Great lawyer

I appreciated all his help. He walked me through the whole process and explained everything to me in a way I could understand. I definitely got my money's worth. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone I know.

Experienced, Caring, and Intelligent

Dennis Shimmell is knowledgeable and fights for his clients with a fierce passion. He offers great advice and is respectful without being fake. He helped me regain custody of my children and increase received child support. I will say that oftentimes judge’s dockets are busy and because of mandatory ...legal wait times, your case can’t be resolved right away. However, Attorney Shimmell will continue to work on your case and push to get it resolved in a timely manner. He is professional and abides by the legal ethical codes and therefore will not advise the opposing party. In my experience he does work with the opposing counsel well to help reach a fair resolution, if possible. I will always go back to Shimmell Law Offices for any of my legal needs.

We would hire Dennis again

Dennis was excellent throughout the entire process, from initial consultation to final outcome. He always had time for our questions and concerns and he was flexible in his approach. The best compliment I can give him is that if we ever need a lawyer again we will be contacting him first.
