She may seem great at first and if you’re lucky, maybe she will stay that way. But understand that she puts herself first and will not stand for you to a judge if she fears it will hurt her career. Don’t take a chance. She could destroy your child’s life and your own.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am truly sorry to hear that you had this experience. My commitment has always been to advocate fiercely and ethically for my clients, ensuring that their best interests are prioritized while maintaining the integrity of the legal process. Every case is unique, and I strive to balance zealous representation with the responsibility to act in a way that upholds the law and the best outcomes for all parties involved, especially when children are concerned. Legal proceedings can be incredibly stressful and emotional, and I regret that you feel let down by the process. If you would like to discuss your concerns further, I am open to a private conversation to address them directly and see if there is any way we can find resolution or clarity. Sincerely, Shandy

I was referred by a friend to Shandy, and I was very happy with the pricing, communication, and quickness of the whole process. Most lawyers want to drag it out, but Shandy helped me keep to a very amicable divorce.
