Shea is an Excellent Attorney!

First, I'm sorry that you need a divorce lawyer. That said, I highly recommend Shea Steven's. She is an excellent attorney, very proficient, and compassionate. I appreciated that she had a pretrial call with me to answer questions and let me know what would happen at trial. She and her paralegal ...are very responsive to questions or concerns. I highly recommend Shea Stevens if you need a divorce lawyer.

Ethical and Professional

I worked with Shea Stevens for my Divorce case. Trust me My divorce case was one of the kind, Short term marriage but all kind of problems.We had no agreements at all on anything and I was facing heat in USA as well as outside USA as my wife`s family(outside USA) is creating all sorts of problems, so... that they can double dip.She was an extraordinarily good listener and able to explain the relevant legal issues.Great advice. She advised me very wisely on every slippery turn I came across in my battle.Keeping reality and emotion separate, knows what she is doing, a very ethical office to deal with.Strong attention to detail, great communication.Each and every question i had was answered in timely manner.Opposition came up with all the claims you can think of, didn't lasted at all in front of Shea`s arguments.Not to miss Diana C,very professional and on the toes all the time. If you looking for an attorney who is ethical and credible.This is the office to reach out.Good Luck!

Review of Shea Stevens

I originally spoke with Shea regarding her services as a mediator for my divorce. She was helpful in helping me understand her role as mediator vs attorney. Shortly after I called her to discuss options I hired her as an attorney. She kept me informed and updated me on what to expect at all tim...es. Divorce is never easy, and Shea did a great job in keeping me informed what to expect at all times.

Top Notch

Shea was my second attorney, after I fired my first attorney since he would never call me back. Shea was always very responsive and straightforward. I was very pleased with my representation.

A truly honest and excellent attorney

I can't imagine that anyone ever leaves a divorce attorney's office 'happy' (it's just not that kind of job), but I left Shea's office feeling that I had been well-represented, well-served, and cared about. Ms. Stevens was honest about the time the divorce would take and, equally importantly, honest... about the emotional and financial costs. She was an extraordinarily good listener and able to explain the relevant legal issues to me. I am also very grateful to her for helping me know when the time to make an offer and stick to it. Put simply, Shea is is extraordinary.

"Ms. Stevens is an excellent family law attorney. I formerly worked with her at the same law firm, and since then I have advocated against her when we represented opposing parties. Ms. Stevens is blunt and straightforward, giving clients realistic expectations of their chances of succeeding in court. She looks for ways to resolve matters outside of court, but she won't back down when her client's interests are at stake. Ms. Stevens will take the time to educate you about the legal process and help you understand the tools available to try to reach your goals. She has excellent trial skills, and is experienced in the courtroom. I highly recommend Ms. Stevens for your family law needs."
