The Best Divorce Lawyer!!

My experience with Attorney Scheff was great!! I was very satisfied with her as my divorce lawyer. I would recommend her to every one who is looking for a good divorce attorney. She is very knowledgeable. I could easily tell she was an experienced lawyer. Attorney Scheff talked me through the ent...ire process. She listens, she advises, and she keeps you informed and updated with every step. She was fair. She understood the difficulty and helped me a whole lot. Attorney Scheff was and is always available and we maintained good communications at all times. I never felt like I was in the dark. She would explain to me over and over until I understood what was going on. She was thorough with paperwork. It was just great!! I cannot say enough good things about Mrs. Scheff. I am glad I had her as my divorce lawyer during a very challenging time.

Super Lawyer

Eileen Scheff represented me during my divorce. SHE IS EXCELLENT!!! Has solid experience in family law. Highly knowledgeable, very firm, compassionate, very responsive and keeps plaintiff and defender on course by giving only what is entitled. I strongly recommend that if you need someone frank an...d straight forward "a straight shooter" she is your attorney.

Eileen is Very Professional and Follows Through for Her Clients

Eileen was recommended to me by a friend of mine who is an attorney. The first time I contacted Eileen, she immediately texted me back stating "she was in court and would call me once she was out of court", which I must say she did. Needless to say, I was very impressed with her promptness and the ...fact that "she carried through with what she said she was going to do"! Eileen always kept me well informed, always forwarded copies of correspondence and appropriate information for me to keep for my own files. What a blessing it was to have an attorney who cared about doing the right thing for her client. She is very gifted and intelligent. Her honesty and professionalism was fantastic. I guarantee that you will be pleased with Eileen as your legal counsel in your family law situation.

Grandparent

Eileen is the best! She has gone out of her way for my grandson and my sons case. Prior to taking my case, Eileen spent hours talking to me, she even took the time to go over all my evidence and she went as far as contacting people regarding my sons case. After retaining her months later, she has ...been awesome. She is very intelligent and knows the laws, inside and out. She is on top of her game, a Lil firecracker! She's always kept us informed of everything, and has told us what to do and not to do. Eileen is a blessing and I would recommend her to anyone, and everyone. I truly believe, she loves her job and has proven to me she knows her job very well, which makes her the very best. If you need a excellent lawyer don't hesitate.....Eileen Scheff is the very BEST their is!! Guaranteed you will be pleased and very thankful of her expertise!! She rock's!!

An awesome lawyer

Eileen represented me in a Family Law case and I must say she blew me away. She is so well prepared, knowledgeable and responsive. Regardless of how many questions I asked, she answered them honestly and never got irritated. She is realistic with her clients' outcomes and doesn't sell you a dream. Sh...e knows the climate of the courts and the judges and can advise based on that knowledge. When we were preparing for court she explained everything to me and how she was going to proceed. She followed through on everything that she said she would do, and did so with the utmost poise and professionalism. I could go on and on, but let me just say that you won't be disappointed if you hire Eileen. She really knows her stuff!
