Thank you Sherleen and the team for their excellent work on my brother’s case. I would highly recommend them. Sherleen was very knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive during a very stressful time. She guided us through the entire process with patience, professionalism, and clear communication, which gave us a lot of reassurance and confidence. We truly appreciate the care, understanding, and hard work put into achieving such a positive result. Thank you again for your support during this difficult situation. I would highly recommend Sherleen and the team to anyone needing legal assistance.
Big thank you to Sherleen and mari for everything and all of your help through the last few years. Sherls you have been patient and taught me a lot about something hopefully I won’t need ever again. You fought for me countless times answered all my questions at all times thanks for caring and also linking me with Glenn. Honestly got the best result possible due to you and bringing the right people on to help me and give me the right advice for court thank you both.
I contacted many lawyers before choosing Sherleen, and unfortunately most of them tried to overcharge me and gave very long, unclear outcomes. Sherleen was completely different. She was honest, transparent, and genuinely cared about my case. She handled everything efficiently, resolved my matter in a short time, and charged a very fair price. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Sherleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional lawyer.
Outstanding Result & Unwavering Support - Thank You Wali & Sherleen! I cannot recommend Barrister Wali Shukoor and Lawyer Sherleen Chand from Criminal Lawyers Sydney highly enough. They represented my wife in a court case and secured an absolutely outstanding outcome for us. What truly set them apart was not just the result, but how they managed the entire process. From the very beginning, Sherleen and Wali handled our case with such confidence and expertise that we never felt the overwhelming fear or stress you'd expect. They created a sense of calm and control, allowing us to maintain our normal life throughout. It never felt like we had a daunting court case hanging over us. Their professionalism was remarkable. They were meticulously prepared, strategic, and incredibly responsive. Anytime we had a question or concern, they were available to provide clear, reassuring answers. A perfect example of their exceptional service was their proactive approach to our personal lives. We had pre-booked 25 days overseas during this period, which seemed impossible. Sherleen and Wali navigated the legal process expertly and successfully obtained the necessary permission from the court for our trip. This was a huge weight off our shoulders and demonstrated their commitment to their clients' wellbeing beyond just the courtroom. For anyone facing a legal challenge, especially of a criminal nature, look no further. We will be forever grateful and highly recommend Criminal Lawyers Sydney to anyone in need. Specifically, ask for Barrister Wali Shukoor and Lawyer Sherleen Chand – they are an incredible team who fight tirelessly for the best possible outcome while supporting you every step of the way.
Sherleen is nothing far from an exceptional lawyer. She is thorough, well prepared and highly knowledgeable. She is the defence lawyer that you want in your corner
Sherleen is an incredible lawyer. She possesses exceptional legal knowledge and is especially great on her feet in court. Very highly recommend Sherleen!
My lawyer Mrs Sherleen Chand was so respectful, professional and on point with everything. Couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. Explained everything to me in detail and very thoroughly and was very professional over the phone and in person. Would 1000% recommend her to anyone in NSW that needs a lawyer!
