I have been practicing law in the Nashville area since 2004. While enrolled in law school, I worked as a law clerk for the Honorable James F. Russell of the Shelby County Circuit Court. I was Vice President of the Student Bar Association and Vice Magistrate of Phi Delta Phi Legal Fraternity at the University of Memphis. In 2004, I was awarded the Smith’s Distinguished Service Award and the CALI Award (highest grade) in Alternative Dispute Resolution/Mediation. I am a member of Phi Beta Kappa academic honor society. I have spoken at continuing legal education seminars discussing advanced issues in workers' compensation. One of my proudest achievements is being a founding board member of the non-profit corporation, Round Up for Nolensville, Inc., which assists those in need in the Nolensville area.

I have been practicing employment litigation defense (exclusively on the company/ management side) for 17 years now with the same firm (Constangy)- which seems crazy.  Over those many years, I’ve learned employment law creates a strange world, and partly because of that, I can’t imagine doing anything else.  I'm not one for touting all the credentials that almost every other employment-defense attorney out there probably also has, but I guess just for the record, I should verify that yes, yes, I’ve handled a zillion (give or take) employment litigation cases, including class/ collective actions, I’ve taken tons of depositions, have taken about 10 cases through trial, and have argued some on appeal, too.In terms of me, personally, I grew up in rural Arkansas, lived/ traveled in various spots in the U.S. during college/ law school, and finally settled in Nashville when I came to Constangy 17 years ago as a "baby attorney."  I am now married to a Missions Pastor and a mother of 3 -- two boys and a little girl we adopted from Ethiopia in 2011.  I am passionate about adoption and am always happy to talk to people who might be interested in going down this path!. I am also passionate about mentoring young attorneys/ professionals, and ensuring that (especially) women have a strong network.  I firmly believe there is such a thing as work-life balance!  But I also recognize part of my theories on that is that I work for such an amazing firm and with such amazing people.

I firmly believe in client service and partnering with businesses to add value.  I have extensive experience in representing health care professionals and entities on a wide variety of complex regulatory issues.  I have a strong interest in health care public policy and I have spoken at many seminars on health care reform proposals and the new PPACA legislation.  I am a Middle Tennessee native and life long resident.

I am a tax lawyer by training but I more enjoy working on business transactions--forming, buying, selling, merging companies.  Within the past 5 years, I have developed a lot of experience and knowledge in the alcohlic beverage industry.  While I mainly work on Tennessee matters, I am able to assist with federal alcoholic beverage issues.  If you have a business or anything to do with alcohol in Tennessee, I am your man.

For most of my twenty-year career, I’ve intuitively been practicing the art of story to help my clients reach their goals. It is within the past ten years or so that I began to focus on the science of how and why story works. I started this learning journey out of necessity so I could train the lawyers who work for me to do what I do and to replicate the successes I have had. Through teaching these skills, my own understanding of the science and power of story has grown exponentially.. What started out as something I was doing naturally — storytelling — has now become the cornerstone of Sherwood Boutique Litigation’s systematic processes in defending our clients. Knowing the facts of your case and the relevant law is the bare minimum for our team, and we’ll know them better than anyone else in that courtroom. More than that, my team and I know how to use those facts to tell a compelling story that can win in court. ~ Cynthia Sherwood. -----.

Equal Justice Under the Law. is not just a catch phrase at The Law Office of Kristin Fecteau, it is the heart of our beliefs and our representation philosophy. Competent representation in the face of legal adversity shouldn’t be available to only the privileged, wealthy, or powerful, especially if you have been victimized by unscrupulous corporate giants with no moral compass.
