Mikayla Shearer

Mikayla did a thorough job for me when I hired her last minute. She was responsive, knowledgeable and understanding. I am active duty military stationed in Virginia and my ex and oldest live in Colorado. My son had only been living with him in for a little over a year and we agreed to change the chil...d support amount. Everything was signed, sealed and filed at the courts. My ex out of the blue filed for reimbursement of overpayment of child support, which didn't exist. He wanted me to pay him for the months prior to the child support change that we agreed on. Never having lived in Colorado I did not have a clue what to do legally. I called the Harris Law Firm and was recommended to hire Mikayla because she was familiar with child support laws having worked there in the past. I had a virtual court hearing a week from the day I called, she immediately filed to have it rescheduled. This gave time for her to gather facts and communicate with my ex. After a couple months she filed for case dismissal based off lack of evidence and requested the judge to grant my attorneys fees be paid by my ex because this whole process was ridiculous. Once my ex got the filed petitions from Mikayla and saw what she was doing, he agreed to drop the case and agreed to pay over half my fees. She has the knowledge, facts and skills to help anyone. My son is coming back to live with me this summer and I am getting ready to retain her again to get all the paperwork for the living arrangements and child support documents signed and filed. I have no doubt she will do her best. Also, Jennifer is amazing and is so nice, helpful and responsive. I highly recommend these ladies! Thank you!

Hiring Mikayla to represent me in the divorce, but more importantly the child custody hearing, was in hindsight the most critical and important decision I had to make. Mikayla's calm demeanor became an incredibly valuable as we dealt with an opposing party who's arrogance reached a level defying comp...rehension. Mikayla brought knowledge, experience, intuition, empathy and a steadiness in briefing and advising me of next steps that was reassuring. The amounts of effort she spent gathering and asking for critical information to make our case, is without question one of the biggest differences in this David vs. Goliath legal battle. If you are reading this because you are in the unfortunate position of a court process being the only option now, then I would most emphatically recommend Mikayla to be at your side through the process. In the midst of all the stress and activity, my interaction with Mikayla helped me reach a place where I trusted her assessment of the situation, lay out the options to choose from, and then take the next steps. Now that it's all over, it's even clearer to me that my attorney mattered...a lot. If what you are dealing with matters a lot, reach out to Mikayla.
