Shirley Sutherland

Shirley Sutherland and her employees are some of the greatest people let alone lawyers that I have ever come to know. They are professional, responsive, caring, and most of all tenacious when it came to my case. They have been a great help and main cause in me being able to help settle my case in a t...imely, cost effective, and with my wishes in mind. The team Shirley Sutherland has in place is very communicative and dedicated to helping their clients in any manner needed. I would and am referring my friends and family to her for anything regarding family law practices.

Shirley and her team are outstanding—truly remarkable. They handled my divorce initially, and the results were exactly what I had hoped and asked for. When my situation changed and I needed to modify custody arrangements due to changes in my ex’s living environment, there was no question who I was... calling—I went straight back to Shirley and her team. What really sets them apart is not just how effective they are, but how approachable and supportive they make the process feel. They are extremely prompt, tactfully aggressive when it matters, and true advocates for their clients. At the same time, they take the time to listen and make sure you feel understood every step of the way. You can tell they genuinely care. Honestly, I don’t know when they sleep. If you’re looking for a team that will fight for you while also making you feel comfortable and supported, this is the one. Your Search is done!

My girlfriend and I retained the services of Shirley Sutherland’s law firm approximately eight months ago after she experienced ongoing issues with the father of her daughter. At the time, there was no formal custody order in place, which led to significant instability. The father frequently kept ...the child beyond agreed-upon times, failed to provide any financial support, and was not employed. Additionally, he had received a second DWI, with one incident occurring on the very day he was returning the child. His communication was often verbally abusive—even within a co-parenting app that could be reviewed by the court—demonstrating a clear lack of accountability. With Shirley’s guidance, my girlfriend was able to successfully navigate the legal process and establish a structured and enforceable possession schedule. The final order also included alcohol monitoring measures to ensure the child’s safety, as well as requirements for the father to re-enter the workforce and provide child support. Importantly, it also addressed communication standards by prohibiting profanity and abusive language moving forward. Shirley’s deep knowledge of family law was evident throughout the process, ensuring that all relevant scenarios were carefully considered and addressed. I would also like to recognize Shirley’s legal assistant, Amanda, who played a vital role in the experience. She consistently kept us informed, responded promptly, and followed through on every detail. Her communication was clear, efficient, and reassuring, giving us confidence that everything was being handled thoroughly and professionally. While we hope not to go through a situation like this again, we are confident that if we ever need legal assistance in the future, the Sutherland Law Firm will handle it with the same level of care and expertise. Thank you, Shirley and Amanda, for your exceptional work and attention to detail.
