An Outstanding family attorney!!

Johanna Shields is as fine as an attorney that I have ever worked with. I have a very complex, contentious family case and Johanna has provided outstanding guidance all along. Johanna has done a remarkable job keeping my children as the center of the the case. It's all about the children's best i...nterest. She has helped educate me to become a better father throughout my ordeal. Johanna understands the emotional ramifications of all involved. Johanna is very patient and an excellent listener. She is extremely well versed in the law and has the ability to be empathetic with me as a client. Johanna always makes herself available and finds time to communicate through each issue. She uses tremendous judgment and studies the case extremely well. I recommend Johanna to handle any sort of family case. I could not be happier how she has guided my family through this trying time.

Excellent in all ways

Ms Shields has been very knowledgeable of the law but also very supportive of our family during a difficult time. She works well with the other attorneys involved which helps situations not escalate.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
