About

Licensed for over 10 years, I am happily practicing in my chosen field of law.  Yes, I chose family law, I want to help you through your divorce, custody case, child support matter or post divorce issue.  I attended undergrad at Kansas State University, pursuing a psychology degree and law school at the University of Tulsa.  The field of family law is one of the few areas of law that allow me to make a true personal impact on a family.  I am originally from a small hometown, Pratt, Kansas, but have lived in KC for over 10 years.  KC is my home but I certainly haven't lost my small town roots.  My husband and I have a young daughter who keeps us on our toes, and when not parenting we love to attend sporting events (especially Kansas State events), movies, antiquing down in West Bottoms, the occasional beer tasting and pretty much anything outdoors.

Shea was the such an amazing attorney during my divorce. She was compassionate with me through the process which is very important when going through a divorce with a child. She always had my best interest at heart but straightforward. She explained how the court would look at matters and always tried to give and explain both sides to how the process worked. She and her team made sure things were handled and processed in a timely manner. I would recommend Shea to anyone, you would be in very Professional and Caring hands.

I worked with Shea Stevens for my Divorce case. Trust me My divorce case was one of the kind, Short term marriage but all kind of problems.We had no agreements at all on anything and I was facing heat in USA as well as outside USA as my wife`s family(outside USA) is creating all sorts of problems, so that they can double dip.She was an extraordinarily good listener and able to explain the relevant legal issues.Great advice. She advised me very wisely on every slippery turn I came across in my battle.Keeping reality and emotion separate, knows what she is doing, a very ethical office to deal with.Strong attention to detail, great communication.Each and every question i had was answered in timely manner.Opposition came up with all the claims you can think of, didn't lasted at all in front of Shea`s arguments.Not to miss Diana C,very professional and on the toes all the time. If you looking for an attorney who is ethical and credible.This is the office to reach out.Good Luck!

Shea Stevens is a talented and diligent lawyer and handled my case as Respondent to a quite contentious lawsuit requesting over half a million dollars . It required an detailed analysis of data and spreadsheets covering a 15 yr. period. She performed a thorough analysis of the data, did extensive research of applicable law, made successful claims to have portions of the claim rejected due to statute of limitations, performed in court in my presence quite professionally, courteously and thoroughly defended our points of law during trial. We won! The court only awarded a few thousands of dollars in judgment. We were both ecstatic! Shea and her team performed flawlessly and in the highest manner. Results speak for themselves... I could not have asked for a better lawyer or more equitable results. Shea in several instances went well above and beyond! I personally respect her to the highest degree and like her as a person as well. I can only say thank you to her for doing such a great job in handling my case and dealing with some severe extenuating circumstances. My wife died during this process, causing me much emotional and financial pain and she did not waver in helping me get though all the issues of that while still dealing with the need for trial preparations etc. Anyone needing legal assistance in her areas of practice would be well advised to retain her services immediately because you won't find anyone better! I can personally attest to that.

I originally spoke with Shea regarding her services as a mediator for my divorce. She was helpful in helping me understand her role as mediator vs attorney. Shortly after I called her to discuss options I hired her as an attorney. She kept me informed and updated me on what to expect at all times. Divorce is never easy, and Shea did a great job in keeping me informed what to expect at all times.

I experienced a divorce after nearly 35 years of marriage. I did not see it coming even though I now understand I share some of the blame. It was devastating for me! It seemed like my life had ended. Shea was very sensitive and honest with me which made an impression during such a devastating time of my life. I appreciated Shea's maturity and sensitivity and I felt I could trust her to have my best interests in mind. Shea stepped me through the divorce process with caring and understanding. I never felt hurried to make decisions. She even suggested I consider keeping my house which turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. This was just one of many decisions that helped me keep my life more normal. I am thankful that Shea was my legal counsel during those devastating times!

Shea was my second attorney, after I fired my first attorney since he would never call me back. Shea was always very responsive and straightforward. I was very pleased with my representation.

Great advice. She let me know that I was not alone and not the only client in my position. She told me what would happen and how, and then I watched it happen just as she told me. I would definitely recommend Shea.

I can't imagine that anyone ever leaves a divorce attorney's office 'happy' (it's just not that kind of job), but I left Shea's office feeling that I had been well-represented, well-served, and cared about. Ms. Stevens was honest about the time the divorce would take and, equally importantly, honest about the emotional and financial costs. She was an extraordinarily good listener and able to explain the relevant legal issues to me. I am also very grateful to her for helping me know when the time to make an offer and stick to it. Put simply, Shea is is extraordinary.

I hired Shea after my marriage to my wife broke down following me starting my gender transition. Given the circumstances, my ex was very emotional charged and her demands and crass behavior became very trying as the case developed. Shea was always very respectful towards me, even in the beginning when my physical changes were just starting and it would have been understandable for anyone unfamiliar with me to use the wrong pronouns. She apologized to me personally every time she had to misgender me or use my dead name in court or on legal documents. She also encouraged me to fight for a fair settlement agreement (which was eventually obtained), and reject open-ended legal language.
