Ms Shepherd was a blessing in a very complicated custody case. My husband is in the Army and was deployed during our case and even with him half way around the world Ms Shepherd made an effort to keep us both informed and involved in the case. I feel that she really cared about us and the best intrest of everyone in the case. Ms Shepherd was honest, hard working, and VERY easy to work with. We are so grateful for the hard work she invested in our family!
Ms. Shepherd handled my divorce in 2010-11 in a very responsive and professional manner. There were no minor children involved, the biggest issue was division of retirement assets. In addition, I moved to another state shortly after hiring her and my husband continued living in Missouri. She made it easy for me, was very responsive and kept me informed via phone, e-mail and US mail. She was supportive of my hope that the divorce could proceed without getting aggressive or "ugly." Though she did not feel qualified to handle some of the asset division issues, she quickly determined a way to get the job done without excessive cost to me. The entire process was handled without me needing to travel back to MIssouri.
Christen was very helpful during my divorce. She was able to sit down and explain things simply and in a manner I could digest. Working with her helped me to not feel overwhelmed by the complexity of the law. She also followed up after the court date and ensured I had all questions answered. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Ms. Shepherd was thorough, knowledgeable, assertive in court, and excellent in preparing key documents on time. She is easy to talk to and kind and compassionate.
I've had Christen for an attorney for serval years now. Best service in Town!! Awesome team behind her as well. I couldn't ask for a better attorney. Always there for advise when needed. Has never let me down yet!! You need an attorney???? Give her a chance to prove your case.
Christen did a wonderful job on my custody case. She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to hear and address any and all of your questions. I highly recommend her for any family law matters.
Ms. Shepherd is my first and ONLY choice for legal counsel in the Kansas City metropolitan area. She is exceptionally knowledgeable in the area of family law. She knows and understands not only the particular dynamics of family law but the Judges and court personnel, too. I have been very fortunate to have used her legal skills and services in numerous cases . . . and so will you.
Make sure you don't choose this attorney to represent you. She will not follow-up and told me she scheduled a court date in my case. I would have to check online to check behind her to see if anything was done that I asked in the courts. Would not respond to calls and emails and put me in a very bad position in my case. Kept my debit card information and withdrew funds WITHOUT authorization more than the one time I gave permission. Report her to the Bar Association. Please make sure you protect yourself against using this inept and unprofessional lawyer.
