You will not find anyone more qualified or skilled. Mr. Shipley was an absolute blessing for my family and a man of integrity. The way my family was treated is a testament to his character and commitment to the community he represents. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

If you are looking for compassionate and communicative legal support, I highly recommend Shipley & Swain. Their team helped me every step of the way when I was filing for divorce. Luke was calm, confident, and reassuring.  Debbie the paralegal was quick to answer any questions I had throughout whether that be about the general process or updates on my case. I am forever grateful.  I can't recommend them enough.

Legal matters concerning family issues can be difficult to navigate.  There is pull and tug and things get emotional.  You want attorneys who are honest and fair and will stand in the gap for you with compassion.   Shipley & Swain PLLC are those attorneys.   Seasoned attorneys who are not only family oriented (as they have children of their own), but they explain every part of the legal process and work hard to keep you and your children’s best interests in mind.  There is no cost for phone consultations and the firm strives to work with your busy schedule.

These folks fought for me like I was family. They worked unlike anyone I had ever seen. They're the first firm I've ever worked with that looked at me like a person, not a case file. They fought like pit bulls. If you have a marriage or family law issue, these are the people.

I wholeheartedly recommend this office, particularly Mr. Shipley and his wife. They were exceptional in their service. They went above and beyond to resolve our case, even through such difficulties . Mr. Shipley not only solved our problems but also provided us with a refund of the remaining amount after the case was settled. He achieved our wishes and did so with exceptional professionalism. I will absolutely refer any family or friends to him in the future. He will be just a phone call away if needed in the future as well. I don’t want to forget that he also responded to us on weekends and holidays when we needed him. He was very patient and understanding of everything we wanted, asked, and needed. He truly did not disappoint. Thank you, Shipley & Swain, for everything you’ve done for me, my family, and my child.

I had an extremely good experience. I live in Houston and was fighting for custody of my son in TN. I was recommended to Mr Shipley by another attorney here in my area. Him and his paralegal where on the ball when it came to sending me all the information I needed and he did what he said he was going to do my son comes to live with me and my wife this summer. We are so excited and thank Mr Shipley for all the hard work he did. I would recommend him for child custody cases anywhere.
