Highly Recommended

In the past year, I have recommended Shayla Blankenship to many other people. I went to Shayla when I felt no one was going to be able to help me in my divorce case. She made me regain some hope and I never lost faith after gaining her help and support. I felt as if I was always a priority and was... extremely well informed every step of the way. Her knowledge was invaluable. If I needed to contact her, I received a rapid response. Whatever the outcome, I knew Shayla and Erin gave me their best. I will continue to use their services with confidence.

My disabled fathers divorce

My father was disabled from a stroke 2 yrs ago. He had remarried in his 60's after being widowed. His wife of 7 yrs decided she didn't want the bother of having a husband to care for and dropped him at our doors. Shayla had us bring him in and was wonderful with the situation of interviewing h...im. He has speech aphasia and can't talk or respond consistantly. Being a very emotional time for him and us (my sis and I) she walked us through all the info. and always had time for our questions and re-explaining things to us. The process went very smoothly for us and her knowledge and compassion will always be treasured by us. We would recommend her to anyone!

Client Review

I would use extreme caution with retaining her for counsel. Of course during the consult she came across very articulate and passionate, however once I retained her, I found her work less than acceptable and her fees doubled in comparison to what she initially quoted me. Her communication skills we...re poor and I constantly had to go over things that I previously discussed with her. I found her to be very unprofessional and a waste of money. A total bust.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"It is my opinion that Attorney Blankenship is one of most knowledgable attorneys in the area family law in Genesee County, but many attorneys are knowledgeable. I also believe that her professionalism is of the highest caliber, but that too is easy to find in an attorney. The thing that sets Attorney Blankenship apart is that she cares for her clients and their best interest and that is rare in an area of law that where by the time your proficient you are "burned out". I endorse Attorney Blankenship."
