Outstanding Representation

The legal work that Connie Shields did on my behalf was outstanding. Connie was very attentive to my needs and helped me out of a very uncomfortable situation with minimal financial risk. I am very grateful to Attorney Shields and would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an honest straight sh...ooting lawyer.. She is a brilliant, hard working attorney who knows the law very well and is a strong advocate of her clients.

THE best attorney in Spokane!

Connie is not only a great lawyer but actually has a heart too unlike some lawyers I have experienced. Connie helped fix my parenting plan that a previous attorney messed up and made me feel like I was in good hands. I recommend Connie to anyone with a family law case because she will do what she can... to make sure you are comfortable and get what you need. Connie is the best in Spokane!!!!!! Wonderful person and lawyer! Always kept In contact and did not break our wallet at all! She kept things in perspective for everyone, has a lot of experience and just overall best experience with an attorney I've ever had! I'm primary parent and we didn't even have to go to trial, we got things settled in mediation which was a huge surprise to me!

Connie Shields is an exceptional lawyer

I would like to start out by saying the times in your life that require you to seek out legal representation can be some of, if not the most difficult times you will ever face. During my very difficult child custody dispute, both emotionally and legally, Connie shields was there by my side. I hon...estly can't imagine having to go through any of this without her. Connie has a strong level of professionalism and is very knowledgeable within the family court. She brings an honest level of optimism and hope to the table. She is very easy to speak with, and never once while having to empty out all my " dirty laundry " did she pass judgement. She is there to assist you, support you, and fight for the best possible outcome. Connie has a very strong network within the surrounding areas legal arena. she utilizes those networks extremely well to assist you in your case. Never once was I left in the dark. Her assistant and herself were always punctual and responded immediately to every question and concern big or small. I highly recommend taking advantage of this exceptional lawyer. She will give you 110% and do it in a way that will allow you to keep your head on straight. No lawyer can work miracles, but Connie comes pretty close. Good luck!

Brilliance

Ms. Shields was my consistent light through a dark battle that I could not have handled without her guidance. She ensures you can trust her judgement and knowledge to lead you through. Truely a gem and could not have gotten through my situation without her. I owe her more gratitude than there are... words to express.
