Calm in a Storm

Ms. Shipley is amazing, I don't know what to do or where to turn and was all over the board, she listened to me gave her ideas about my situation and said I got this, just calm down. She's definitely Heaven sent, she's very knowledgeable & did extensive research on my case. She doesn't give false hop...e, she's honest and up front. I feel the best I can do is let her do her job, I have all the confidence I need, knowing she has my best interest in mind. thanks for all you help

Bulldog?

Someone told me Jolie was a bulldog. This was the reason we hired her to gain custody of my children. She was anything but that. Very hard to get in contact with. Seldom returns calls. On cell phone during court. My divorce has been prolonged since 2011. It's now 2016. 20 minutes before court begins,... she brings me in a side room and says," O.K. remind me about your case." I fired her the end of last year. I would absolutely not recommend using her services.

Needed help fast

My family and I found ourselves in a situation beyond our control and outside of Mrs. Shipley's specific area of expertise. She demonstrated an amazing degree of knowledge even though it was not her normal area of practice. She quickly and effectively protected our constitutional rights and rescued ...us from our hellish ordeal. We cannot give her enough praise and expression of gratitude.

A staunch defender of personal and property rights with strong moral principles. A true advocate for we the people.

Despite the situation that me and my family found ourselves in being outside of Mrs. Shipley's specific area of expertise, she demonstrated an amazing degree of knowledge and proficiency in the areas of personal rights, legal restrictions, and operational procedures. When we had been rendered incap...able of defending ourselves by and from the same Legal system instituted for the sole purpose of defending our rights, she was able to quickly and effectively secure the protection of our rights and rescue us from our otherwise helpless situation. We can't praise her enough for truly becoming our 'guardian angel'.
