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.

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!
