Robert Edward Shive

We hired Rob Shive who came at a high cost. Every penny we’ve spent was well worth it! Rob entered into our CPS case when they were trying to steal our little boys. They almost achieved it until Rob stepped in. This man is a BEAST in the courtroom, trust me. I guess it takes a beast like him (Shive)... to fight a beast like them (CPS). He did it, hooray!! Our family is back together again. I’m NOT going out on a limb here, Rob Shive is the best attorney in Indianapolis to go to war with CPS. HIRE HIM! You won’t regret it!!

Mr. Shive assisted me in saving my grandchild. My grandson had been in 4 foster homes. Although he did have family that could take him, the State had no desire to do any work to do what was best for the child. Mr. Shive came up with the best possible legal plan to get my grandson out of foster car...e in Indiana and into my home in Florida. He continued to represent me until the adoption was final. Mr. Shive will never know the tremendous impact he had on my grandson's life, as well as my own. I cannot thank him and his assistant, Debbie, enough for all they did for us.

Robert Shive is WONDERFUL! DCS was trying to classify my child as a CHINS, a child in need of their services. They traumatized my child over 4 months in foster care; even though he has 3 grown full blooded siblings that could have kept him, and also 2 grandmothers! I'm so thankful I found this... wonderful, intelligent man to help me get through this. He got my son out of there as quick as he possibly could, and also confronted DCS on their incompetence and lies. He's THE best attorney. I was very hard to deal with. I'd never been away from my child, I was crying all the time and having severe separation anxiety and scared to death of what might be happening to him. Mr. Shive was still very patient, understanding, and kind to me. And answered all my emails, and kept me informed. If I didn't understand, he helped me to understand. Never trust a public defender when it comes to your child. I'm not knocking them either. They are just so bogged down... If DCS takes your child- get an attorney ASAP! And preferably Mr. Shive if he's available. He will positively make sure these people don't walk all over you! Even if you have to take out a loan or sell your belongings. Money is everywhere, but your child is IRREPLACEABLE! DCS is a malicious entity and they target poverty level single mothers. They will keep your child as long as they can, tell lies, keep you going to numerous waste of time court dates as long as they can, stall you with "courses" or "classes" and tell you if you take them, or do this or that, well now, THEN we'll give you your child back. Don't believe them! Once they've had your child in their custody for 15 months, your child WILL be adopted and lost forever! It's that serious! I recommend the book "Legally Kidnapped" which was written by a former DCS/ CPS worker. And I HIGHLY recommend Robert Shive! He really KNOWS what he's doing and I'm so grateful to have had him on my side. I'm so hoping this review will lead someone else that was in my same position to this awesome attorney that WILL do his BEST to get you your child back. Just TRUST him and be honest with him, and it will all work out. The bad news is: if you don't have an attorney, you won't be getting your child/children back. Too many federal incentives for them to be giving up their victims- the children.
