Sherry was born and raised in Miami, Florida. Her undergraduate degree, a B.A. in English Literature, and her J.D. degree are both from Tulane University in New Orleans. She practiced law in New Orleans for a number of years, raised her family, was an entrepreneur – developing historic properties which led to developing, owning and operating a successful B&B in the heart of historic Uptown New Orleans.
After selling her B&B just after the Millennium , she went into legal recruiting. It was a natural fit. Her broad range of experience with people make her an expert on what is really important to her clients and candidates and their needs so that she is able to facilitate the “perfect” match between them.
In 2004 she moved back “home” to South Florida when she opened up the Florida office for a national legal recruiting firm.
Sherry understands all the components that drive and affect the legal industry as a whole. She has placed quality attorney candidates – both partners and associates – at top national, regional, local and boutique firms in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Orlando, Melbourne, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Tampa, St. Pete, Fort Myers and Naples.
When she is not recruiting, she is a budding potter and she enjoys spending time with her children, grandchildren, bicycling and the Florida lifestyle.

Sherry Schneider is the President and owner of Schneider Legal Group.

Sherry spends lots of time talking and meeting with her candidates to find out what each one is seeking.
