I am a lawyer who has practiced family law for over 30 years. In addition, I practice in several other areas, such as criminal law, juvenile law, adoptions,paternity/parentage, property division, alimony/maintenance, orders of protection, emancipation, landlord/tenant, guardianships, powers of attorney, mental health law, DCFS appeals, etc. I am also certified as a mediator and approved as a guardian ad litem in three circuits. I began my career with legal services. Most of my cases involved domestic violence to a parent or minor children or both. Subsequently, I went into private practice with another law firm where I mostly practiced family law. Afterwards, I opened my own practice in 1999. During that time I became a part-time Assistant Public Defender, where I practiced criminal law, juvenile law and mental health law. I worked on many cases involving DCFS.

Cheryl has represented me and my family in 3 cases in the past year. She cared about what happened to me and my family members and what the outcomes of our cases were. She was extremely kind and it seemed as if she cared about us as much as her own family. She did her best to keep our fees reasonable and get as much done at one court date as she possibly could. One case was in randolph county. It was a complicated divorce case and she took care of it in one court date! Another case was a very involved dcfs case. We did have several court dates in that case but we won! How many people really beat dcfs? That is really hard to do but cheryl did it! I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone and everyone! She is the best family attorney out there and I mean that with all my heart and soul. Cheryl was a blessing to our family!

Cheryl Powell is a great attorney for you're legal matters. I had the biggest worry/case every parent fears. A battle for my 3 yr old daughter, I told her how important this was to me, she kept in touch with me every week up to the court date. She is a brilliant women that will take good care of you. Her cases are not just money to her. She cares about her clients. She didn't drag my case out to drain me of money like many attorney's will do to you. She won my case and done it all for me on my first court appearance. If you give her a chance she will do 100% the best job for you. She is a great person and I owe my new happy future with my daughter and soon to be husband that can now adopted her to this women. Cheryl Powell there isn't enough thank you's I can say to express my true gratitude for the hard work and commitment you put into my case. Thank you from Shane, Whitney and Eva ��������❤
