Knowledgable attorney with a solid support team...

Sheila handled my divorce case with tact and professionalism. Melissa kept me informed at every point in the process. Sheila's familiarity with the opposing attorney made me particularly comfortable. I am very pleased with the outcome and will use Sheila for future legal needs.

The best!

Sheila and her team at the office made me feel comfortable and at ease every time I spoke with them and every time I met with Sheila. She's very knowledgable and always up to date on changes in the system. (Things I wasn't even aware of) I felt at ease walking into court and walking out. I have recom...mended Sheila to many people and I will continue too! She is the best! I've seen her 3 times now for different things regarding my son over the years and every time I walk into that office we pick up right where we left off. I don't feel like I'm just another case that she's doing and had forgotten about over the years- I feel like she really cared and she does. (Melissa- her paralegal is such a nice and wonderful person as well- always very sweet!) I'll always use Sheila as my family lawyer as long as she's doing it.

Will bring you down an expensive path and get you nothing

Sheila seems very knowledgeable and her office is very responsive but the bills add up and little is done to get you what she claims will be the outcome. Promises of the father paying lawyer fees have left me with tens of thousands of dollars in bills owed to her. Her attempts and claims were half ...witted and even would mix up the names in our case in front of the judge.
