Client

Shirley helped us to adopt our precious grandsons from my husbands addict daughter (meth). While we were dealing with irrational people on drugs causing many unnecessary hearings and emotional distress Shirley handled everything w an impeccable knowledge of the law, class and furthermore did not nick...el and dime us at all. I almost don’t believe the negative ratings as she is our hero and still works for us on other family matters.

Client

She did nothing to help me. I gave her lots of info, but she wouldn't even read it. She bargained w/opposing counsel at my expense because she didn't know what she was doing and made many mistakes. I would have been better off w/o a lawyer.
