Robert Edward Shive

This lawyer was recommended by another that doesn’t handle the type of situation I was in. Mr. Shive took the time to consult with me and gave his advice, including how to hire him should I decide that was my best course. Once I determined to do so, he told me how he expected to proceed and how much... the retainer would be. He was communicative, even texting if I didn’t respond by email. When it was over without need for court involvement, the remainder of the retainer was returned. I feel his dealings were forthright and fair. I would recommend him.

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!!

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.

He knew what all my case involved before hiring him. He didnt care about any of my evidence wouldn't hire experts that the judge said I needed. When I disagreed with him and said I wanted to go to fact finding hearing dropped me. Waste of time and money that we didnt have now without an attorney and ...money. Thanks for the amazing work
