I am making an amendment to my first Yelp review! My first experience was with David Bartels with…read morethe Shep Law Group, however, I do not think he is there anymore! My divorce lasted a year and a half, and I didn't end up getting even visitation with my children, and I am the woman! Usually it is the man that doesn't get any custody! I was absolutely heartbroken! I've never heard of anyone getting divorced from their children! I know Ron and Brenda tried everything they could, I just believe that the court system is very corrupt! I spent $70,000 and I didn't get any custody not even visitation, as it sits right now. I don't know if I will ever see my children again! I did get a settlement that was my God given right to have! I still believe my husband made out with so much money that was hidden. Honestly, the whole thing was the biggest disappointment of my whole entire life! I have to learn how to go on with my life without my children, money doesn't really matter! I was gonna get some no matter what! I gave Ron and Brenda, five stars because of how hard they tried! My husband just had more money and better lies!

Hired him to recover my property i was awarded in the divorce that she refused to turn over after…read moremonths of trying to get it. For months he promised to file contempt and civil actions to get monetary value for my property. First it was he didnt want to file because our home was for sale and didnt want to "stir up a hornets nest" because i needed her signature to close the home as the market was plummeting. She filed frivolous motion after motion and emails pro se burning through thousands of my money and he couldnt even best a half wit at hearings. When house finally closed i demanded he file now after 4 months of burning through 9k in my money never recovering any of my property. Even after the sale he came up with excuse after excuse as to why he hadnt filed. He finally sent a demand letter in mid Jan giving her 10 days to pay or suit was finally being filed. 2 weeks after deadline i asked when suit was being filed and just after he asked for yet another 4k for my trust he sent me a letter stating he was dropping me as a client. So he billed me thousands for paperwork and demand letters after asking me to get my missing property from the 80k mark down to 35k so he could file in magistrate in order to recover attorneys fees. Weeks of prep and attorneys fees for a demand letter never filed. Only 2 times we appeared at hearings he was late both times. First time the judge was caught in the same accident traffic so he got a pass from the judge. Second time the judge was on time and kept pushing my hearing because he still wasnt there until the very last case of the hour. I dont care how much traffic there is Meridian to Caldwell isnt a 200 mile commute as a professional you should leave earlier. ******This review was edited after Mr Shepherd sent me a threatening email to sue a 100% disabled vet who is actually going in for spinal procedures at the hospital in 2 hours which further stresses a person who he was hired to protect. To answer his what i believe untruthful response because this is what he will do when he represents you. He states i "wanted to litigate against his advice". He was the one who stated i had a strong case for liquidation of my property to herself for pennies on the dollar. He wanted me to get it into magistrate court and have the emails stating such so i followed his "expert" opinion and got my actual damages down from 80k to 35k as he suggested. At no time did he tell me to not to litigate any further and anyone who wants to view the emails to that fact is free to see them showing i did everything he asked to sue for damages. He took my case to litigate and shouldnt have if he truly advised against it. As for all the other nonsense i couldve done everything else pro se and paid nothing. For anyone reading these reviews watch how he attacks the poster in all of them that is what our experience was behind closed doors was even worse for us in our opinion.

1 star My fiance and I hired Mark to write a cohabitation…read moreagreement. He took a $2500 "retainer" from us. My emails to him were often ignored and I had to repeatedly followup with him to get him to respond - often weeks going by and no reply. Each time it was the same excuse "I was in court". I understand that our job was small compared to some of his other clients but we could have at least received the courtesy of a response - saying I'll get back to you Xxxx. Although he did finish our agreement it was later than originally agreed upon and we have not received any invoice at all. The $2500 was a retainer, not a flat fee. I expected to receive monthly billing statements as I have with every other attorney I have hired in the past. Not have him take all of the money without any explanation at all. It has now been 3 months since he took our money and I have yet to hear from him with an itemized bill showing his time and charges. We feel robed. While we are happy with the agreement, we wish we had chosen someone else as his work was not worth $2500 or the stress of trying to get him to call or email us back.

She went against judge's orders without any consequences. I addressed this over the course of several months and Leah did not respond at all because she was more concerned with the divorce stipulations. At the end of the process, Leah finally addressed all the lies but blew it off by saying "what difference does that make in the end?" The difference that it makes is that it cost me a ton of money to defend myself with the constant lies and manipulations of my ex, as well as the fact that we have a standard in the court system. One cannot just completely disregard a judge's orders without consequence. But from what I understand this is a very pro-female state which doesn't surprise me because Leah is a female. So it appears there will be no ramifications and I just have to suck it up that I spent a ton of money to allow my ex to play God and overrule the judge's orders.
