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.”

“Mr. Taylor’s compassionate and experienced approach to estate and trust administration was a blessing during a challenging time. He helped us achieve excellent results. If you’re looking for a great attorney – look no further.”

5 Star Google Review, September 26, 2023

“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.”
