Successful Expungement

Sheena came to my aid in a very difficult and confusing time in my life. She guided me through the expungement process with care and professionalism. Her soft touch and patience to explain the complexities of the expungement process was beyond helpful. Sheena does a fantastic job and would recom...mend her services to anyone who needs legal services.

Professional, Affordable, Pleasure to work with

I hired Sheena for the expungement of multiple past criminal convictions. She returned my original inquiry within days, explained everything clear and concisely, and gave me a fair price up front. She answered all of my questions and let me know how the process would work what to expect. I had multip...le cases in serval different jurisdictions and was able to resolve them all in a reasonable amount of time. She was always just a call or email away and was always friendly. I am completely satisfied. 5 stars.

Great Service

Hired Sheena to take over from a previously lacking attorney to handle a revocation hearing. She was always prompt and polite. Most importantly, she got the job done to my satisfaction at a more than fair price! I recommend her services to anyone in need. Thanks again Sheena!

Out of State Expungement

I had an older record of conviction in Missouri and I live in Arkansas. Not knowing any lawyers in Missouri, I did a Google search for expungement lawyers and came across Sheena's firm. After a couple of phone calls, I was quoted a price and told an attorney would be in touch. From the first conversa...tion with Sheena, I knew I was in capable hands ! Sheena is very polite, professional, and thorough. Good communication and documentation from her, and I had a successful expungement hearing without leaving Arkansas, cause I was on speakerphone with the Judge ! I highly recommend, you wont regret the choice !

There is not a better attorney in KC to handle your SORA case!

I had retained two different attorneys before I met Sheena Foye. The previous attorneys took my payment and eventually came to the conclusion there was.nothing they could do. By pure fortune, I found Sheena and consulted with her. She was the first attorney that gave me any hope. She knew we had a... fighting chance. Sheena has such a strong relationship with the prosecutors in KC. She was actually able to get me personally in front of a District Judge and the Assistant District Attorney in Kansas City. Her knowledge of MO SORA law and her strategy was really incredible. She was able to get the most disastrous burden in my life fixed. Both the Judge and the Assistant DA agreed that l should not have to bear this burden any longer. She was a life changer for me. I will tell you that if you have a similar situation there is not a more passionate or more knowledgeable SORA attorney in KC. 5 stars!
