Sheera’s Reputation
Though we can’t guarantee results, and every case is different, we’ve had some pretty happy clients over the years!
She responds to my requests
Thank you for all your help over the past year and a half. You have always been so prompt to respond to my requests and so understanding. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you.
Sharp as a tack
Sheera understood the facts and developed a plan that I am completely happy with. I have and will continue to recommended her whenever someone needs a divorce lawyer.
Sheera has represented me in the past
Sheera has represented me, very successfully, in the past. She is compassionate and warm in person, yet tough and effective in the courtroom. I believe in getting out ahead of potential problems, which was the purpose of this consultation. I highly recommend her!
Sheera was very informative and competent
She knew what she was talking about and showed me mistakes other legal professionals missed in my court filings. I was impressed with her knowledge and she laid out all of my options for me in a clear and concise way, which is exactly what I needed.
My biggest regret is that I did not find Sheera sooner
My ex-husband, also an Attorney, can manufacture more loopholes and psychological backflips than any other 100 people I know – and Sheera handled him VERY well. The fact my divorce was granted on Halloween day could not have been more poetic. My biggest regret is that I did not find her sooner and my biggest relief is that she helped rescue me from a marital nightmare. I give her my highest respect and recommendation – and so do my parents and friends.
