About

Sher was born and raised in the Fresno County foothills near Auberry, California. She has spent the majority of her life recreating and working in the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains which ultimately cultivated her obsession with mountains and snow. 

In 2006, Sher obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Criminology with an emphasis in Law Enforcement from California State University, Fresno (CSUF) along with a certificate in Victim Services. While at CSUF, Sher also participated in the Fresno County Sheriff’s Reserve program, where she received her PC 832 certificate from the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training.  

Following college, Sher attended San Joaquin College of Law with the goal of earning her law degree and becoming a federal law enforcement agent. During law school, Sher worked as a Civil Law Clerk for the United States Attorney's Office. In 2009, Sher obtained her Juris Doctorate degree from San Joaquin College of Law in Clovis, California and was just one step away from basic training in Quantico, Virginia when she discovered she had passed the California Bar Examination and decided to pursue the practice of law. 

Sher practiced law in Newport Beach and Fresno, California where she worked as an Associate Trial Attorney for law firms including Russell & Lazarus and Cornwell & Sample. She has first and second chaired numerous trials to verdict and was selected as a Super Lawyers’ Rising Star and one of the National Trial Lawyers’ Top 40 Under 40. She has aggressively represented clients in personal injury, wrongful death, elder abuse, employment, insurance bad faith, trespass to timber, and federal tort claims, including appearing before the California Public Utilities Commission. 

Although Sher has been predominantly focused on regulatory compliance consulting the last several years, she has continued litigating a small number of personal injury, employment, tort, and medical malpractice cases as Of Counsel for an attorney in Fresno, California. Sher created High Sierra Law in order to continue handling select cases for friends and family living in the vicinity of the High Sierras. 

On a personal level, Sher is passionate about faith, family, freedom, and fitness. She thrives most when it is cold and snowy. In her free time, Sher enjoys snowboarding, cross country skiing, exercising, hiking, dirt biking, hunting, camping, exploring, and paddle boarding with her husband and two wild sons.
