Biography
As an experienced family law attorney, my mission is to provide committed and compassionate client-centered representation that is tailored to the unique needs of each client and the specific dynamics of his or her case. I am dedicated to personally handling all aspects of my clients’ cases. No one is passed off to an associate or paralegal. I recognize that the people seeking my services often are in difficult and confusing personal situations, so I treat each of my clients with the respect and understanding he or she deserves.

Wonderful Caring Attorney
I would not hesitate for a minute to recommend Christy, my case was complex and took nearly two years from start to finish. Christy took the time to explain everything to me. Anytime I needed any question answered she always promptly responded. Thanks to Christy I have been able to keep my family sa...

Recommend without a Doubt!
I hired Christy to represent me in my divorce. I live out of state and did not have any idea on who to work with.

Did not fight for me
She told me several times I simply needed to accept what was happening because there was not anything she could do about it. Very disappointed in the lack of effort put towards representing me.

Replied last May 31, 2018As an anonymous post, I'm afraid that I cannot address your allegations with any specificity if you were a client of mine. I can only say that this is not a report I am used to hearing, as I make it my primary goal to fight for the best possible results for my clients. I cannot think of a time I told a client there was nothing I could do. There is always something to do. It may not always be successful, but action can be taken. Significantly, in reviewing my recent court hearing and mediation history and results, I cannot even guess who you may be. If you would like to contact me directly to discuss your concerns, I would be happy to do so. Unfortunately, sometimes the circumstances of a client's situation along with legal realities can limit positive outcomes. If that was true in your case, I'm sorry. That said, I will continue my efforts to fight for the best interests of my clients and their children.

Dedicated and kind
I have been messaging Christy Shircliff for a while now and she gives me the answers I need in my case. I will be hiring her for my divorce and custody case because this level of dedication is something that is rare in attorneys I have talked to. She was up in the middle of the night answering any q...
