Dave is easy to work with and great communication!

I sought out Dave's assistance to get a legal name change done. The process was easy and seamless. I think from beginning to end was about 2 months tops. Dave stayed in communication throughout the whole process.

Pre-nup

I hired David to write a pre-nuptial agreement for me. Unfortunately my marriage did not work out nor did the pre-nup. The pre-nup had multiple inconsistencies that opposing council pointed out and thus it offered no protection in the settlement.

very helpful and knowledgeable attorney

I have used David Sheffield on several occasions over the last couple of years to sort out some company issues and also some family legal items. Highly knowledgeable guy and very smart. Plus very easy to talk out the issues. Highly recommended.

Great Attorney for setting up LLC

I hired David to help set up our LLC in 2015. He did a great job in guiding us through the various ins and outs of this and especially with the operating agreement and all the paperwork associated with filing with the state of Arizona. He has a very calm and pleasant demeanor, fast worker, very accur...ate and is a pleasure to work with with lots of good practical advice. We have used David on several modifications to the LLC in the last few years. Highly recommended

Uncontested adult guardianship

My wife and me just received a guardianship court order for for our daughter that turned 18 and has a mental disability. Mr. Sheffield submitted a petition and represented us at the court hearing. The whole process went very smoothly. Mr. Sheffield acted efficiently, arranged the required interviews... to meet special needs due to my daughter's health conditions and language difficulties (we're not native English speakers). He minimized our involvement in the paperwork and kept us updated on the case status. I'm very grateful to him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
