Complicated cases

I have retained Diane Shields for two very difficult cases. One about 13 years ago for my daughter. Atty. Shields worked very hard on her case, and most importantly she won the case. I seeked her help again recently for myself, remembering her outstanding knowledge of the law and finding solutions ...for complex real estate tenant/landlord case. Diane Shields, is prompt, she listens to her clients attentively, she processes oral information in a correct matter. She speaks the truth, and charges accordingly. She is worth her rates and then some. She took a case that many lawyers refused to take. She has many qualities that make her a great attorney. She takes her time, and gives it her all. I presented my case to many attorneys before going to Ms. Shields and will highly recommend her if you are looking for an attorney that is honest, caring, and takes her job very seriously. She will answer your questions, she writes very well, and is not afraid to fight for your rights. Sincerely,

A great lawyer

I met Diane while helping a friend find legal representation in an emergency situation. While I was not the client, I was closely involved throughout and was impressed with her abilities. She is smart, knowledgeable, realistic, efficient, and caring. She is highly qualified, and was thoughtful in... her approach, resulting in an efficient use of resources. She quickly responded to calls and emails and was straightforward in discussing the chances of the case. I highly recommend Diane.
