“When I found out that I had a warrant for my arrest for missing a court date – one that I was not aware of – needing a lawyer I found Self Help Legal Services just outside La Crosse, FL. Lorraine’s law office is very calming which helped my anxiety level. Lorraine helped me file the proper motion to have the arrest warrant dismissed, and helped me get the whole case dismissed while never having to go to court at a very affordable price, while I represented myself. Found a great service that I recommend.”

“Lorraine Sherman has represented me for several years. Throughout that time, she demonstrated tremendous knowledge of the legal system. Ms. Sherman took the extra time to understand what I needed which made a crucial difference in my case. She carefully explained legal terms and procedures so that I would fully understand what was going on at each stage. Beyond the fact that Ms. Sherman is remarkably organized, honest, and hardworking, her fees are incredibly reasonable! I am sincerely grateful to have had one of Gainesville’s best lawyers working on my case!”

She is very down to earth and straight to the point. Her passion to represent you is amazing not only was she my lawyer but was determined to fulfill her obligation to my cases. No sugar coating, some things she said I didn’t want to hear but I know it was for my own good. Anytime when you need a lawyer is not good but its good to know when you need one you can count on Lorraine Sherman……Thanks, Lorraine!!!!”
