Mark Shields is an amazing attorney. He is dedicated to researching the law and getting a positive result for his 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! :)

Mark Sheilds is an attorney SHARK. Look no further. My case was VERY complicated, and I filed through 5 attorneys before finding Mark - by an absolute miracle! Mark was ASSIGNED as my attorney for our trial, 3 working days BEFORE my trial! Imagine my horror to learn I had a NEW COUNSEL. However, this man stood for truth, literally shook the court room with his expertise and powerful cross-examinations, examination, and closing remarks - he literally destroyed the web of lies suggested by the opposing. MARK is fearless and DETERMINED to win YOUR CASE as if you were all that mattered to him . He was a raging bull. My very litigatious, pompous, and disgruntled ex literally bolted through the exit doors after the session was over. On the other hand, we were high-fiving one another for days. Mark Shields has now become our family friend. We won everything we asked for. It was beautiful. Look no further. You found the right firm and THE REPRESENTATION YOU NEED. You can finally be at ease and sleep peacefully at night. Trust me.

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!

Best family attorney in Arizona!!! Great office staff that keeps you informed of everything going on with your case. Fair and affordable and they won't nickel and dime you with unnecessary fees. My wife and I were dealing with a custody issue that we couldn't handle on our own and we hired Steve Ellsworth to represent us. From the beginning they took control and handled all of our needs, questions, and everything else. Steve is the nicest, most soft spoken polite person you will ever meet but once he gets in the court room he DOES NOT MESS AROUND. My wife calls him the "Court Room Bulldog" 😁. I would highly recommend Ellsworth Family Law to anyone dealing with a family law issue. They are compassionate, professional, and most importantly they know what they are doing. Thanks again Steve & Ellsworth Family Law!!! We are so thankful for all you have done for us!!!!

Excellent attorney, excellent staff, they get the job done.

Spoke with Michele and Mark couldn't have been more happy to hear that we are going forward for my appeal very thankful that I called them highly recommend very caring and knowledgeable

Mark Shields is meticulous and honest in his approach to family law. He’s also fair and balanced and looks at what is best for all parties involved. I would not trust my case to any other firm. He is literally my hero for protecting my rights as a father. If you want the smartest attorney who’s affordable, go to Gillespie Shields law firm.

Taylor really represented my best interest and proved the rule of law without error.

These people never called me back after they said they would look into a Lawyer being available for my court date and make sure there were no schedule conflictions after I explained my whole situation and tried to schedule a consult. They never reached back out leaving me kinda in the dark. The receptionist had little to no information for me and told me she would directly contact me, never heard another word.

Taylor Larson represented me in an adult adoption hearing. We had to overcome several hurdles created by COVID-19 and we were successful. Taylor was professional and patient as we navigated the process together. I highly recommend Taylor!
