Highly Recommend Ms. Shipley
I was in a very tough situation. Going into sentencing and my lawyer had just resigned. After reading Ms. Shipley's reviews I decided to give her a call. What an amazing and compassionate lawyer! From the start she was straight forward and honest with me about what was going on while being compassionate and empathetic to my situation. When it came time for my sentencing she did an amazing job with her plea of probation instead of jail time. Though a little pricey for my limited budget it was worth every penny to have Ms. Shipley representing me. I just can't say enough excellent things about this Lawyer other than I wish I had gone with her from the start and maybe justice would have prevailed and my case would have been handled better.

Tactful and trustworthy
I received straight forward, honest service from Carissa. She was knowledgeable and confident in my child custody case. I got everything I wanted and more. I could not have asked for a better lawyer to represent my case. I would highly recommend Carissa and use her in the future. She delivered excellent services for my family and I.

Awesome legal representative
Carissa has represented me for two criminal cases. I have also referred her to other people who have used her as well. If I ever need legal representation in the future, I will not hesitate to use her again.

Re: Carissa Shipley review
Carissa has become like family. She has been with us for over a year now and we are proud to have her as our attorney. She is very delicate with situations and is very understanding. She is patient with our difficulties and works with us. She continues to learn with us and always has the facts. I'm honestly very glad Carissa is our attorney, without her I couldn't say how things might of turned out. She gives us hope and that is something we almost lost. Thanks lady!

Miss Shipley has worked for me in several different areas. She is an exceptional attorney and her communications with me were superb and timely. She is very knowledgeable in her field. She is a compassionate individual and kept me informed on every aspect of the case. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends needing her services.
