She Fought for Our Fresh Start

I am incredibly grateful to Sheena Burgess for everything she did for me and my family throughout one of the most stressful and emotional experiences of my life. My case involved a relocation request to move from Massachusetts to Virginia with my children, and there was so much uncertainty surroun...ding the process. Sheena fought for me every step of the way. She was knowledgeable, prepared, honest, responsive, and truly listened to what I was trying to accomplish for my family. What meant the most to me was that I never felt like just another case. Sheena understood how important this relocation was for my children and our future, and she worked incredibly hard to present our situation in the strongest way possible. She helped me navigate the process when I was overwhelmed and gave me confidence during some very difficult moments. In the end, my relocation request was approved, and I was able to move from Massachusetts to Virginia with my children. After everything it took to get to that point, I honestly cannot put into words what that outcome meant to me and my family. Now that my case has finally come to a close, I can look back and know that choosing Sheena to represent me was one of the best decisions I made. I will always be grateful for the dedication, support, and advocacy she gave me during such an important chapter of our lives. If you are looking for a family law attorney who will genuinely advocate for you and your family, I cannot recommend Sheena Burgess enough. She fought for us, believed in our case, and helped us get the fresh start we desperately needed. I will forever be thankful for that.

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!

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.
