This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Strong work ethic, knowledgeable, and responsive.

When I sought out a criminal defense attorney, I knew in my own mind what was needed. I did not know Sheena at the time, but tried to do some research. The original charges that were brought against our family member, in the end, were dismissed. If any of these things are important to you, I strong...ly recommend you work with Sheena: Someone who is professional, knows the law, listens to you, shares their honest opinion, but still shows empathy for the situation you are in, is a straight shooter, cares not just about winning, but actually cares about you as a person, is highly responsive when you have questions or needs and just basically works hard for you. I am very thankful that she agreed to represent us. If we ever have another legal issue, she’s the first person we will call.

Simply a great person

Sheena was immediately responsive when I began reaching out to several law firms to handle my recent expungement case. After a couple emails with her, I had high hopes that she would be able to assist. Sheena was great in communicating with me throughout the case and always willing to take my call ...when I had questions. I would highly recommend others to reach out and retain her services if needed.

Great legal help from a true professional

Sheena is an excellent, organized and efficient, but more importantly, she is kind and understanding. Navigating the law is difficult for a lay person, but Sheena always had time to explain and unpack any questions we had throughout our years of working with her. I highly recommend her and would enco...urage anyone needling legal help to reach out to her. Thank you so much, Sheena!!

Expungement

I hired Sheena for 2 expungement cases one being a misdemeanor and the other a felony expungement. Hands down one of the best attorney experiences I’ve had throughout the years and unfortunately I’ve had many. She always responded to my emails and/or texts very quick from consultation until the end o...f the process. She knows her stuff and made the experience as painless as possible. I would hire her over and over again!
