Kind and compassionate Attorney

I generally don’t take the time to write reviews but I feel it’s important to let the public know how incredibly satisfied I have been with Valerie and her staff. This has been a challenging year for my family. We suffered from the loss of a parent and placement of another into a nursing home. Valer...ie has been our attorney for quite some time and the planning that she had recommended a few years ago saved all of my parents assets. The movement of my mom into a nursing home has been seamless and far less troublesome than it would have been had we not created a trust over five years ago. I just want to say thank you for listening during the difficult times and lending not only a professional ear but a kind shoulder to cry on. I highly recommend Valerie Shivers.

Testimonial

As first time homebuyers, my husband and I did not know what to expect. We were nervous about the process as it was totally unfamiliar to us. Valerie Shivers guided us through the uncertainties and worked hard to ensure the deal went smoothly. Valerie successfully coordinated the numerous parties i...nvolved in order to streamline the transaction and get the deal done efficiently. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Valerie as she made everything extremely easy and convenient for us. Valerie was by our side during the entire process and available to answer any concerns or questions that arose along the way. It was stress free! Buying a house could not have been made any easier! We have recommended Valerie to all of our family and friends. She is a true professional!”

Professional and Compassionate

I can't thank Valerie enough for guiding me and my family through very important and sometimes difficult times. She helped us navigate through the process of getting my grandmother the best care when she became ill, and protecting her property and assets. She's also helped us prepare our own will a...nd guided us through the intimidating process of buying a home. Valerie and her team demonstrate the highest standard of professionalism and compassion and I have recommended her practice to family and friends.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
