Amazing
Attorney Wolf was the BEST attorney I have ever worked with. She made me feel protected and confident throughout this whole process. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to use her knowledge to win. She always gave %110. I am MORE than satisfied with how she handled my case as well as the outcome. I would absolutely recommend this firm and attorney Wolf to anyone seeking fierce representation.

Awesome Job
During a really tough time Wolf & Shore, LLC helped me so much. Dealing with an estate is too overwhelming so having them take over was the best decision I ever made. I will use them again in the future if I ever need to! I hope that others will use them for any probate matters.

A Great Attorney
Attorney Wolf was very knowledgable in regards to my legal matter. She was very friendly and easy to talk to. If I ever have any legal matters in the future I would definitely return to Attorney Wolf. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal counseling.

Kristen of Wolf & Shore, LLC - Trustworthy & Skilled
Attorney Wolf lent her expertise to help draft and set up a fairly complex escrow agreement to satisfy a real estate contract. Extremely impressed with the lengths she was willing to go including setting up and attending a meeting with the bank manager to make sure my transaction would be handled properly. Wolf & Shore, LLC is the only law firm I'd trust to handle all of my legal affairs.

Highly Recommended

Sent confidential documents in unsecured containers.
After committing to file litigation, unexpectedly filed a motion to withdraw from the case leaving clients without legal representation. Sent client confidential documents in unsecured boxes allowing unauthorized persons to view contents. Would not recommend Wolf & Shore, LLC.
