I appreciated all his help. He walked me through the whole process and explained everything to me in a way I could understand. I definitely got my money's worth. I will wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone I know.

Dennis has been a tremendous help with my particular situation. It’s been a long journey but Dennis has maintained communication with me, is clear about his approach & what he needs from me. I’m able to get ahold of him through multiple forms of communication, & he’s always represented me to his fullest ability. Dennis has continued to assist me & is getting me the results I need in this complex situation. Thank you Dennis!

Response from owner

Thank you very much for having me represent you. It was a pleasure.

Dennis is the worst lawyer ever! He does not return phone calls and likes to drag cases out to get more money. All he cares about is money, that is his motivation. He uses stall tactics and will lie & cheat to obtain his desired result for more money. He's an untrustworthy snake who's going to burn in HELL!!!

Response from owner

I don’t know who you are as you were never a client of mine. I work hard for my clients and get great results for them.

I hired Dennis to be my divorce attorney. He could not answer simple questions that I asked about my case. He frequently entered incorrect information on my paperwork and got me confused with other clients a lot. He turned paperwork in late to the court when we had a deadline and not did notify me that we had not gotten the paperwork into the court. I had to find out from the court myself. His lack of accountability is very concerning and I would not recommend his services to anyone.

Response from owner

I disagree with your recollection of events. I represented you well, but we did part ways due to a breakdown of the attorney client relationship.

Attorney Shimmell is very professional and knowledgeable. He helped me in every step of my divorce and got me everything I deserve. His fees are very fare. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a divorce lawyer you won’t be disappointed.

Response from owner

Thank you. I strive hard to be professional and achieve a positive outcome for my clients. It was a pleasure representing you.

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 codes and therefore will not advise the opposing party. In my experience he does work well with the opposing counsel to help reach a fair resolution, if possible. I will continue to use Shimmell Law Offices for any future legal needs.

Dennis was excellent in every respect in representing our family. Not only is he good at what he does, he really listens to you and is willing to work with you to get the best outcome. If the need for a lawyer ever arises I would not hesitate to use Shimmel Law.

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.

Mr. Shimmell represented me very well. He was very professional during every visit, and always explained what was happening. He fought for my rights and did well for me. The staff was kind and always returned my calls.

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 be from neither parties doing. My ex husband “plaintiff” filed and it was completely uncontested by me. My ex thought it was absolutely ridiculous on how long it took for me and him both being completely cooperative. Totally unprofessional lawyer. Do not recommend

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.

Mr. Shimmell was an excellent choice for a very difficult divorce case. He is physically imposing which I found reassuring. He advocated forcefully on my behalf, was organized, responsive, and did not create extra stress. I found the price to be fair and we came to a fair conclusion with my ex-wife.
