I cannot express enough gratitude for Sheridan's exceptional work as my attorney. When I faced a serious charge that threatened my long-term career, Sheridan’s expertise and dedication made all the difference. Even while on vacation with her family, she stayed engaged and accessible, often answering calls and messages outside of regular hours and using her personal cell phone to keep me informed and supported. Her tireless efforts led to the charge being dropped and rejected by the prosecutor, a result that truly saved my career. Sheridan’s commitment and professionalism went above and beyond. I highly recommend hiring Sheridan for any legal help, as her extraordinary support was truly remarkable.

Consult with Sheridan Lewis before you hire an attorney. I was falsely accused of an unspeakable crime and had no clue how to defend against such an awful allegation. How does one prove that something never happened, after all? Being referred to Sheridan was by far the best thing that happened! When I sat down to take a polygraph, the examiner told me he didn't know if I had done anything wrong YET (implying he would after the exam). He quickly added that what I had done right was to hire Sheridan Lewis. Truer words were never spoken. Sheridan's expertise is unmatched. She truly is brilliant. Her intelligence, years of experience, excellent communication style, and fighting spirit are just what you need no matter how serious the allegation against you. Sheridan offered excellent advice and helped us remain both positive and realistic in our outlook. Moreover, Sheridan treated us like we were her only client – taking time to talk with us, hear our concerns, reassure us concerning the process, etc. She treated us with dignity and kindness despite the seriousness and awful nature of the false allegation. Sheridan stands out from the other attorneys with whom we had consultations. You want and need someone willing to fight for you. Sheridan fights for her clients and for the truth! Here are two specific examples. First, bond conditions required me to wear a monitoring device. Other attorneys told me it would be approximately nine months before it might be removed. For several reasons, Sheridan thought we could at least ask the court to remove it. Thanks to her tenacity, the court ordered it removed after only two months – long before any other attorney said they would even try. Another example was the stellar defense package she and her team assembled. Several other attorneys said the odds of success were too low and they did not spend time putting a package together. Fortunately, Sheridan said we should take every opportunity to demonstrate my innocence. We knew nothing was guaranteed but felt comfortable that we were in as strong a position as possible going into the grand jury because of Sheridan and her outstanding team. The grand jury found no probable cause to indict the case and I was never charged with a crime. Before hiring Sheridan, other attorneys said the best outcome we could hope for was a plea deal. The moral of the story is this: do not hire another attorney until you've met with Sheridan. She literally saved my future because she was willing to do what was right and mounted a robust defense against false allegations. There are not words to adequately thank Sheridan Lewis for all she did on our behalf. We are eternally grateful!

Sheridan Lewis is a name that should live in infamy… for being a tornado of creative ideas and supportive help in a convoluted justice system capable of eating innocent people alive. Or maybe the criminal justice system is the tornado and Sheridan is a tornado shelter. Either way, know this: if Sheridan is your advocate, you will get the best advice and support possible. She can’t make magic happen, but she knows how to navigate rapids and help people feel comfort through the stress. Here are some qualities everyone should know about Sheridan: Sheridan can work in Dallas or Collin County, and she KNOWS HOW TO REACH OUT AND BUILD RELATIONSHIPS with people (including prosecutors). Apparently, so much of this criminal justice process is about making connections with people and trying to work within the system. That makes sense, but knowing when to contact, what to ask of prosecutors, and how to be nice but insistent in a way that builds credibility makes Sheridan feel like Gandalf (that’s a super smart wizard to you non-Lord of the Rings people). She just knows what to do, who to contact, and what is realistic. Sheridan is REALISTIC and HOPEFUL. She also “takes every bite at the apple” to help exonerate clients (meaning SHE TRIES EVERYTHING). We talked to a number of attorneys one of which was horrible and still has a five star review. Most of them told us that the most we could hope for was to settle something we could accept. I was not about that, especially because we are innocent. Sheridan had a different approach - she said we will ALWAYS try to appeal to good judgement at every stage. She was right. Our case was dismissed because of her positive outlook, her detailed work, her encouragement, and her advice. Sheridan PRIORITIZES PEOPLE and cares about her clients as humans. Our first lawyer never called us back. I know that they get busy, but never? Sheridan is responsive and communicates well. Just be up front with when you want to chat, and she and her associates will schedule Zoom calls or meetings. Sheridan THINKS STRATEGICALLY and EXPLAINS PROCESSES. With each step, Sheridan laid our game plan and then explained the what ands why. I know more about all this CJ process because of her careful insights. Sheridan is a funny woman who is considered by many in the field to be a top attorney - has impressed many and she will impress you. If given the opportunity, she will make you laugh as she guides you through as well as can be expected with this strange stuff. It’s nice to know that normal people who have a sense of humor are also available as effective lawyers. If you are looking for a criminal attorney, I promise that Sheridan will not disappoint.

