I’m Sherry Landry Schultz, an attorney licensed in Louisiana and Texas who has always had a passion for research, writing, creativity and learning—in other words, a geek.. I started out as an elementary school teacher in 1986, teaching eager-to-learn second graders in a self-contained environment. A few years later, seeking a new challenge, I moved to the public middle school I attended as a child and taught seventh-grade English. Two years later, I was named the “Jefferson Parish Middle School Teacher of the Year.” The following year (with hopes of one day earning enough to buy a house), I took the LSAT and applied to law school.. Luckily for me, Loyola Law School awarded me a full scholarship. For the next three years, I drove my friends, family and classmates nuts by somehow steering every conversation to a discussion of “the law”—my new (and, as it turned out, lifelong) obsession. In my third year, I was named Editor in Chief of the Loyola Law Review and took great satisfaction in reviewing every word, comma and en dash in each published article. I graduated third in my class and received a clerkship with the esteemed Chief Justice Pascal F. Calogero of the Louisiana Supreme Court.. One year turned into two with the Chief (as we called him), and I left my position as Senior Law Clerk in 1998 to enter private practice in a New Orleans satellite office of a large Texas firm. This was my introduction to transactional law, and I loved it! I cut my teeth coordinating due diligence for mergers and acquisitions and worked my way up to drafting a myriad of organizational documents, contracts and bond documents.. In the spring of 2002, a classmate from Loyola Law School was named City Attorney for the City of New Orleans and recruited me to become the Senior Chief Deputy City Attorney in charge of the City’s transactional legal work. The following year, he was promoted to Chief Administrative Officer and I was promoted to City Attorney, where I supervised a staff of 96 employees, including 40+ attorneys. One of my proudest achievements was reducing the number of cases against the city from 5,800+ when I took office to about 1,500 just two years later. Then came Hurricane Katrina.. I wrote the first mandatory evacuation order in the history of the State of Louisiana, which remained in effect for more than twenty days after the levees broke, flooding more than 80% of the City of New Orleans. It was a time of great chaos. A week after Hurricane Katrina made landfall, I was named the liaison between the City and the federal support, where city, state and federal responders worked tirelessly to get the City on the long road to recovery. It was a very surreal, but inspiring, experience. I resigned as the City Attorney approximately sixty days after Hurricane Katrina when it became apparent that the Mayor, who appointed me, and I did not share a common vision for how to proceed with the recovery.. On January 2, 2006, I joined a small, but very well respected, boutique law firm in New Orleans that primarily represented real-estate developers engaged in the rehabilitation of historic properties.   Recognizing that New Orleans had one of the richest stocks of historic buildings in the United States, I viewed this as an excellent opportunity of continuing to participate in the recovery of New Orleans as a lawyer in the private sector.. Over the next eleven years, my practice focused, almost exclusively, on large-scale real estate transactions that utilized historic, new markets and/or renewable energy tax credits. During this period, I have represented investors, community development entities and lenders, but real-estate developers have always constituted the primary base of my clients. As any typical American, I do love the underdog! In my representations, I have drafted countless tax opinions, partnership agreements, loan documents, leases and other transactional documents, having the pleasure and honor to work with many of recognized leaders in the tax credit industry. I am fortunate to be able to do work that I truly love.. After years of representing entrepreneurs, the entrepreneurial spirit rubbed off on me, and I launched Schultz Law LLC on February 1, 2017. I’m excited to continue working with my existing clients and industry friends and look forward to picking up some new ones along this journey.

I worked as a music teacher for 13 years before returning to school to study Law.  I am a life long resident of the Greater New Orleans area.  I am willing to work with you to solve your problems with efficiency and respect. Call me today to get started on your case.

I pride myself on working quickly after accpeting a client's case.  Waiting to file a claim with a defendant or waiting to collect evidence can hurt someone's case.  That is why I begin the claims process the day a client retains me as their attorney.. I also pride myself on providing superior customer service with a personal touch.  I make free house calls to all my clients.  I hold regular status meetings with my clients to keep them up to date on their cases.  Also, all of my clients receive my direct phone number and email.  If a client calls me and I am unable to answer, I will return his/her call within 24 hours.. I am a native to southeast Louisiana.  I attended Louisiana schools throughout my education, and am proud to represent clients throughout South Louisiana.

I moved to the U.S. from Mexico City in 1998 as a dual citizen. However, I had to enter the U.S. as an F1 student in order to not lose my Mexican citizenship.  I completed a master's degree from Tulane University, of all things in Environmental law. But life had other plans for me.. My passion since 2002 has been immigration.  I have helped hundreds of clients navigate through what is complex and definitely not user-friendly law, both before USCIS and Immigration court.. Nothing makes me happier than to re-unite families through visa applications or keep them from being separated by aggressively defending them in Immigration court. My clients have 24/7 access to me and personal attention on their case. Emotional support during very stressful court proceedings is very important. And most importantly, honesty on that sometimes outcomes may be positive and negative, is our policy.. _______________________________________. Me mude a los Estados Unidos en 1998 con doble ciudadania. Sin embargo, tuve que entrar a los EU con visa de estudiante para no perder mi ciudadania mexicana. Complete una mestria, no cabe menos que en derecho ambiental. Pero mi vida tuvo otros planes.. My pasion desde el ano 2002 ha sido inmigracion. He ayudado a cientos de clientes navegar las leyes complejas de inmigracion tanto delante de USCIS y la corte de Inmigracion.. Nada me da mas alegria que el reunificar a familias por medio de visas o evitar la separacion por medio de la defensa agresiva en corte.  Mis clientes tienen acceso a nuestra oficina las 24/7 y una atencion personal en su caso.  Y lo mas importante es la honestidad que nuestra oficina practica sobre los resultados positivos y negativos que a veces pueden suceder.

I enjoy working personal injury cases and have years of experience working nearly 1000 cases, but I have also decided to branch out into estate planning now that I have my own firm. So often people are discouraged from writing wills and making estate plans because attorneys charge outrageous retainers that most people can't afford. I want to make estate planning available to everyone, which is why I offer flat rates to clients seeking simple estate plans. Everyone deserves the knowledge that upon death their possessions will be distributed as they wish. I strive to give that peace of mind to all clients, whether their estate is worth millions or mere pennies.. Personally, I enjoy cooking, travel, and my dogs. I grew up in Dallas, Texas and moved to Louisiana at 18 to attend LSU. After graduation I realized I loved the state too much to leave so I decided to stay for law school, the bar exam, and eventually set up my own practice in Metairie.

While at the Clinic, I received an award for my work in federal discrimination litigation. Before graduating Tulane, I worked for several prominent Louisiana appellate court judges in both New Orleans and Baton Rouge, until ultimately deciding to focus my efforts in private practice..
