Client Testimonials

“I fully recommend Mark Shields; he is outstanding. He’s entirely competent, thorough and very forward thinking; he even anticipated what the judge would misunderstand. He was right; we had a contingency plan. His perfect focus locks him on priorities that matter most to our family and he managed our time and resources perfectly. My child’s life/our lives are better because of his expertise, understanding, and sense of humor and perspective.”

“Our business retained Marco Costa for an immigration case involving a future employee. We had no previous knowledge of what to do. Marco guided us through the process and prepared and filed all documents. We are so grateful for his expertise. We would very highly recommend him.”

“Wouldn’t consider referring anyone else. As a divorced father, I found myself in an emergency situation, fighting for custody of my kids. My original attorney, with another firm, was not able to accurately convey my case to the judge, resulting in an unfavorable ruling against me. After hiring Mark, he entered my case fighting an uphill battle, and was able to skillfully achieve the results I was seeking. He is fair, honest, intuitive, and incredibly smart. I wouldn’t consider using anyone else for family law.”
