Recommend Fully

I recommend this practice fully with no reservations! Sheena Burgess represented me in my divorce at the last minute, after my previous attorney left me with no representation. Sheena skillfully negotiated, with intelligence and compassion, to get to a quick resolution. She took her time to explain f...ully in a way that I could understand whenever I had questions. She made herself available when needed, even when not previously scheduled. Jenna was responsive, understanding, and helpful during emergency circumstances when Sheena was occupied with previously scheduled responsibilities. I'm so glad to have had Sheena & Jenna as my team, and I can't recommend them enough!

Excellent

I was represented by Sheena throughout my entire divorce process. During that time she was very patient, attentive, and helpful. I was dealing with a very tough situation, which she helped guide me through with passion and integrity. I would highly recommend hiring her!

Wasn’t impressed

She really did the bare minimum and couldn’t be bothered to address my concerns about my divorce and after. Id email the same things over and over and she seemed to just want to get paid and didn’t care about my issues. I chose to hire someone else to finish up and got it done in a fraction of the ti...me.

Very satisfied with the service

Sheena represented me for my divorce and custody of my children. She was very friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. She helped me to gain custody of my children as part of the divorce agreement. I would recommend to others 100%.

Outstanding effort from a team that really cares

My only regret is not having hired this team before. I went through a very difficult divorce 15 years ago. Too often the court system does not take the father’s side. Because of my experience I had allowed many things to happen because I felt but I just couldn’t win. From the initial consultation thr...oughout the entire process I felt for the first time that my voice was being heard.
