About Shmyla
Biography
I'm dedicated to helping my clients achieve their goals. My practice is primarily focused in the area of family law. Family law matters can include adoptions, pre and post nuptial agreements, divorce, juvenile matters, child support and child custody related issues, property division and protective orders. If you are seeking enforcement of a previous order, or require assistance in a modification of a previous order, I will zealously advocate for your rights and interests. I understand that family law matters can be a difficult and stressful transition, and I would like to help you through that process.

Well worth it!!
I had 3 bitter exes team up on me. It was the most stressful time of my life. I was scared that my nursing license and kids would get taken away from me due to false allegations. Shmyla was very prompt, knowledgeable and amazing in trial. Would highly recommend!!
