Never used their legal advice but made an appointment. The receptionist failed to annotate on the schedule though and upon arrival I was greated with a pretentious eyebrow raise and the question, "are you sure you are in the right place?" No thank u

Mr. Shimmell was very professional and helped my husband (and I) get more custody. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a family law attorney. He's easy to get in touch with, honest, affordable and a great attorney.

Dennis Shimmell is knowledgeable and fights for his clients with a fierce passion. He offers great advice and is respectful without being fake. He helped me regain custody of my children and increase received child support. I will say that oftentimes judge’s dockets are busy and because of mandatory legal wait times, your case may not be resolved right away. (I had to wait for the legal waiting period for my divorce to be finalized.) However, Attorney Shimmell will continue to work on your case and push to get it resolved in a timely manner. He is professional and abides by the legal ethical

Went through a divorce. Parted ways on excellent terms with the ex husband. He was the one who hired this lawyer. I was treated absolutely horrendous because I was the “defendant”. It was an easy uncontested divorce. The man has absolutely no manners and is horribly rude. No way to treat people even if it is the opposing party. My ex was even surprised on how I was treated. Lawyer or not still need to treat people with respect. Not to mention the lack of motivation of getting the divorce done. The divorce was not filed in a timely manner and was drug out longer than a very easy divorce should

Mr. Shimmell provided me excellent counsel. He advocated for my interests, and his experience and knowledge led to a much more favorable outcome in my case than I would have expected. Mr. Shimmell is respectful but not afraid to tell you when he believes you're not acting in your best interests. Hopefully I'll never need legal counsel again, but if so, I would not hesitate to contact Shimmell Law Offices.
