Testimonials

" I was involved in a domestic violence and sexually abusive marriage for 22 years. I have four children. I stayed and suffered, I was confused and fearful without direction until I met Sherri Donovan at the NOW clinic. Ms. Donovan is one the best attorneys that anyone would love to have. Sherri is a great lioness that does not back out of any case. She will fight with all she’s got to provide you with excellent services in the court. Ms. Donovan is a very good listener and compassionate. I can always count on her at any time. Sherri helped me break out of my shackles. I was on the verge of depression and suicidal before I was rescued by Sherri Donovan. Today, I am glad to say that I am a different person and I have taken good control of my life. I am able to provide for my children with a stable home environment. I strongly recommend Sherri to anyone who needs an effective, reliable and knowledgeable matrimonial attorney"

"I send this to thank you for all your help with this eight-year horror story. Having gone through three previous cases... and three previous lawyers who had no interest in representing me, you are the first REAL lawyer who changed my eight-year horror story into a story with a great ending. You did in a couple of months what no one else could in eight years. I can't thank you enough for being there for me when I really needed your help. You have a passion for what you do [and] that makes you the best at it. You also care about representing your clients. [During my] three previous cases with the plaintiff, I constantly went to court and listened to other lawyers talk to their clients and talk to other lawyers. After that experience in court, I can say without question, you are the best matrimonial lawyer in New York State. I will be recommending you to anyone and everyone who needs a matrimonial lawyer. The bottom line is you saved my life... You were able to get a settlement very quickly that was in my best interests. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you."

"It was a great day in Court yesterday! Like I said, I felt like I was watching Venus & Serena Williams power it out on the court--and my ex was the ball! Thanks for being you and doing what you do so well."

"Document looked amazing. That Sherri is a goddess!! Thank you."

"Thank you for your diligence and support throughout my divorce case. After unsuccessfully working with a divorce mediator for a few months I am grateful that I was referred to you by the Coalition of Justice for Women. I had been feeling hopeless about my short-term marriage situation and your assertive representation and experience gave me an immediate sense of freedom and confidence that I had lost. Not to mention, the great success you had in closing a complicated divorce agreement. Given my short-term marriage, I feel the settlement you won on my behalf was substantial and gave me financial security as well as the confidence to move on with my life. I have already referred two friends of mine to you and they are experiencing a similar sense of security in your legal representation."

"Sherri, you went all out and the results were outstanding! ...I still can't believe... that you were able to get me out of there. I know that was and is a lot of hard work on your part. I truly appreciate everything you have done and everything you are doing. I'd probably still be rotting in that jail if it hadn't been for you. Thank you so much."

To the National Organization for Women:

"...Sherri Donovan and Janice Page were incredibly thorough, caring and committed people... I am truly indebted to them for the information provided to give me the strength and articulation to get through the first round [of divorce] without the assistance and know-how of legal representation."

"Today has honestly been a wonderful and educationally fulfilling day. Because of your generosity to help me get a better understanding of the law, my eyes have now opened to the many aspects that the law has to offer. Today was just an amazing day, and I just cannot believe the incredible experience I had which is all thanks to you. You are a phenomenal lawyer and it was truly an honor to have been your "shadow" for today and hopefully in the future. I would end this with "best of luck", but you've already succeeded in your career. Yours truly, Amber"
