Top Quality

I am so grateful that Sheila handled my case! She is so knowledgeable and compassionate, without any judgment for why she was hired. There were baseless accusations against me and she got the judge to see right through the other side’s lies through her dedication and research that proved my case. I w...ould recommend her to anyone who wants an attorney to treat them like a family member.

the best!!!!

Sheila is a lifesaver, I can't say enough good things. the minute I met with her I knew I was in good hands. she has this very easy way about her. she's confident and competent and humble at the same time. she was recommended to me by a friend who she represented on some crazy stuff--he had 4 cases o...pen, was scoring prison mandatory, had 2 violations of probation, and she somehow walked him out of court with no jail no prison nothing. I came to her when my case was already 2 years old and my other lawyer had done nothing. He said I had to take prison or go to trial and I didn't want to do either. Sheila came in, spent hours talking to me and my girl, talked to some people I know, and then she went to the state. I don't know what she did, or how she did it, but after 2 years of only PRISON OR TRIAL, suddenly I'm offered a withhold and 18 months probation? I don't know, she's magic. I scored 56 months. every day I get to spend with my kids I thank god for sheila.

amazing lawyer, like family

I hired sheila for a criminal case. I was charged with a first degree felony, a crime I am ashamed of that I committed at a low point in my life. I am not a criminal and I was so embarrassed by the whole thing. She never once made me feel judged. She took me in and made me feel safe and confident. Sh...e has a way with people. I don't know how to explain it, but as soon as I hired her I felt at ease. Its 15 months later and I have a clean record. A first degree felony to nothing. I still can't believe it. I don't know how to thank her, so I am writing this review in hopes that other people will find safety with her too. I was at a low point and now I get to start over without the shame following me. I highly recommend Sheila. I honestly thought she was too pretty to be a good lawyer, but I learned not judge a book by its cover. I hope I never need her again, but if I do, I'm glad to have her on my side. She's a friend for life.

highly recommend!

Sheila was there for me in my time of need. She counseled me through a very difficult and complex case and made sure I was updated throughout the process. Her communication is impeccable. It was a scary time but Sheila always made me feel comfortable. The best part? I WON!

She gave me my life back

After a nightmare that lasted a year, this woman gave me my life back. I had another lawyer who wasn’t doing anything for me while these accusations crippled my career. When I hired Sheila, she made me feel instantly like I was in good hands. She listened, she cared and she got the job done!! Everyth...ing got dismissed and I was able to start working again! I thought this one false accusation was the end of my life. She gave my life back to me. I would recommend her to anyone. And I have.
