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 Attorney

Sheena is a powerful attorney. She is efficient, easy to talk to, very understanding, quick responding and did an amazing job preparing me for court. I highly recommend hiring her as your attorney for family needs, she gets the job done and goes over and above!

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%.

Excellent Lawyer.

Attorney sheena burgess and her team helped me to close a child support case that was long over due. Started from New York and ended in Massachusetts. I live in Delaware and have no idea how Massachusetts state laws are. So I called the Miller Group in Massachusetts. And spoke to Sheena. She understo...od exactly what I needed done. We took it to the judge and my case is now closed. Thank you Sheena and the Miller Group team.

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.
