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.
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

Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to leave a 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your wife are found our legal services valuable, especially with such a challenging conservatorship case. It’s rewarding to know that our professionalism and knowledge have made a positive impact on your experience.
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.
I gave this place a call looking to book a consultation, they were so helpful on the phone and I got to talk to an attorney right away who actually took the time to investigate a call I got from a debt collector calling about a debt from 1997. confirmed it was a scam and informed me of the statute of limitations for collection calls, especially threatening ones. I was put as ease immediately. thank you so much for your time and help.
