Jay P. Sheryll, Esq.
Attorney and Owner of Sheryll Law
As a husband and father of two daughters, Jay Sheryll understands the importance of family relationships and legacy. When he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Juris Doctor degree from Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center, he knew he wanted to start his own practice and devote it to estate planning because, in his words, “having a family is all we leave behind.” He established Sheryll Law, P.C. in Riverhead, New York, in 2017, where he and his staff cater to clients’ estate planning needs on the East End of Long Island.

Although Courtney accrued valuable experience as an intern for Live Nation Entertainment, followed by over two years as an intern and customer service representative for Sea Tow Services, International, her role at Sheryll Law, P.C. provided her first exposure to estate planning. For Courtney, a typical day at the office involves managing the engagement process with clients from the moment they contact Sheryll Law, P.C. to ensure their complete satisfaction throughout the process once they retain the firm’s estate planning services. She also generates ideas for relevant and educational content for social media, emails, and webinars, manages local outreach efforts and strategizes with Jay and the team to develop and implement effective plans to assist even more clients in 2021 and beyond.
“I like learning about estate planning law because, as a young person who didn’t know anything about it and thought it did not concern me, it’s preparing me for important things I must be aware of moving forward. Helping our clients with their estate planning goals also helps me in my personal life. Since I had a minor in law, my work at Sheryll Law, P.C. provides real-world experience about how everything works. And I enjoy assisting clients in their efforts to protect their legacy and their families’ best interests.”
In her free time, Courtney enjoys listening to country music, going to concerts, keeping up with the latest trends in pop culture, fashion, and entertainment, dining at new restaurants, and visiting the North Fork on the weekends. A lover of travel, she plans to visit Switzerland and Norway in the not-too-distant future.
