Constance Shields

I provide skilled counsel, practical mediation representation, and 14 years of court room experience to my family law and guardianship clients in the Spokane area.

My professional experiences as a lawyer, guardian ad litem, and teacher give me the knowledge and insight to develop parenting plans for your children and present your custody issues to the court.

In my approach to dividing property and determining maintenance (spousal support, etc), I work with my clients to balance short and long term financial goals. The well being of their family now and into the future is my primary concern.  

I believe that it is important to work together with my clients to ground their decisions in a long term view of their new circumstances and build a solid future for themselves and their children. 

I am protective of the rights and the future of my clients. My philosophy is best summed up by Theodore Roosevelt, "speak softly but carry a big stick." If you believe this approach will work for you, please contact me. I will give your case personnel attention at a reasonable cost.
