I hired Barbara Sherer in the fall 2014 to handle my removal / relocation case. Not only did she take my case but she also tidied up loose ends from my divorce that did not get done from another firm. One of the qualities I respect most about Barb is she is tell you like it is kind of woman. There is no false promises or guarantees. She is firm she gave me the best advice on how to handle my case with my children and also made it crystal clear what not to do. She is very detailed and has a staff that supports her that is exceptional as well. Due to my divorce with another lawyer I had been in the court room a few times already. When you see Barbara in court it is hard not to have your mouth drop open. Her presence and due diligence is impeccable. I also feel it is important to add she is an amazing dresser and when she is before a Judge it is really hard not to smile because she is that good in everything she prepares for. She is not a lawyer to waste your time or the courts with long speeches she makes her point clearly and is beyond impressive with your case. Barbara takes your win as her own she will fight for you tooth and nail but you have to take her advice and do what she asks of you. She is always thinking 5 steps ahead of what can or can not happen. Barbara won my relocation case in the District level which allowed me to move to be with my husband out of state and take my children with me. We had many obstacles and it did take a few years but she never waivered she continued to see the bigger picture and guided me the whole way. We had a grueling 3 day trial and in conclusion she cried with me when we won. Once that process was over and I moved out of state my ex husband filed an appeal with the Appealate court. I was pretty devestated and worried our verdict could be over turned. Again I hired Barbara to fight for me in the appeal she made no promises, besides we do have a strong case and I will do my very best. I felt very confident with her also knowing it was not her first time in the appealate courts. She knew how to do what needed to be done and kept track of all the dead lines and I was apprised continously of how things were going. After about 5 months the verdict came in our case it was affirmed we won again. Barbara is just so meticulous with details and research. Her staff is very timely in getting back to you with phone calls or emails you will never sit around wondering did they forget about me or what is going on with my case. That is a huge piece of mind when you are trying to go on with your life and not stress over everything that could be missed. I highly recommend Barbara Sherer. read more

I wanted to start this review off by saying that the team of ladies at Sherer Law Office is truly the best of the best. First off, I had never had to use an attorney before, and had heard nothing but horror stories. I had also interviewed around six different attorneys in the process of a divorce. I chose Kristen Strieker because she not only had an excellent background and education from Saint Louis University, but also because she was more interested in what was best for me and my children during this divorce process. Kristen made sure I understood all options and answered every question I had with patience and a best/worst case scenario. She was quick to analyze all situations and proposed and educated me on what our next steps would be. She always knew what was important to me, and had my goals foremost on her mind when engaging opposing counsel. Kristen and Bryttany gave extreme attention to detail to me at meetings and when going over my paperwork, both were extremely professional, and had extensive knowledge of the most current divorce laws. They were able to accomplish results that I did not think we would get accomplished after a very long year and half process. Kristen was organized, consistently prepared, and well versed during all of our meetings and in court. I could not have been more pleased and impressed with their communication by returning my calls and emails. I had one situation in which something happened on a holiday, and of course the office was closed, in which Kristen still returned my phone call within an hour. Every divorce is emotional, there will be conflict and disagreements. When working with an attorney, its about working as a team to keep your emotions in check. When certain situations did arise, Kristen fought aggressively and successfully, but still with grace and professionalism, which kept high conflict situations at a minimum. .As a result of their efforts and in my particular case, I not only kept the family home, but was granted true shared 50/50 custody of my children. Even when my ex-wife was a stay at home mom for 12 years. I had heard horror stories about men going through a divorce in the state of Illinois and even worse in Madison Country. I am by no means an advocate of divorce, but my divorce was the best thing that happened for everyone involved, especially for our children. I am extremely pleased with my personal outcome and would recommend Kristen and Sherer law to anyone thinking about, or starting the divorce process. read more

Before Barb, we had been in a stagnant custody battle for four years. Yes, you read that right: FOUR YEARS. The anxiety, the worry, THE MONEY DRAIN... it was costing us financially and emotionally. Our health was starting to be affected. And then I finally talked my significant other into getting a new lawyer. That was four months ago. IN FOUR MONTHS, Barb managed to successfully navigate a DOUBLE RELOCATION case, and get my boyfriend majority parenting. She worked relentlessly for us. We would wake up in the morning and have emails from her about our case details. This lawyer is in it with you. She's passionate and dedicated. Her staff are just as admirable and reliable. We were no longer in the dark, waiting weeks for emails to be answered or movement to happen on our case. To be completely transparent, after four years, we didn't even have a true parenting plan, and were living at the mercy of the child's mother - when she felt like letting us see the child. Barb pushed hard for us, and when the day came, she was better prepared than the opposing counsel, more polished, and fought for us. She shoots it straight and is very no nonsense - she will not sugarcoat things. She knows what she's doing, and if you listen to her - she will get the best result for you and your child. read more

I am very grateful that Barb Sherer represented me in my case. A divorce is already an emotional path to navigate, but I found myself in a very ugly divorce proceeding. There seemed to be no cooperation from the other party, and I felt as if the case was maliciously being drug out by the other party, to my detriment, as if it were a game to the other party or that I was being "punished" by the other party, for whatever reason. However, this was not a game. This was my life. Barb was there to handle every situation that arose, and she did not back down. She kept pushing forward with my case, despite the numerous obstacles, including but not limited to lack of cooperation from the other party. From the moment that I retained Barb, I truly say that she had my best interests at heart. She was with me through it all, including across the finish line. I don't know where I would have been without Barb and her office. I don't wish this on anyone, but if you find yourself in need of an attorney, who will zealously work for you and your best interests, call Barb Sherer. I'm so thankful that I did. read more

Barb has an excellent team of experienced lawyers that know how to get the job done. I have been through several lawyers over the past 14 years and I never received anything but the minimum court requirements. Every other weekend and alternate holidays. As a father and a black man I became very discouraged, however I decided to give it one more shot. Last year I hired Sherer law offices. I initially met with Barb who was very knowledgeable and honest about what she could do. My case was eventually assigned to Brittany Elliot. I feel like she took all of the proper steps with out wasting time or money . She had a clear plan for my trial and executed it perfectly . I was granted joint custody of my son and allowed to have my son switch schools and use my home address. I never thought I would get this far but with Sherer Law office I was able to be treated as an equal parent . I would definitely recommend Sherer law office for all of your custody matters.

She offered understanding, compassion and a realistic outlook on things. Her entire staff was amazing as well. They are friendly, attentive and fast to reply if you have questions or concerns.

Barb is an amazing lawyer. I had one of the toughest and publicized cases our county had seen and she took me on as a client. She answered every phone call, every late night text, every stupid question email...she showed up in court on days she wasn't required to just to be with me so I wasn't alone. She spoke on my behalf when I was too emotional to do so. She worked tirelessly to make sure Justice was served. She translates legal jargon so i understood what was being said. I can't thank her enough for taking on such a difficult case and being the biggest advocate in my life. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars because she deserves her. Her and her whole team are absolute God sends. read more
