Cheryl Panther is President of Panther Financial Divorce Solutions, LLC and has been providing services to clients and attorneys in family law matters since 2011.

Cheryl wanted to find ways to help clients and their attorneys understand tax and financial considerations before committing to a divorce settlement. Thus, the practice area of mediation and financial services for divorcing clients was born.
