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...

Very Disappointed and dissatisfied
I hired Sheila McCoy, the worst decision I ever made. I paid 4100 dollars, and all I have are motions that are not filed. We are going through a pandemic. She wanted me to give an additional 3500 dollars in order for her to get my spouses retirement information. On top of that , she said since my w...
CORRECTED COMMENT: The attorney-client relationship with this gentleman began 11 months ago. At the beginning of the attorney-client relationship, this individual signed a written agreement and paid this attorney 3,500. The former client also paid fees to the district clerk and to another professional affiliated with the case. As a courtesy, this attorney never charged the former client for any text messages or telephone calls that occurred during business hours or after business hours. It was the former client that didn't want to take his dispute before the trial judge. Basically, this individual didn't want to pay for court preparation or court appearances. The discovery process was more time consuming because the gentleman was married for more than 15 years and all major assets were titled in the wife's name. The former client was on notice that the case was contested because he was given electronic copies of the events that occurred in the case (e.g. court filings, correspondence, motions, discovery responses, and initial offers). After serving as this gentleman's attorney for seven months, I sent a written request for an additional retainer in the amount of $3,500. The client chose to retain another local attorney. Shortly thereafter, this attorney mailed a certified letter to the former client that contained a full and final accounting of the services rendered in the case. However, the certified letter was returned to me because the former client declined to accept the certified letter.

Mrs. McCoy has been such a blessing to me. She is a very compassionate and an excellent family attorney. She made the experience the best she could considering the ugly circumstances surrounding my case and an innocent child that was involved. She kept me informed and up to date throughout the entire...
