Simply the best

My review of this attorney is even better than excellent. Her and her staff are astonishing. I was going though a custody issue that was unimaginable. I witnessed her in a court room and wished I had hired her for my case. Stood about 5'2" and was extremely cordial until she was in front of the judge... representing her client. "Wow"! I found her to be extremely knowledgeable and assertive. I hired her! She and her staff helped me through a lot. They spent an abundance of time helping me and were extremely compassionate. If you hire this attorney, as you should, you will feel as though you've done the best you can because you have hired the best.

"Don't be fooled by her radiant exterior. Shari is a pitbull on the inside with nerves of steel. Once she latches on, she will fight for you 'til the end. She is an exceptionally intelligent, gifted, and caring person. She had excellent organizational skills, a natural multi-tasker. Her written and spoken arguments are second to none. If you get into trouble with the "Law" in Montana, you want her on your side."

"I endorse this lawyer. I met Shari this summer at The Trial Lawyers College that was founded by Gerry Spence. I found Shari's work ethic and his compassion to his clients are amazing . The trial skills that John developed at the college will serve any of his clients well. Any lawyer that is willing to spend three weeks working on their trial skills is worth consulting about their legal problem."
