Shirley Chim

Before speaking with Shirley, I was ready to settle for far less than what was fair. She immediately helped me see the bigger picture and set realistic, informed expectations. She carefully walked me through all the possible strategies, explaining the time, cost, and likely outcomes of each option. W...hat truly stood out was how she empowered me to make the final decisions while ensuring I was never doing so blindly. Her communication was always timely and thorough — I never felt left in the dark or like just another case. She was responsive, professional, and incredibly organized throughout the process. In court, her presence was commanding. It was clear the judges respected her and were familiar with her work. Thanks to her expertise, preparation, and advocacy, I achieved a far better outcome than I ever thought possible at the beginning of this journey. I highly recommend Shirley to anyone navigating divorce or custody matters. She’s smart, strategic, and truly cares about her clients.

I hired Shirley for my custody case. It was a very high conflict case with a difficult opposing party. We tried to negotiate multiple times and to come to an agreement to avoid court. Shirley was always willing to do things the way I wanted to, but also provided advice and direction based on her know...ledge of how the courts work and on her knowledge of my case specifics. She was very honest and never sugar coated anything but was realistic based on the facts that we had. She prepared me so well both mentally and in the trial prep. We ended up in court and she was wonderful during the trial, asking all of the right questions. Things change and come up instantly while in trial and she was so quick to pick up on my notes, and to include new things in her questions and closing argument. She was always very down to earth with me and understanding, which is so important in a case and in a time like this. This was a very difficult time in my life, and Shirley has really been wonderful, both in winning my case and in the direction she gave me. I really can't thank her enough.

Shirley helped me receive the best possible outcome for my case. She quickly determined what my needs were, and was aggressive fighting for me in court. I was so pleased with her genuine nature and treated my case with care. Hopefully I won't need legal help in the future, but if I do I will gladly h...ire her again!
