She was hired by my ex and defended him, an abuser who threatened our children’s therapists over and over and blocked their ability to go when their mental health suffered.. all Sheila could think about was winning. Well she lost the trial, I had testimony from the therapists, and She lost most hearings .for that matter. I always got what I wanted but she had to put us through hearing after hearing. My kids suffered from the stress. Now My adult kids suffer emotionally. due to her defending an abuser and being denied therapy ,rather than refusing a client who is a child abuser. And enabling him. .For 25 hearings ,she defended his abuse. Over 15 years. Not sure how she sleeps at night. My adult kids emotional state have now been impacted by this. I imagine what my kids emotional state would be if she refused his multiple frivolous claims and had the professionalism and character to manage her client and do what was in the best interest of our kids. And she abused me as well ,so buyer beware of the emotional state of a person like this. Divorce doesn’t have to be war. With Sheila it will be.

Best decision I made was to hire Shelah Feiss as my divorce attorney. She guided me thru a tough legal mess and some very involved property division issues. I never felt lost or uneasy in the court appearances and negotiations that occurred.

Shelah Feiss came highly recommended to me when I was looking for a divorce attorney and I was not disappointed. What I thought was going to be a simple divorce procedure, became complicated when my Ex’s lawyer started making pointless requests that drove her attorney’s fees through the roof. Through it all, Shelah provided excellent counsel, kept me grounded and helped negotiate a very fair settlement agreement all while keeping the legal fees realistic. In addition to her professionalism and legal expertise, Shelah is a great listener who helped me think through several issues with sensitivity and kindness. Bottom line is, I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

I was extremely happy with Shelah Feiss as my Divorce Attorney. She was fair and focused, and helped me to consider all my options. She gave sound advice, focusing on the real issues. Ultimately the decisions were mine and she always made me feel that this was true. I will be retaining Shelah's services on follow up matters as necessary. I strongly recommend Shelah Feiss.

Shelah assisted me with my divorce last fall. From the minute I met her I felt at ease and knew I was in very competent hands. She guided me through the entire process letting me know what was at stake and also what was realistic. When bumps came up Shelah, managed them and was able to keep me grounded. Shelah is a wonderful negotiator and knows when to be chose a battle and when not to. And if she chooses it, in my case, she always won it. I would highly recommend Shelah. I might also mention I was part of a same-sex couple and never for a second felt she was uncomfortable representing me and talked openly and honestly about the uniqueness of my case since same-sex marriage is still relatively knew and there are still untested scenarios legally that will eventually create case law. She knew I didn't want this and made it her priority to avoid it even though the opposing attorney was eager to do so. Finally I will add that in addition to excellent representation, Shelah was very sensitive to the legal fees being incurred and always tried to find ways to avoid incurring more unless she felt motion or a communication was imperative. She is not an attorney who filed pointless documents just to run through the retainer.

Shelah helped me with an issue related to my child. Despite the really tough opposition Shelah did an excelled job and helped negotiate a settlement for a very decent amount. Through it all, she was a great go-to person, who always listened kindly, and offered practical advice. In family related issues, emotions cloud one's judgment. On at least 2 such occasions, I asked Shelah and her advice proved invaluable. I recommend her whole heartedly. I honestly never want to go through the family court system again, but if I had to, Shelah is on my speed dial!

Attorney Feiss always represented my case with professional integrity. She sorted out the necessary details of my difficult divorce and worked diligently with opposing counsel for a fair and just agreement. I would recommend Shelah to anyone looking for a "good lawyer"!

Shelah Feiss was my divorce lawyer and she did an excellent job. As a man in divorce court I was at a disadvantage. Nonetheless, Ms. Feiss obtained for me as good a settlement at the time of divorce in 1994 that I think it was possible to get, with reasonable division of marital assets and protection of my right to be with my three sons. Subsequently, Ms. Feiss took advantage of changes in the alimony law to obtain enormous relief for me when I retired, so I was able to end alimony payments then. Ms. Feiss was aggressive, pro-active and well-prepared on my behalf, and always kept me well informed. She knows the law and she knows how to help a client get the best outcome possible. She is a wonderful divorce lawyer!

didn't pay attention; didn't communicate with me; didn't understand the case; didn't have enough time to pay attention to my case.
