An excellent, efficient, friendly and reliable attorney.

Shea was an excellent attorney during my divorce. She was respectful of my position and worked with me and my ex-husbands lawyer with diligence to resolve the case quickly. I was very pleased with her quick response time and attention to detail. Shea also kept me up to date on the status of the case ...and had a wealth of knowledge with regard to family law. I would recommend Shea with confidence to anyone seeking a lawyer.

Very Pleased--Would Highly Recommend

Shea was incredible. She offered expertise in the law as well as in real estate. Her real estate expertise was an added value in my divorce case. Shea took the time to get to know my personality as well as my expectations and personal concerns. Shea's service was great; she made me feel as if I wa...s her only case. Shea is extremely wise in her tactics and approach to negotiation. This skill was pivotal in my divorce case. Because of her wisdom and dilligence, I walked away with the best case scenario in my divorce. I would definitely feel confident putting a friend in Shea's hands if they were to face the difficulty and unfortunate situation of a divorce.

Individual

Attorney Roberts is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I was well informed about options and strategy in my case. This legal issue which seemed to completely overwhelm me prior to hiring her firm, became a minor issue. I felt that I was in extremely competent and caring hands. They defende...d my rights, strategically and aggressively. They negotiated a settlement agreement that was very satisfactory. Without reservation, I would hire Attorney Roberts and her firm again to represent me again in land use/zoning matters.

Attorney Recommendation

I was referred to Shea Roberts by a friend who spoke highly of her. I was never dissapointed with Shea! She was extremely responsive to phone calls, emails and left me feeling confident that the job I paid my hard earned dollars for was being done. I never had to worry that I would'nt hear from he...r or that she was not working hard for me. I am grateful to have chosen Shea and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.

The best person at the worst time

Shea Roberts is an excellent attorney--knowledgeable, practical, sensitive to her clients, firm with opposing counsel. Shea manages to strike the perfect balance between leading and following, advising while staying ever attuned to her client's wishes. Shea's fees are reasonable and she doesn't churn... them; I never regretted a single dollar I paid for her services.
