Our Testimonials

“Excellence in managing adult guardianship situation
Facing the need to protect a family member from their own diminished capacity is one of the most difficult legal situations most people will ever experience. Sheila is professional yet compassionate which is very reassuring. Sheila’s expertise helped us get through a difficult family situation, where an adult guardianship was needed. Her knowledge of the law was at the highest level. There were more than 8 attorneys in this case and Sheila was able to steer them into a more fruitful and effective direction. The other attorneys were going off on tangents that were not critical to the case, adding significantly to the legal fees. Due to her skill, our family member is now protected from herself and from others who might take advantage of her. I really feel that Sheila “had my back.”
