Amber K. Shemesh

My review is delayed to allow time for disappointment to subside & give a factual review. Hired Attorney Shemesh for custody of biological grandkids from CPS, after their biological grandfather died. Made an office appointment with Attorney Shemesh & someone else met with me to take info she request...ed. The 1st court hearing, someone else was there to represent me. Later I’m told she’s a new attorney working for Attorney Shemesh. The attorney was learning & unable to legally respond to questions from CPS Attorney, Attorney Ad Litem or the Judge. Called office, requested Attorney Shemesh, was transferred to new attorney. Explained I talked to & hired Attorney Shemesh to represent me. Attorney stated she’d been assigned, informed her that’s not acceptable, have Attorney Shemesh call me. Attorney Shemesh showed up for mediation via zoom. Attorney Shemesh took a side bar conversation with the other attorneys & never discussed outcome, purpose or anything about it. No problems with Mediator, she did her job. Called office again, left message for Attorney Shemesh to represent me, didn’t happen. $19,000 later, no custody, no visition rights & grandkids awarded to Step Grandmother, who refused to sign the initial custody order. Only signed by their bio grandfather. My record was & is clean, had prior contact with Children prior to CPS involvement. New attorney held final court session after informed I was out of the country & couldn’t attend vs. rescheduling it. I contacted Attorney Shemesh based on this website review. Discussed case by phone before hiring Attorney Shemesh. I didn’t get what I paid for or agreed to. Was informed by attorney of my appeal rights but Attorney Shemesh didn’t do appeals. Was referred to an attorney to persue appeal, that attorney stated he didn’t do appeals & my time had expired. I was denied the opportunity to seek another attorney by Attorney Shemesh’s failure to inform she wouldn’t be working my case.

Amber has been and always will be my legal go to for family law issues. She's handled prior custody case and my recent divorce. I've been able to refer others to her with excellent results and resolutions. She and her team are super knowledgeable, thorough and professional. The communication and upda...tes were exceptional. The integrity and ethics to this office are of the highest level. Legal issues are never pleasant but they can be less stressful with the right the team handling your case. Look no further.

Amber K. Shemesh has Excellent communication skills! She is woman of many hats. Without her help, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. She took on an extremely difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected. She has stood by every one of my requests and gui...ded me through the entire lengthy process. I am proud to be her client and will continue to retain them for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands.

Amber and her team were amazing! As an active duty military member, stationed overseas, I already had a divorce decree and child custody/visitation agreement in the state of Florida. This agreement was very one-sided and my ex (and daughter) had relocated to the state of Texas. I contacted Amber an...d discussed my concerns. Amber immediately impressed me with her calm demeanor and knowledge of family court/child custody agreements. It was a long uphill battle for quite some time, as I had to communicate from overseas via emails and skype. Additionally, my ex was not as easy to work with. There were also issues moving the case to TX, as the opposing council did not want to this nor the mediation to occur. Bottom line, Amber assisted me in making this process easy, she answered all questions in an extremely timely manner and was extremely thorough with my case. She was honest and gave me real feedback on what the outcome may be dependent on each scenario. I never doubted Amber and am extremely satisfied. We were able to move things to TX and mediate. I would highly recommend Amber Shemesh to my closest friends and family. She is an amazing attorney. I cannot thank her enough for being patient, thorough and to keep me moving in the right direction. This all occurring with 6 hour time difference, 10,000 miles and COVID to boot. Thank you Amber for your amazing work! I honestly cannot express my gratitude to her and her team, words alone are not enough.
