Jolei Ann Bayard Shipley

I was deathly afraid she took my case because I didn't know anything about her first hand but, had great recommendations from friends. My divorce was long and really stressful. In the end, I was ready to settle and give my spouse whatever it took to just be divorced with the exception of custody of... our children. Jolei would not let me settle and told me I would regret it when my emotions settled down. I am thankful I listened to her. The end result was worth me holding on a little longer. I would highly recommend her as an attorney. My only issues have been with her staff not returning calls or notifying her when I called. This has been an issue for other clients I referred to her as well.

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.
