closer. I had to pay a travel fee to the seller's attorney because she refused to travel. I cannot stress enough just how awful an attorney she is.

I spent 36 years in the corporate real estate business as a broker representing major corporations and also a developer of office/ mixed use buildings; as a result I dealt with hundreds of lawyers. We recently engaged Sheri Padernacht to represent us in the sale of our apartment in NYC. Sheri is a responsible and capable attorney. She did a fine job, very attentive and professional. As always, we had some issues but she effectively cleared the way. I highly recommend her. Alan, Avon, Co.
