- Lawyers who are all ‘fire and brimstone I-was-born-a-pitbull-and-will-fight-for-you (for an appropriate fee!)’ are, in my experience, a dime-a-dozen (especially in DC), and often do more harm than good (polarizing/entrenching opposing sides)
- Shirley takes the opposite approach
- She’s extremely level-headed and calm, even in highly contentious situations.” After listening carefully to understand her client’s position, Shirley develops a strategy to achieve their goals
- She litigates aggressively when necessary and negotiates favorable settlements where appropriate, and throughout the case, explains complex concepts in an uncomplicated way to ensure clients understand what is happening
- Shirley has experience working at law firms of all sizes, from her own private practice to a large, 400+ attorney corporate law firm
