I hired a large family law firm to modify my existing parenting plan to address concerns about safety. I was willing to pay higher fees to get the benefit of their combined experience with situations like mine but, more importantly, I needed to quickly address the current concerns and avoid future litigation. 4 months later I left that firm in tears, without my $5,000 retainer, completely confused about the status of my case and with no clear plan forward. I will be forever grateful to Jill and her staff for taking my frantic call, listening to my experience, and meeting with me the next day. Jill came into our first meeting with her laptop (and a box of tissues) and listened. By the time our meeting ended Jill had nailed down the status of my case, taken immediate action to make progress with the court, and recommended a resource that the other firm had never offered. For the first time, I felt like I had a team behind me and a plan for how to move forward. The journey with has not been without challenges though. I am up against an attorney whose bio says she, “prepares for every case as if it were going to trial” in other words… refuses to compromise to run up the legal fees until the other party runs out of money and must settle. On top of that, Covid-19 has repeatedly delayed our trial dates. Even so, I am confident that my case is progressing as well as it could, and I am getting updated as soon as she is. Jill has always left it to me make the decision to go forward or stop and understood that her fees are part of the decision. I had 4 months of invoices from the large law firm to compare to the billings from Jill. The first thing I noticed was that Jill relies on her staff to do the work that doesn’t require her expertise. That way of delegating dramatically cut the total in half without compromising the speed or quality of the work. The invoices are easy to understand and I’ve never questioned an item... which is critically important in my case because it's been delayed so many times. I hope I never need to use Jill or her staff again but, if I do, I’m certain they can make the best of it. They are also a super fun group, and everybody needs more of that. Sincerely, Monika S.

Heidi Sherman was able to assist us with document review and it made all the difference for our family. Heidi is very knowledgeable and her services were cost effective for our need - I highly recommend.

Heidi Sherman at Jill Brittle Family Law came highly recommended during a rapidly escalating family law case. At first I was uncertain as to whether or not Heidi was the right attorney for me. She made no promises of destroying the opposition as other attorneys had, and hardly seemed as incensed as I was at the grievances I expressed to her regarding the opposition's case handling skills. However, as things progressed it became more and more clear that in something as highly emotional as a family law case, the last thing I needed was an attorney who was as angry and emotional as I was. What was received instead was a listening ear, a view of the larger picture, suggestions for positive motion, clear communication and sure guidance through what, in retrospect, was the most terrifying time of my life! My family law case is two months settled and thanks to Heidi it seems like ages ago. There is no more conflict with the opposition, no more sleepless nights, no more worry, no more fear. Now there are just two parents communicating civilly and a little kid who is happier than ever. At every point communication between Heidi, the Office and myself was prompt, clear and human. It took a lot of stress out of a very tense situation. So if it's gas for the fire you're looking for, there are plenty of other firms that will be happy to send you invoices. If you want real resolution, real results and real expert help, I highly recommend Jill Brittle Family Law, PC.

I am so grateful to Heidi Sherman and this family law group. In an attempt to do my due diligence, I called a few places to try and find a good fit for someone to help me with my divorce. Most of the responses I got during initial consults were negative about the situation I was in. I even had a call with one who was so rude, I ended the call early, though I'd paid for his time. "You're screwed" were his exact words. I almost gave up entirely until a friend of mine recommended that I specifically look for a female run-law group. I hadn't thought of that - it shouldn't make a difference, right? Oh boy, was I wrong. In hindsight my guess is that these people were negative about my prospects because I wasn't a very exciting client - my divorce situation wasn't going to result in a ton of billable hours for them. They could probably tell that right away. I had the exact opposite experience with Heidi. She was so respectful and experienced, and I realize now, she was the first to actually listen. She picked up on the important details that mattered- and this made a world of difference in the outcome! Their fees are absolutely fairly priced. She also offered me a couple of different options for how I could choose to be helped through the situation (kind of like a full representation or an advice route)- which no one else offered and made so much sense to offer to clients. I cannot recommend her enough!

I can’t say enough good things about Jill Brittle. My divorce case was contentious and dragged on for more than a year, and Jill guided me through the process every step of the way. I really appreciate how she counseled me on the best way to reach my end goal. While Jill helped me try to avoid a court battle, she’s certainly not court averse. In fact, she is brilliant in court. She knew every statute, every relevant case, and defended our position thoughtfully and thoroughly. Jill knows her field of law very well and respectfully makes herself heard. My outcome was better than I ever expected, and I’m so very glad that I had Jill by my side. Her compassion and advocacy for my child and myself made a difficult situation as smooth and bearable as possible. If I need legal assistance in the future, I’ll definitely be calling Jill again!

Had a one hour consultation on an alimony issue and it was exactly what I needed. Easy to set up, very knowledgeable about the process, and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend them.

I went through the hardest thing I've ever had to do. A divorce from my wife with two small children. Jill and her team always took the time to explain the processes, and walked me through all the steps so I was comfortable and understood what we were doing. All while being very professional and cordial. Her court room demeanor was precise and respectful. Great experience in an unfortunate time in life, dont think twice, Brittle Family Law was the right choice. -TJG

My experience working with Heidi was excellent. She was thorough and efficient, and made my divorce process go even more smoothly than I could have hoped.

If you need any kind of legal help in the family arena, I recommend you hire Heidi Sherman. She represented me in my divorce case and I couldn't have been more pleased. She's smart, practical, doesn't waste your time/money, listens to you and will be honest about the reality of your situation. If you want the best advocate and negotiator on your side, you've found her.

Efficient, compassionate, knowledgable, and effective.

I highly recommend Jill Brittle Family Law Group. Jill represented in me in a highly-contentious divorce case as well as subsequent hearings involving malicious accusations and manipulation of the system. Jill was not only forthcoming and honest but also incredibly responsive. She worked tirelessly on my case and ensured I had the best representation to address the bullies in my life. Not only was she able to to succinctly and clearly demonstrate the facts and situation, she was also able to get to the heart of the matter in a way that did not add to the stress and humiliation of the entire situation. Jill Brittle demonstrates integrity and compassion when working with her clients and colleagues.

Jim Brittle was originally recommended to me by another lawyer who doesn't do family law. I phoned her up and have never looked back. Jill has helped me modify my Parenting plan and even navigate some of the more difficult aspects of post divorce parenting, from a legal standpoint. I couldn't recommend her more!
