Represents a sociopath

Apparently I met her on the wrong side she choose to represent a sociopath so now I will expose exactly who she represented! Maybe lawyers should sometime think about all the harm they're doing children before they think about that dollar because I've never met a lawyer who didn't give a f*** about t...hat dollar MORE THAN DOING THE RIGHT THING and I don't like them kind of people.... BUT IMA HIRE A TEAM FOR THIS LADY LOL

Best child custody attorney

Shawnee helped us natigate a very stressful child custody situation with professional grace and she is an amazing advocate. Shawnee is prompt with her responses both by email, telephone and in person. I have worked with other attorneys where I feel that the situation went on and on and so did the cos...t. Shawnee provides a detailed, fair account of the billing. I’m happy to say that when this all started my stress was through the roof, two months later our agreement is in place and all parties are happy with the results, more importantly the child’s best interest was alway Shawnee’s focus and she helped explain the laws and devised a legal strategy to best meet our needs.

Excellent Representation

Ms. Soto-Ortiz walked me through the biggest fear of my divorce --- a custody battle. With her by my side, I felt confident to make decisions and take action on behalf of my son. I am extremely grateful I had her professional knowledge on my side. I highly recommend Ms. Soto-Ortiz to anyone who ne...eds a custody lawyer.

She made sure I got the results I wanted

Attorney Soto-Ortiz handled my divorce and custody cases. She fought hard for me to gain the amount of custody I wanted and needed for my kids well being. She always responded quickly to my calls or emails and I felt that I was kept well informed of everything that was going on with my case. I wou...ld highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, down to earth attorney.
