This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thank you Ms.McCoy

Ms. Shelia McCoy has been my attorney for almost three years. Although my case was extremely contested, I never lost faith. Whenever I had a question or concern, Ms. McCoy promptly returned my calls and text. Ms. McCoy kept me abreast of my case in real time, not days later. She always gave me go...od advice . She never lost communication with me and was always on top of everything concerning my case. I am so grateful to my uncle for referring me to Ms. McCoy. So, if you want an attorney that sincerely cares about you and your children, you can't go wrong with hiring Ms. Shelia McCoy. Val

I have known Ms. McCoy for the past six years. Ms. McCoy a precocious Attorney with a valuable trait of humility. She is creative, always presenting her ideas in like manner. Her behavior both, in the court room and away is exemplary. I have found Ms. McCoy to be quite modest in her approach towards ...life. She has demonstrated an amicable nature and good qualities and has made her presence felt among all clients. She has the necessary aptitude, dedication, motivation and perseverance for securing the best outcome for her clients. She has a good logical reasoning ability and will always try to solve problems efficiently. In addition, she has demonstrated excellent powers of observation and communication. She is both self-confident and independent and has a great sense of humor that has helped her form strong relationships with her peers. In all areas of our local community, Ms. McCoy has gone beyond expectations. Ms. McCoy has made me proud; to be a part of her team.

Mr. Darrain Burns

I was looking for legal representation, and I had heard about Shelia McCoy. She did an excellent job on my divorce and I would definitely recommend her at any time for legal representation.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

The most professional and caring Attorney I know.

Shelia McCoy is a beautiful woman inside and out. In all my 53 years of living, I have dealt with many attorneys from California to Texas. In all of my experiences lawyers were not very concerned with your situation or showed any empathy. Well, Shelia McCoy is all of that and more. When I saw her in ...action in the courtroom that was when I knew if I needed an attorney I would be hiring her at all cost. Before I actually needed her services a friend mentioned she hired her for her divorce. She spoke so highly of her. Shelia made things very easy for her during such a difficult time. Shelia McCoy is the best attorney all around she actually listens to you and will offer you all the options available for your situation. While most attorneys tell you what they will do and nothing more. She made me feel very comfortable and confident during the process of my legal situation. Lord knows if it wasn't for her I would not have gotten any results. This lady has a heart of gold but she is definitely an expert in what she does. I thank God for her.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
