Thank You, Shirley!

If you want a lawyer who will fight for you, keep your best interest in the forefront, and get you what you want, look no further. Shirley and her Legal Assistant Amanda were amazing during my divorce. Both of them calmed my fears, and addressed all my questions and concerns in a very timely manner. ...The way they handled my case let me know they really cared about me - I wasn’t just a source of income for them. I can’t thank Shirley and Amanda enough.

Thankful for Shirley and Amanda

I can’t express how thankful I am to have found Shirley and Amanda during my custody case. They both communicated well and helped me through this difficult situation. They made sure to go through all our documents (they tried to sneak things into our orders) and stepped in when opposing counsel didn’...t follow through on orders etc. They worked to ensure my daughter’s safety and I can’t say how grateful I am.

Best Law Firm in Rockwall!

Amazing law firm! Shirley and Amanda have helped me navigate through a difficult divorce and custody case. They both have shown kindness and compassion toward me and my family. Shirley goes above and beyond for her clients and Amanda is always on top of her game. Excellent legal team!

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.
