The best in her profession. Ms. Shoop's unparalleled expertise in collaborative divorce made the process as low stress as it could possibly be for me, my former spouse, and my family. Her advice and approach allowed us all to move on to the next stage of our lives in as healthy and positive a way as possible. The respect that her legal colleagues have for her is also apparent, and was very valuable for ensuring a good outcome. A truly outstanding attorney.

If you're going through a divorce, a collaborative approach can often be the best path forward (assuming both sides are amenable). If you're using a collaborative approach, I highly recommend using Darcy as your counselor-advisor-mediator. Darcy does an excellent job of identifying each person's needs and wants. Using that, she finds the right balance between supporting each person while also being firm, when necessary, to drive the process to resolution. She also thinks outside the box, looking for creative ways to find mutually agreeable solutions. And once a resolution is reached, Darcy provides clear and thorough guidance as the matter goes to court for a final judgment. I hope I never have to use her services again (right?!), but for those who find themselves where I was, Darcy is the knowledgeable professional you want to help guide you through the process.

Darcy Shoop is quite simply the finest collaborative divorce attorney in the area. She is always on-point, will go as fast or as slow as you want, makes sure all parties are OK as a result of the work she does, and has vast experience with special needs of federal employees and the all the various instruments of asset division and strategy to maximize a cooperative couples best interests. Not only that but after she completes her work, she works closely with each parties own attorneys to fine tune any final details. I couldn't recommend her more highly, saved us thousands of dollars, was very compassionate all along the way, and was super speedy and efficient. Don't hesitate to use her, she is the master at what she does and everyone leaves feeling the best was made of a difficult and emotional situation

Darcy is an excellent legal counselor. I really appreciate her thorough and empathetic approach to providing customized family law solutions. I am a big fan of her collaborative law practice and will confidently recommend her professional services.

Darcy served as the mediator in our divorce. At the most difficult time in my life she was compassionate, supportive, and helped us reach an agreement and avoid litigation that would have been both costly and painful. Her office's welcoming, even cozy atmosphere is very symbolic of who she is, offering comfort and calm at a time when you most need it. We found her through the recommendation of a friend, and after working with her, I would recommend her to anyone. She is also just a wonderful human being and a credit to her field.

I had a relatively simple divorce and Darcy made it even easier. She was easy to communicate with: she was available to answer my questions even after hours or weekends. She explained the process, therefore I had no surprises. She's knowledgeable and drew my attention to details that I didn't consider before. I highly recommend her.

Darcy was wonderful during a difficult time during my divorce negotiations. As I tried to emotionally distance myself, I was able to see her take charge of the meetings and derive a fair and equitable agreement for all. Her competence was obvious. I was so glad I had been referred to her. She later did a pre-nuptual agreement for me and was just as good as during the divorce. I recommend her highly!

I reached out to Darcy to help me through this difficult time. She is exactly what I was looking for, professional, knowledgeable, responsive, caring and a person of integrity. It was important to me that my divorce was handled amicably and with no drama and I could not be more grateful, not only for the way Darcy handled matters on my behalf, but also how much she helped me regain confidence in myself. Thank you Darcy, I could not have made it without your support.

Darcy Shoop provided clear and sound legal advice and excellent guidance through the separation and divorce process. This advice was extremely helpful for drafting a parenting agreement that was acceptable for both parties, which allowed for an amicable ending. I also appreciated her straight forward approach to explaining issues and presenting multiple solutions with pros and cons to each.

Darcy was fantastic. In a situation where you need someone on your side and to know what questions to ask I was lucky to have Darcy. When the situation created emotion Darcy knew how to support me and yet keep me focused on the business transaction we were trying to accomplish. No feeling or concern went unnoticed. Every concern I had was addressed. She knew how to get the information we needed to move forward, that frankly I struggled getting out of my former spouse for years. When we finally finished the process we all walked away feeling the outcome was fair.

Darcy is a detailed lawyer that leaves nothing questioned.She knows how to deal with both parties involved and I feel confident in her decisions.
