Bio
Sherry A. Bishko is a partner in the law firm of Rosenthal & Markowitz, LLP and concentrates her practice primarily in matrimonial and family law, estate planning, estate settlement and real estate. Sherry is a trained mediator and collaborative law attorney. She is a long-time and passionate member of the Westchester Women’s Bar Association where she is currently president-elect, chairperson of the membership committee, co-chairperson of the mentorship committee and has served as recording secretary and vice president. Sherry is also a member of the Orange County Women’s Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association and the Westchester County Bar Association. Her road to becoming a practitioner in matrimonial and family law was a bit circuitous but inevitable, given her sustained community involvement and interest in and desire to help people.

Sherry graduated from Colgate University in 1990 and went straight to graduate school at Tufts University where she received an MA in Environmental Policy. Upon graduating from Tufts, she began working at the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Regional Office in New York City. Sherry worked in the Office of Policy and Management and was in charge of President Clinton’s Project XL initiative. Project XL is a program in which corporations and government agencies are given regulatory flexibility in exchange for achieving better “bottom-line” environmental results. Her experience with Project XL required a working knowledge of federal environmental statutes and regulations and prompted an interest in law school.
Bio 2
Sherry began her second career as a lawyer in 2000 when she entered Pace University Law School. She graduated Cum Laude with a Certificate in Environmental Law from Pace in 2003. After graduation, she practiced corporate law in Rye, NY and founded a citizen’s action group in her then hometown of Sleepy Hollow, NY to monitor the re-development of the General Motor’s site located on the Hudson River.

Sherry is actively involved in the Westchester Women’s Bar Association and co-founded and launched the successful WWBA “Mentorship Program” which pairs young lawyers and law students with seasoned lawyers throughout Westchester County. She also has assisted Legal Services of the Hudson Valley in efforts to train staff on uncontested divorce preparation.

Sherry resides in the Village of Tuxedo Park, New York in Orange County, and has served as a member of the Village’s Planning Board. Her family is a “founding family” having resided in the Village since the late 1800s and she is passionate about the history, residents and natural beauty of Tuxedo Park.
