Madison Carroll and Shari McPhail are both wonderful attorneys! Sharing helped me adopt my step son through proving abandonment of his biological father as well as getting my ex to drop a false dvpo she had put against me. Madison, although younger than myself, was extremely knowledgable with updated laws and child custody case law proving to be an exceptional asset to me winning my case! Both attorney's were straight forward, listened openly, and was available any time I needed them! Will definitely be using them again if the need arises! If youre looking for an attorney well worth your money for family court, this law firm is your one stop shop!

Shari and staff guided me through a difficult, emotional and traumatizing divorce. She is quick with a response, advocated and provided a safe space for myself and my children while we navigated the world of family court. She is a true advocate for women and children and goes above and beyond for her clients. I can’t recommend this practice enough. Everyone always provided a supportive, caring environment throughout a very difficult time.
Shari handled a case involving a lawsuit and contempt of a court order regarding my husband. We are both thrilled with how she handled everything. She is clear and to the point. She is also quick with responses and solutions. Her support staff have been wonderful as well. I say this not just because things went in his favor, but because we both feel she did her part. We needed someone who would be tough in the courtroom as the other party likes to try to fight dirty. She knew exactly how to counter and what sanctions to request. She was also very respectful to me throughout the process even though I was not a party to the two cases. She was reasonable with the retainer and billing. We certainly got our money’s worth with her representation. I wish she could be our attorney for everything, or that other attorneys would be more like her. Thanks, Shari and staff!!
I wanted more time with my children, but my ex was not very cooperative. So, I decided to seek out an attorney and was recommended by a friend to contact Shari McPhail. I took a chance, called her office, and scheduled an appointment. Her friendly staff were very helpful, and Shari herself was kind and supportive from the very first moment I walked in. From day one, Shari worked hard to help me achieve a favorable outcome. In the end, I was granted more time with my children. I’m very happy with the parenting plan I have now. My children are excited that they get to see me more often, and for that, I am truly grateful. “I would most definitely recommend Shari McPhail’s services. She will fight to get you what you deserve.”
Shari has been in my corner as a Family Law Lawyer for the past seven years. Starting with a Divorce and navigating that with two children to think about. She has helped me with many family court cases following that. She has always listened to me and gave me the best advice for my situation and the law. Her office staff is amazing as well. I would recommend her again and again.
