paid shireman 3500 dollars and got the worst attorney money can buy.i needed help to get custody of my child and had to hire another attorney just to get my basic rights.

overall very disappointed

Attorney Shireman- Avoid this attorney if you don't like getting ripped off. Contacted him in Sept 2017 to represent me in an interstate custody. He blew through my $10000 retainer in a month!!!! Then demanded more money and when I questioned his outrageous billing practices, he immediately withdrew from my case right before an important hearing. Then he billed me for the time he spent withdrawing my case.
He will double bill, seek out continuances to prolong litigation, demand more money with a threat of withdrawal. I ended up paying another attorney similar fees and getting better representation.

I had the pleasure of being represented by Ms. Nicole Kuenstle during a perilous time in 2018. She worked diligently with my family through a tight budget, multiple challenges within my case and stood by my side against the corrupted state organization of CPS when they attempted to take advantage of my family. She was present, she was prepared & she was ready to take them head on. Nicole is honest, knowledgeable, encouraging, & fierce. She did not treat my family like dollar signs but was proffesional and personable through the entire process. I never doubted her ability to handle our situation because of her availability- she made sure to be responsive even when our case was closed! I go to her for questions frequently & she is always willing to help. I would reccomend her a thousand times over, as she saved my family BIG TIME. Her knowledge, price and attitude are unbeatable. Dont question whether shes a good lawyer or not, just give her the opportunity!

Ms. Kuenstle did a fantastic job on my case. I was so pleased with the outcome and her attention to detail. I couldn't have asked for better representation during one of the worse phases of my life. Ms. Kuenstle was very determined to get the best results possibly for me.

Nicole Kuenstle @ Connolly & Shireman made the process so easy. Everything was explained in details with the full extent of delivering the results. I am pleased with the professionalism that was delivered from Nicole and would definitely recommend this law office.

Bill Connolly and Les Shireman offer the kind of intelligent and mindful attention to a client's needs for which we all yearn. You will be satisfied with their professionalism and attention to your situation and challenges.

Bill Connolly is one of the absolute best family law attorneys with whom I've dealt in my career. I've referred many clients of mine to him, and he has always handled them with expertise and care. He is Board Certified in three family-law related areas by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, which is almost unheard of. With his many years of experience comes a practical knowledge of the law and what works. I give him my highest rating as a lawyer and a person.

I think it is highly important to have a lawyer, but it needs to be a lawyer you admire and trust as a human being, in my judgment. It needs to be someone who is sensible, has sound judgment, and makes you want to tell everything you know in her or his ear. I want my lawyer to be smart and also self-knowing and also concerned about the values of equality, rule-of-law, freedom, and fairness. I want my lawyer to consider the details of my situation.

That's what you get at Connolly and Shireman. You can count on it.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Forced me to pay $350 for a consult I didn't need. We then spent the "consult" time drafting my document together, with the attorney, Les Shireman, committing to deliver a draft quickly thereafter. He then emailed me shortly after the consult saying he didn't have time to work on it and to find someone else. I was left with nothing and had to start over with another attorney. SCAM!

I have recommended Les Shireman to several of my friends. He helped me through two of the most difficult years of my life and really looked out for my best interests and helped me look out for my children as well. He was always very patient and a true advocate for me. I can't thank him enough for all of his counsel. I have him on speed dial now in case anything new comes up and know that no matter when I call he will make time for me and truly knows the ins and outs of my case as if I was his only client.

One of the best law firms in Houston! I couldn't have asked for a better advocate for myself and my children. Les Shireman was straight forward and held my hand throughout the entire process, he was always available and I never felt alone. I have recommended his services to several of my friends because I trust that they are in the best hands possible!!

Undoubtedly one of the top family lawyers in Texas. He is honest and excellent at what he does!
