“She respected that while at the same time reining me in when I was considering decisions that could have done real harm to me financially.”
4
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, both with clients and opposing counsel

5
Consistently provides thorough, well-prepared, and creative legal strategies
“Vicki was always readily available and highly responsive, It's a process that can potentially be difficult and taxing, but Vicki managed to make it a positive experience overall!”
Cons
1
Fees and billing practices may be a concern for some clients
“Somehow this all amounted to attorney's fees exceeding $”
2
Occasionally, the lawyer's actions may escalate conflicts rather than de-escalate them
“The emergency motion was filed by my ex-husband and only necessary due to Attorney Shemim's advice for me to change the locks to our former marital home. This was an action I wouldn't have taken otherwise, ultimately escalated the amount of animosity in the case and the judge disapprovingly viewed as a form of self-help.”