She will fight for her clients tooth and nail. Her expertise and knowledge are unmatched. She is your best bet. Handled my case with care and tenacity, always looking out for me. Look no further for your legal needs.

My case wan not a headline case but she treated my case with the utmost importance. She had a important case later that day and still took the time to treat my case like it was life or death . No mater what happens to me in the future I will hire her for any of my needs .

If you want a attorney to fight for you. This is your person. Just go with her plan. She is amazing.

Sheridan was great at walking me through the process, making sure I understood my rights, and evaluating alternatives. Great at prepping for being in court too. Her confidence gave me confidence.

Not all ppl are dismissed for crimes they didn’t commit. I was. Sheridan left no stone unturned. She saw right through the mistakes of the prosecution. By the time she was done with them, the judge had no choice but to throw this case out. I appreciate everything Sheridan did for me. I cannot thank her enough! Not all hero’s wear capes, my hero wears khakis!

Ms. Lewis really aided me in my case in Rockwall County. Even though it was merely a motion to adjudicate guilt, she was still able to get a more than fair sentence on such short notice. With these troubling times, no one wishes to be incarcerated longer than truly necessary. Due to a hiccup in my past, I needed to get ahold of some paperwork from another state and county of a disposition to finalize good time. An attorney’s most precious asset is their time and she truly went above and beyond to ensure I was able to obtain what was needed. Her tenacity and word are things to count on. Thank you, so much Ms. Lewis again! Sincerely Sal G.

Ms. Lewis promptly returned my phone calls (personally) instead of a paralegal. I contacted & retained Me. Lewis two days prior to my daughter's court date and explained the circumstances & urgency to resolve the matter quickly & if possible on the 1st. Court Date. Ms. Lewis arrived at the courthouse promptly (before us), & had negotiated an awesome plea agreement w the prosecutor! We gladly accepted & my daughter's theft case was dismissed, leaving her with 18 months probation for false ID. My daughter received a job offer but it was on hold pending the outcome of her court appearance. She is now back in New hire status & is doing quite well for herself. I highly recommend Ms. Lewis as a no nonsense attorney who quickly & carefully gets the job done for a very reasonable fee!

Summary review: Sheridan Lewis achieved a dismissal in my 2013 Dallas county DWI case. I am very pleased and thankful for Sheridan Lewis and how she handled my case in the Dallas county court system. Full review: After receiving a DWI in Dallas county I began searching for attorneys to handle my case. I went to several big name, tenured DWI attorneys but felt like my case was being handled like a cattle call and they just wanted me to take a deal in the case, pay my legal fees and move on. I also met with some up incoming, “fast talking” younger DWI lawyers that just didn't seem take care of the case on a personal level. I interviewed with six different lawyers and didn't have a good feeling with any of them. I actually found Sheridan Lewis on Avvo and decided to meet with her. When we first met, I described the situation and told her my desired outcome. Sheridan took the time to get to know me and truly understand the case and it's curcumstances. Right away, Ms. Lewis knew what questions to ask me to help in building a defense case. I could really see a deference from the other attorneys I met with and signed for Sheridan Lewis’ legal services the next day. My case had evidence against me but also happened to have some significant evidence that was in my favor. Ms. Lewis found these vulnerabilities right away and began to pursue filing motions to suppress within the court system. During the handful of times I spent in court with Sheridan Lewis, I could tell she was well known, respected in the Dallas county courthouse from the clerks, to the judges and in between. The fight in this case took about two years, so it takes some time and patience to achieve the result you want sometimes. In the end, I received a conditional dismissal which I was gladly accepted! I truly believe my case wouldn't have been handled as carefully and personally with the other attorneys I interviewed as it was with Sheridan Lewis. Thank you Sheridan!

After dealing with not one, but two different attorneys in regard to a DWI in 2013, neither of whom I felt did their job, I was finally referred to Sheridan by a friend. Sheridan has done EVERYTHING she's told me she would do. She always returns my calls and keeps me informed on everything going on regarding my case. In the midst of a difficult situation, Sheridan has been honest, trustworthy and dependable, not to mention very fair about price and payment arrangements. I hope to not need a trial attorney ever again but should the need arise I wouldn't want anyone but Sheridan to represent me. If you need a great attorney, you NEED Sheridan Lewis!!!!
