Mr shields is very personable and seems to be a good estate planner. But I was most impressed with his receptionist, Cindy C. She was very professional and helpful, a wonderfully efficient hard worker and just a very nice person.

What reviewers consistently praise: care for the whole situation, help during a stressful moment, and communication and updates. These themes surfaced across dozens of reviews when CrashStory analyzed sentiment and case-experience dimensions on this firm's Google reviews. Compare these against any other firm you're considering — most attorneys have only two or three themes reviewers consistently return to.
How we compiled this: CrashStory aggregates public Google reviews, Colorado crash records from CDOT and local agencies, and firm-provided profile data. We do not endorse any firm. Review intelligence scores are derived from automated sentiment and theme analysis of public reviews — treat them as one signal among many, not a verdict.

Subject: A Request for Integrity and Follow-Through Dear Mr. Shields, I had hoped to walk beside you as an ally—someone who believed in your word, trusted your intentions, and respected the man you appeared to be. You once told me you’d look into my case and represent me, and I received that promise as more than a courtesy—I received it as commitment. Not because of appearance, title, or tone, but because I believe that honor, integrity, and respect are what define someone as a man of truth. When someone says they’re going to do something and doesn’t follow through, it sends a message not just to me but about their own relationship with accountability. I write this not in anger, but in disappointment, and in the hope that you’ll step back into the promise you made—not for my sake alone, but for the sake of your own name. If there's something blocking your ability to engage or represent me, I ask you to communicate that plainly and clearly. If not, I urge you to take the steps you said you would. I don’t want conflict—I want resolution. I still believe in the power of someone standing by their word. With sincerity, Matthew Hernandez P.S. REMOVAL OF THIS REVIEW IS PENDING UPON COMPLETION OF SAID REQUEST- LETS TALK JAMES. IMMEDIATELY!
I had a great experience at James E Shields. I would recommend this law firm to all my friends and family . Robert was so kind and easy to understand . Always there to help .

Terrible lawyer, not recommended. He's been dealing with a simple guardianship case for four years and can't close it, making too many excuses.

I needed an experienced and skilled attorney for a Special Needs Trust and Mr. Shields was able to answer my questions and point me in the right direction to make an informed decision. Most legal issues cannot be taken by oneself, it is my experience that you always need a reliable, responsive and knowledgeable attorney, Mr. Shields is all that and more. Please reach out to give for a consult when you are in need of legal answers.
