Sheila G. Passenant

I was in a pretty sticky situation with my children's other parent and Ms. Passenant and her firm were amazing the whole way through. Given the circumstances leading up to hiring them, we got the best outcome we could've hoped for and they set me up for amazing success with my children and my hopes f...or maintain custody. They also were great with communication and advising against listening to my own biases. I am eternally grateful, and indebted, to Ms. Passenant and her firm for all the long hours and hard work they did to help me find success in what felt like a hopeless situation.

You can't please everyone! I am very happy I disregard the reviews and consulted/hired Sheila Passenant. I was extremely pleased with how well she settled my difficult and challenging divorce. I found Sheila to be charming, very personable and always accessible. Of course, she is a busy attorney but... she always returned my emails and calls. Thank you for a job well done and for making me listen to your advice. I got more than I asked for....

I would highly recommend Sheila and Ali in Divorce and Custody suits. Both always had my best interest as the focus of the case and were most professional and ethical throughout the entire process. They were extremely organized and up to date on current laws and never once did I hesitate on their rec...ommendations for me and my children. Having Sheila and Ali representing me was the best decision I made during this difficult time in my life.

My wife and I used Sheila and the firm, Passenant & Shearin Law, to close a long overdue open chapter of life. Obtaining the custody of our 2 children. This matter was going on for years w/o the help of a previous attorney. Once we obtain this firm, we were able to move forward and obtain results tha...t were in the best interest of our children. The children love their new arrangements and everyone is happy. Thank you so much Sheila and firm!!

In a recent child custody action I had to assist my step daughter in hiring an attorney because the Father of their two children mistakenly believed he and his mother could take the children and limit her access to them by alleging mental health and child abuse issues. We hired the Law Offices of P...assenant and Shearin Law after several consultations with at least three other firms . Ali Miller and Sheila Passenant listened carefully to the case status and quickly developed a plan of action within the scope we requested. Both attorneys attended the TPA hearing we had scheduled on short notice, as much of our pre hearing time and funding was taken up by other firms who wanted to expand the scope of our case beyond our means. The fact that both attorneys attended the hearing was a plus as opposing counsel was clearly flustered by the well prepared and well planned action of Ali and Shelia, who clearly demonstrated a superior knowledge of the Mecklenburg County Court system and their experience and knowledge of local Judges and recent rulings. Opposing counsel, although an experienced attorney, was handing the Judge pictures and other documents that almost looked like scrap paper compared to the binders and well organized documentation supplied by Passenant and Shearin Law. The end result was a Court Order that caused the Defendant / Father to turn the children over to my daughter the following Sunday on a week on and week off basis as she had requested from the Court. I have no reservation recommending this law firm and cannot thank Ali and Sheila enough for their excellent case work and support during this stressful period. “ I can also say that The McDowell Family Law Center also highly recommended Shelia Passenant during our search for counsel, which is how we found the firm. Exact words ” There is no better attorney in Mecklenburg County for your custody situation than Shelia Passenant. “ Curtis H., Charlotte North Carolina
