I hired sue for my cases and I have to say she was absolutely amazing . Price was very fair and honest . Allowed me to pay her in two payments which most lawyers don’t do , she was right on it as soon as she got my case , made me feel really good , while also safe , she was very responsive to all my question and my calls . Absolutely amazing work . Even after I moved to another state she made it super easy for us to work and get the case handle . If you need to hire a lawyer she’s the one . Don’t go anywhere . Best lawyer I’ve ever worked with

My new lawyer if I ever have to hire one again... Bonnie was recommended by a friend and I have to say I am impressed! I learned a lot from her in just a short phone call. I discussed my current concerns and she listened with empathy. Bonnie then laid out my options for me and we talked through those options, the likely expense and effects. She really helped me gain the clarity I was seeking. Thanks!

Unprofessional, unethical, and grossly disconnected from a child's best interest. She will do everything she can to prolong court processes to capitalize as much as possible off vulnerable families, including lying. If she is involved in your case at all, be it as your representation or not, make sure you get court transcripts every single time you go/ and whatever you do, record every single call you receive from her. Protect yourself and your family by keeping everything documented as it relates to her at all times. Just a hideous person inside out- she absolutely destroyed all trust between both parties of our case, and thrived off fueling the conflict. She is one of the worst people I've ever had to deal with. She will sacrifice all morality to "win," - as if your child 's life is a game. She is the epitome of everything wrong with our family law system. May all the harm she causes children and their families come back to her tenfold. Side note/ the poorly written (misspelled words/wrong names and dates, and incorrect grammar) of a parenting plan that she ensured was inflicted upon our family was so far from realistic, that neither side was able to follow it at any point the last several years, even within reason. It set everyone up for failure. So, after multiple years in court and thousands of dollars, the end result was a pitiful example of why family court is such an abysmal disaster to begin with and Bonnie Shields is the perfect face for that toxicity.

Sue was a pleasure to work with. I reached out regarding a traffic ticket. She was professional, prompt to respond, and helped resolve my case without any stress on my end. She communicated everything clearly to me and answered any questions I had. I would highly recommend her services.

Bonnie was so helpful with an attorney opinion letter for our common law marriage. She was able to complete a quick interview and develop the letter quickly, so we were able to close on our new home ahead of schedule. I highly recommend her!

Sue Kokinos is the finest attorney I have ever worked with. She handled my divorce with skill, expertise, sensitivity, and class. She was always available to speak to me the same day I called and was exemplary in communication and getting things done on time. She is honest, an excellent communicator, and is capable of negotiating highly practical solutions to seemingly insoluble problems. More than once, Sue successfully advised me on considering a sensible approach to something regarding which I was considering a somewhat extreme course of action. Sue is down-to-earth, practical, and unpretentious - she does not waste a client's time with non-essential conjecture (and I tried to not waste hers with mine.) Her fees are quite reasonable and I believe she uses her time wisely. I am happy to say that Sue Kokinos has agreed to represent me for the forseeable future. Thanks again, Sue!

Sue has been my family attorney for nearly 6 years. She’s handled my divorce, custody case, and assisted my family in estate planning. She is always my number one referral to friends and family in difficult custody situations, divorces, and life or estate planning. Sue acts with integrity and is well regarded by other attorneys; as her professionalism, reasonability and incredible way of working through tough situations without entering into unnecessary litigation is truly her mode of operation. Sue is wonderful and I’m happy to be a referral.

I have hired many attorneys since my Divorce. I have went to the expensive men’s rights Lawyers and the smaller cheaper firms. No attorney that I have hired or opposing counsel I have faced with Sue on my side holds a candle to her. When Sue is in court the Judge listened to her because she took the time to know my case and she was logical and clear in her arguments and filings. Almost all other attorneys I tried in the past seem so optimistic when you meet for the consult and then after thousands of dollars they realize they can’t deliver on the lip service they gave you in the beginning. Sue was a breath of fresh air. She is honest and forthright, she will not simply tell you what you want to hear. Sue will give you her opinion and work exceptionally hard as your best advocate. I have learned If I have reasonable expectations and give her the whole truth while following her advice I found myself in a better legal position than I ever had in the past. The only reason I started to become successful in court was because I was able to trust Sue, and follow her advice. I was able to trust Sue because she is not just an exceptional attorney; Sue is an exceptional human being. All my big legal battles behind me (I hope) I am moving forward and Sue is already working diligently to help me answer my questions and set up a Will and help me to further secure my children’s future with a Trust.

Bonnie is simply amazing! She is easy to talk to, very responsive via phone and email, and, most importantly, understands family law and how to apply it to various situations. She helped me with my divorce and then again a few years later to address a custody issue. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing family law help.
