“Absolutely the best lawyer in Andalusia. He truly cares and fights FOR you. He's very sharp witted and on top of the details of the case and isn't timid about being a shark when it calls for it. Ive had the pleasure of using him several times over the past couple years and he always gets the job done.

“Mr Scherf took my case when many others were barely even willing to discuss it with me, much less take the case.

Read more“Mr Scherf took my case when many others were barely even willing to discuss it with me, much less take the case. My case was a divorce/custody case that had gotten very complicated with multiple states involved, as well as many other things. He very quickly got things turned around and headed in the right direction for me. Even with all of the confusion, dishonesty (from my ex), misrepresentation (by my ex), and out right false accusations made by my ex, I was extremely happy with the court's ruling on the matter. As far as his fees, I can tell you this, he is VERY reasonable, in fact, he's more than reasonable, and will see you through to the end, with no hidden or additional fees. Past lawyers seemed to love billing me for every single paper clip and envelope that they used, even the envelope used to send me the bill! Not John. He let me know the price up front, and that was all I paid! Extremely fair, and Amazing in the court room! He was definitely prepared for trial, and I left court feeling very pleased! I definitely recommend John Scherf.”

“This man, attorney wise, is truly a blessing! He truly cares and knows what he is doing, which I feel fuels his shark like mentality, quick whit, and attention to detail in cases and the courtroom. He is definitely a force to be reckoned with!”
