Ali and the entire team of Passenant & Shearin are very professional and knowledgeable in Family Law. Ali was there for me in every aspect of my very difficult case. She calmed me down when I was extremely emotional and feeling very victimized by my ex and the court. She fought for me every step of the way and was very compassionate. I would recommend Ali and this firm to anyone needing Family Law assistance.

I would highly recommend Sheila and Ali in Divorce and Custody suits. Both always had my best interest as the focus of the case and were most professional and ethical throughout the entire process. They were extremely organized and up to date on current laws and never once did I hesitate on their recommendations for me and my children. Having Sheila and Ali representing me was the best decision I made during this difficult time in my life.

I needed a law firm that would not only be compassionate and knowledgeable but would also be aggressive and take charge where I could not. I turned to Ali Miller and the Passenant & Shearin law firm. I always felt that my needs were met and that the firm was invested in me and my case. They were easily accessible, got back to me quickly, and got the results that I needed. Ali Miller is someone you can trust, she is kind, encouraging and always working for you. If you're looking for a family law attorney, Passenant & Shearin law is the firm to help you get your life back. Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you to Ali Miller and team!

Ali just helped me settle my separation breach of contract case. Ali was very responsive and kept me up to date throughout the whole process. Any time I had a question, she was very prompt with her research and response time. I felt very confident and informed going into my case due to Ali's hard work and knowledge. I would recommend her as an attorney to anyone needing help or guidance in a similar situation.

Thank you for assisting me with my divorce filing. I appreciate your attention to details, your timely responsiveness and your patience with me as I needed {much} guidance through the process. Made the entire process less difficult…or should I say, more enjoyable!

In a recent child custody action I had to assist my step daughter in hiring an attorney because the Father of their two children mistakenly believed he and his mother could take the children and limit her access to them by alleging mental health and child abuse issues. We hired the Law Offices of Passenant and Shearin Law after several consultations with at least three other firms . Ali Miller and Sheila Passenant listened carefully to the case status and quickly developed a plan of action within the scope we requested. Both attorneys attended the TPA hearing we had scheduled on short notice, as much of our pre hearing time and funding was taken up by other firms who wanted to expand the scope of our case beyond our means. The fact that both attorneys attended the hearing was a plus as opposing counsel was clearly flustered by the well prepared and well planned action of Ali and Shelia, who clearly demonstrated a superior knowledge of the Mecklenburg County Court system and their experience and knowledge of local Judges and recent rulings. Opposing counsel, although an experienced attorney, was handing the Judge pictures and other documents that almost looked like scrap paper compared to the binders and well organized documentation supplied by Passenant and Shearin Law. The end result was a Court Order that caused the Defendant / Father to turn the children over to my daughter the following Sunday on a week on and week off basis as she had requested from the Court. I have no reservation recommending this law firm and cannot thank Ali and Sheila enough for their excellent case work and support during this stressful period.
