Couldn't be more satisfied. Excellence in Parra legal services as well something often overlooked and I needed thank you Miss Viratari for your help!

Poor service. Kept file for a year just to tell me they cannot help me but yet I had a case. Make sense. John Foley Is a joke. Talks all this about being a former AG and isn't scared to sue a public entity but yet had the receptionist contact me 1 yr later claiming they Have no resources.

A Masterclass in Incompetence and Gaslighting!!

This law firm is an absolute disgrace. I scheduled an appointment well in advance for Wednesday at 9:30 AM. When I called, I was left on hold for 30 minutes—only to find out the paralegal wasn’t even in. Did they tell me this? No. I had to drag the truth out of them, not once, not twice, but THREE times.

The level of unprofessionalism here is beyond unacceptable. The sheer audacity to completely ignore their responsibility and then attempt to gaslight me into believing they weren’t at fault? Laughable. This isn’t a law firm-it’s a circus, and the clowns are running the show.

Save yourself the headache and take your business to a firm that actually respects its clients.

I cannot possibly express the extent to which I am indebted to Mark Shields. This man is responsible for my even being ABLE to have a family. I was in a very nasty divorce, had an ex wife that was lying to police, judges and our children, all of which created a very difficult legal landscape. Obviously every case is different, so bear that in mind, but Mark won EVERY SINGLE case we had before the court. His advice allowed success on all the interactions with the court that weren't in front of a judge as well (we had some court mediation sessions at which attorneys were not allowed). I have a great relationship with my children (one of whom is now an adult). Were it not for Mark Shields, I wouldn't have even been able to have a relationship with my children at all.

Everyone in his law office was kind, helpful, expedient and available any time I needed help (which was OFTEN). I have recommended Mark Shields to people without hesitation ever since he first represented me.

One other thing I want to say about Mark Shields - he's an HONEST and GOOD person. He's now a friend of mine, which I cannot say about any other attorney that has ever represented me (I've had some non family law matters as well as a previous family attorney. NONE of those three attorneys would I ever consider to be my friend...). I trust ANY advice Mark gives without question. He has proven himself to be extraordinarily capable and insightful, as I said - even in situations where he cannot physically be present, he can advise you on what would be best to do.

HIGHLY recommended! 🙂

GillespieShields has done a great job for me! Mark Shields did an excellent job. I have the pleasure to work with Jeff McCombs now for a number of years and he is a very good attorney. Jeff's attention to details and work in the courtroom is outstanding. I highly recommend him and have been very pleased with how things have been handled.

Mark Shields is a fantastic lawyer but more so a wonderful, kind & caring human being. It's been many years ago when I first hired him. So long ago that he wasn't even a partner yet. The firm name was still Gillespie & Associates. Have used the firm one time since with fantastic results. I highly recommend this firm.

I can’t express how grateful I am for Robert Newell and his team representing me. I walked into his office terrified of court and unsure what to do. Robert was very patient with me and very upfront about what the possible outcomes could be. He guided me each step of the way and stayed calm even when I was worried. Robert was amazing to watch in the court room. He was knowledgeable and very collected. He held his composure even when the opposing counsel tried their best to rattle him. I walked away with everything I had asked for and even more. Robert represented a good friend of mine who referred me to him because she was so happy with the outcome of her case. He won’t string you along and promise things that may not happen. He presents the different possible outcomes and let’s you decide which route you want to take. Court is not fun… but if you have to go to court you will want an attorney who knows what he’s doing to represent you. Thank you Robert for all you did for me and my family!

Mark Shields is an excellent attorney! He is also a wonderful human. He showed me kindness and professionalism through a difficult process. He went above and beyond to represent me. The difference with Mark…he truly cares about his clients! I highly recommend Mark Shields!
