Cheryl is an Associate Attorney at Lambariello, Smith & Speed, LLC, where she focuses exclusively on trusts and estates. She joined the firm in 2025 and has practiced in the trusts and estates field since 2016 with a primary focus on estate administration. She began her practice in estate administration and gradually broadened her focus to include estate litigation and planning, gaining comprehensive experience that allows her to serve clients with depth and insight.
Cheryl understands that administering an estate is about more than completing legal and financial tasks. For families who are already dealing with the loss of someone they love, the process can feel overwhelming, unfamiliar, and at times complicated by family dynamics. She works to make that process more manageable by taking the time to understand each family's circumstances, explaining what needs to happen in clear and practical terms, and helping clients anticipate and address issues along the way.
Cheryl's approach to her work is shaped by the importance she places on family and reliability. She brings that perspective to her relationships with clients, understanding that every estate represents a family with its own responsibilities, relationships, and concerns. She strives to be a steady resource for clients during a difficult period, providing thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and careful attention to the details of each matter.
Outside of the office Cheryl enjoys spending time with her family and being actively involved in her sons' lives. She can often be found cheering them on at baseball, soccer, basketball and wrestling events or supporting their latest school endeavors. Her family is an important part of who she is, and the same sense of commitment, responsibility, and care that she brings to her family also shapes the way she works with her clients and colleagues.
