Posted by Patrick | December 26, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Couldn't have done this alone!

After all of the divorce dust has settled, I can't imagine having gone through this process without Sheila Romell. She provided me with excellent guidance and representation, and was always there to be my voice of reason amidst all of the emotions that often times occur during the divorce process. I ...am 100% certain that I faired better in this process having hired Sheila to represent me! The property division laws in Wisconsin can be unfair compared to some "at fault" states, in my opinion, and I truly believe Sheila protected me and my assets from an unfair or disproportionate division. Some attorneys will stir the pot, or willingly fight over things, it seems. Not Sheila! On countless occasions, she reminded me that the "things" I wanted weren't always worth the cost of going after them, which I appreciated. Her goal always seemed to be the protection of my best interests, vs unnecessarily bantering with the opposing counsel in order to drive up a bill. That isn't to say that Sheila isn't a well respected attorney, or a fighter, if need be! She seemed to be very well known, and carried herself incredibly well. Going into my "surprise" divorce, I was wondering how I could afford the legal fees, and whether I would come out in one piece. After the dust has settled, I now know that I couldn't afford NOT to hire Sheila, and am incredibly happy that I did! I have nothing but good things to say about my representation by Sheila Romell. You hire an attorney for protection, amongst other things. I felt like a lamb going against a wolf in my divorce. Sheila was my protective lion, though, and I will recommend her at every opportunity! A truly wonderful attorney!!! Thank you so much, Sheila!

Great Attorney

I had no idea what to expect out of the legal process regarding custody and placement. Sheila explained everything in detail and always took all my calls/questions quickly. Her assistants were always very professional and courteous. She is very meticulous in her work and always kept me up to date ...on what was going on. I had heard horror stories on attorneys wasting your time to get more money, but she was opposite. Detailed, thorough and to the point. She has a wonderful reputation and there is a reason for that. The only thing I would have changed was my constant calling her to verify this or that was done. She assured me multiple times of the steps/process. I would not hesitate to call her for anything in the future regarding this. She also sends copies of any correspondence so you have documentation. I have referred her to multiple people and will continue to do so.

Awesome Family Law Attorney!

I have worked with Sheila several times over the past 10 years and I am completely satisfied with her professionalism and efficiently. Due to my son’s father, my court case seems never ending, he fight’s me every step of the way for every little thing. I can honestly say that Sheila has made that a l...ot easier for me to have to deal with. I had previously hired a different attorney from a big law firm and after going through thousands and thousands of dollars and getting nowhere, I made the decision to switch and go with Sheila. I wish I had done my research from the very beginning; I could have saved myself a lot of money not to mention aggravation! Shelia is the best; she is professional, efficient and pleasant to deal with. I have noticed over the course of my case that other attorneys, judges, court commissioners etc. have a lot of respect for her and she is very well liked. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know or encounter needing an attorney who deals with Family law.
