"I have had the privilege of working with Sheila for over 8 years, first as a client and now as a co-worker. In handling my own family law case, Sheila was professional and diligent in making sure my rights, and my children's best interests were protected. She is a strong advocate for her clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Sheila for over five years. She works very hard for her clients, keeps them informed of what is going on in their cases, and is a great advocate."
"Sheila Passenant is a highly experienced attorney. She is a proficient negotiator and mediator and does her best to settle her client's cases quickly and fairly. When settlement is not possible, Sheila is an excellent litigator with over 20 years of courtroom experience. I would recommend her to anyone looking to hire a family law attorney in Mecklenburg or Union County."
"Sheila Passenant is an exceptional attorney. Her knowledge and experience with family law is astounding."
