Sheila G. Passenant

Nope. Bait and switch. Not knowledgeable about the law or tax situations. Made offers to the other attorney that I had already explained were unacceptable. Made additions to the custody agreement re: therapy that were not in line with therapists recommendations. So, no therapy available for my child...ren.

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

I was shocked and did not know where to turn when my Divorce began. The Passenant & Shearin Law firm was recommended by a friend and I am so thankful. They addressed my case swiftly and walked me through the process that is very confusing to a layperson. My concerns around false allegations, custo...dy, and property (among many others) were all handled aggressively, professionally, and with my rights being protected. I have had the opportunity to work with several members of the firm because they work as a "team". I am especially thankful to Shelia Passenant for my initial consultation and hearing along with Brione Pattison who has walked me through the often difficult process of Divorce with custody issues. I would highly recommend Passenant and Shearin Law to anyone who wants strong, honest, and hard working Attorneys fighting for your rights.

The team at Passenant & Shearin Law did a good job. I had a very complex case financially. Kristen did a good job of valuing the assets and explained how everything was treated under the law. Sheila helped me weigh the pros and cons of my settlement agreement. Without her help, I think I would have w...ound up in court for years. Instead I have a fair settlement, visitation with my kids and it's done.

I have recommend Passenant & Shearin Law to all of my friends & family as I am that impressed & satisfied. I would recommend them to anyone needing help in any Family Law case issue. All of the attorney’s there are very friendly & professional. They take the time to learn about you & your special cas...e. They stay on top of everything & always respond in such a timely manner. They are the best thing to have happened to me & my children. They have worked with me every step of the way & I have felt completely satisfied & relaxed. They helped take all of the extra stress away & put it in their own hands to handle for me. Not only is this firm highly experienced with Family Law, they also took the time to recommend therapists & other places me & my children could go to help with my divorce process. My family & I are very grateful we found them.  - Brittney
