Shirley Chim

It has been 4 years fighting for the custody of my children and the child support that I am due.  It has been a long slog and it seems at times no one seemed to be interested or cared about my situation. Everytime I hoped my ex would stop, he would come back to court with something new. I count mys...elf fortunate to have had Shirley by my side throughout this process .   She has been steadfast in her unwavering belief in me.  Her professionalism, competence, and forward and out of the box thinking helped me obtain my goal of raising my kids. In times when I needed advice, a sounding board, an honest opinion or legal strategy, she would be there to provide it. But the one thing I am most grateful for Shirley is her humanism, her humanity.  These legal battles were severely depressing and I always felt like I had a family member Shirley fighting along side me, for me.  I know that she looks after my needs and my family’s best interests based on the things that she brings up in court, ideas of how I can handle my ex, and the language she inserts in legal documents.

My friend recommended Ms. Shirley Chim as my divorce lawyer. She is very professional and caring at the same time. I wish I could retain her sooner. My divorce case is kind messy but Shirley keep my head clear and gave me very good advice and very fast response to my phone calls and emails. She negot...iated the maximum benefits for me and my daughter. I know divorce can be hard and messy specially when children are involved but I would highly recommend Ms. Chim not just because she is a great attorney but also an amazing person.

Shirley helped navigate me through a complex interstate child support case that was eventually settled in one state over a 2-year period. She was available quickly when I needed to talk and responsive via email as well. Shirley worked closely with DCSE to get the numbers correct and made it possibl...e for me to never even have to appear in court. She explained everything clearly along the way. Don’t hesitate to hire her for help with any family law matter!

I hired Shirley for a custody and support battle from out of state. She is not only responsive after hours, but she showed up for the hearings in Virginia so that I was able to save my time and resources. After discussing my case with her, she was very forthcoming about my case and focused on the w...eaknesses of my ex-spouse’s position to bring about the custody arrangement I wanted. Shirley also lowered my child support more than I expected. Thanks, Shirley!
