Father of 2

Probably the best Law Firm in the Inland Empire and its slogan is pretty accurate, "Big Firm Expertise" (Results Oriented my story being the proof) "Small Firm Attention" ( I know the full names of my team to include the billing coordinator) All of those key members of my team, made me feel that spec...ial and that I was the only case they cared about. In actuality, the lawyers of Shauna M Albright care for every case they have, it just that when you are with them it feels like all the attention and care is given for you and your family and that feeling is special. These situations can be rough for the soul and oftentimes you may feel alone and isolated from anyone that is not going through what you may be going through... But it was this team, that help me get through the dark and stressful times, and wouldn't you know it, I won my case. Brandy, Suzanne and Pat made up my legal team and BOY!!! I tell you, they did not fail me. A couple of things I want the readers of this review to know about my experience with Shauna Marie Albright's Firm. 1. Cultivated a culture of openness in information sharing. From the moment I retained my team till this very day, the channels of communication were open and consistent. Never did I ever feel that I was chasing my lawyers, they were always there for me, via: Text, Email and Call. All mediums of communication were perfect. I understood the process, I was prepped and coached and the result was winning my case. As a single father of 2, I can proudly say " thank you to Shauna M Albright. You answered my prayers during one of the most trying times in my life and made a bleak situation, a transformative one. Brandy, I want to thank you for winning not only for myself but for my family as well, you have made a enduring mark of my lives of my children and because of your dedication to my case, their lives will be forever changed for the better. Suzanne, I want to thank you for always listening to my endless questions about the process. You allowed me to complete my thoughts before ever interrupting. You genuinely empathized with my situation gave me feedback when needed and demonstrated a sincerity in case that made me feel empowered and comfortable about the process. I thank you. Ms. Pat, I just want to say for the readers out there, that if I am thanking the billing coordinator, then clearly something went extremely right lol. Ms. Pat, thank you from the depths of my heart for always willing to work with me. You were firm yet flexible, consistent while not overbearing, and understanding not intransigent. These qualities, these experiences are hard to find and even rarer in situations regarding law and large sums of money. In closing, ladies and gentlemen, I won my case, and would not have been possible without Shauna M Albright and terrific team. I will ALWAYS go them with legal matters that they are versed in and I will ALWAYS know I am in good hands. So readers, I strongly recommend Shauna M Albright. I believe in them, and once again I won. They are quite simply the best.

The Best

My custody hearing was was Dec 2018. After trying to represent myself so many times before in court and dealing with the stress of the paperwork. I am glad I found the Law Offices of Shauna M Albright. They defended me in my child custody case. I was super nervous because this is the first time I hav...e ever had a lawyer and I the crazy request my children’s father was seeking I just couldn’t let happen. Mrs. Albright , Samantha (the paralegal) and the team really supported me through the entire process and Mrs. Albright really went to bat for me in court. She was well prepared and when it was her time to speak she laid out the entire back story really putting emphasis on the inconsistency my children’s father has in regards to involvement in their life. Which gave the judge a very vivid picture of what we were defending. Mrs. Albright carries herself very professionally and genuine shows concern about your situation as if it’s her own which means a lot because my children mean everything to me. Overall Mrs. Albright won my case for me and my children’s fathers request was denied and his orders were left the same. So I was very pleased. The courts messed up on the paperwork they submitted to us with the order on it and I reached out to Samantha and Mrs. Albright about it and they amended the order and got it fixed within a few days (because it happened over a weekend). Overall I am very pleased with the entire team and it feels good to now say I have a lawyer to call. They honestly care about your situation and treat you like family. I will always go to them and recommend them 100%.

Smart, Strategic & Compassionate

Shauna handled my divorce and custody case from the beginning to the end with the utmost class and dignity. She would always keep me informed and suggested strategies that were always honest, ethical and above all else affective. The quality services I received from the Law Offices of Shauna Albright... were remarkable. Shauna has been a dedicated counsel and friend. I highly recommend attorney Shauna Albright.

Excellent Family Attorney and Litigator

I hired Mrs. Albright for a custody issue. My ex-husband was trying to get custody of our two daughters. I was scared that he would win. I interviewed several attorneys and decided that Mrs. Albright was the right fit for me. The first thing that I noticed was that she was highly informative. Sh...e explained to me the pros and cons of my case. She then came up with a game plan to get me the results I was looking for. On my court date, I was nervous. Mrs. Albright came to court with me. She argued my case to the judge and made all the critical points. I did not lose my girls and the case went very well for me. She was prepared, professional and had the respect of the judge. I have referred a couple people to her and they are very happy with her firm.

review

I went to Shauna Albright seeking help for my divorce case. The first 15 minutes were awesome because it was free and she tells you what you want to hear. I was excited I could get good representation. I gave her my retainer money. My hearing got postponed to a later date and never heard from them a...gain. Once the hearing was close they started calling me. Using up all my funds. The paralegal Gina was the most rude careless person. They kept all my money. What did they do absolutely nothing. Then they assign me another lawyer and was asking for 5k more. For her to represent me. No thank you. I am so upset just a waisted my money time. On what? Nothing. I hate them more than what I hate my soon to be ex husband.

Dear Client: thank you for expressing your concerns. I have read your review and would like to discuss this with you further in person. I and the attorney that was handling your case would like to go over all the work that has been prepared in your case with you. In the meantime, please know that my office strives to give our clients excellent representation. The attorney working on your case has dedicated several hours on your case in an attempt to resolve matters in a timely manner. Regarding the continued hearing, It is customary practice among Family Law attorneys to continue a case when the hearing date is close to the date you hire us. We explain this to our clients beforehand. We do this in an effort to give us more time to adequately prepare for your case to give you the best representation possible. This in no way negatively affects our clients' cases. Regarding any additional retainers requested, as a reminder we are very open with our clients about their cases and how much time we believe it will take to resolve all issues. As explained, clients are billed on an hourly basis. This is customary practice in Family Law. I do apologize that you felt we did nothing on your case. I am willing to personally meet with you to discuss the invoice as well as all the work that has been prepared on your case. I hope to speak with you soon and wish you the best of luck!
