When my life goals changed to simply being able to protecting my children, being & feeling safe, and seeking happiness I knew it was time for legal assistance. But who was the right attorney for me? There are so many! Commercials, facebook, review sites like this one - totally overwhelming. I’ve always relied on word of mouth to find the very best of professionals to help me with anything complex that I could not do by myself. So I began asking around, “who will care as much about my children’s situation as I do”, “who will I feel safe and comfortable sharing very personal matters?”, “who is the BEST Divorce Attorney in Connecticut?” The constant and consistent answer was “Richard Sheeley”. I heard so many good things, that I immediately made an appointment with him. No nonsense, develops an action plan, executes the plan flawlessly, all while making you feel like you’re a member of his family that he is advocating for. Hire him. You will not regret it!
After my initial consultation call with Attorney Sheeley, I was certain about hiring him as my counsel for several important reasons: he was determined to help in receiving my equitable share from my marriage (the other three lawyers I consulted indicated to me that due to the rather brief nature of my marriage of three years, I should not seek alimony support, etc), he was empathetic to my position as a mother and his experience about the litigation process. Throughout the process, he was easily accessible, compassionate when I was unsure (he talked me down from several moments of panic to keep me on track) and he and his staff answered any questions/concerns that came up promptly. When trial came, I felt prepared and was impressed by his organization and plan of action for presenting my case to the judge. In the courtroom, he was confident and articulate all culminating in a judgement has left my daughter and myself in a comfortable position to begin our next chapter in life.
Attorney Richard S Sheeley is a Godsend! No one gets married, thinking about a divorce attorney, but when you need one, you deserve the best, and that is exactly what Richard Sheeley is - THE BEST! Knowledgeable, compassionate, dedicated, strong, and attentive are just few of the words that describe Richard Sheeley. If you need a divorce attorney, you need the right attorney in your corner. Do yourself a favor and hire Richard Sheeley!
From the first consultation I knew I could trust Attorney Sheeley. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable and above all very compassionate. He’s organized and on top of his cases. He took the time to make sure I understood where we were in the process. Most importantly he really listened to what I had to say. He helped me work through the issues I was facing. I felt comfortable and I was confident he had my best interest in mind. What really amazed me was watching him in action! I was in awe! He did an incredible job! It could not have gone better! I highly, highly recommend retaining Attorney Sheeley, you won’t regret it!
I thought Atty. R. SHEELY was terrific!!:) First and only attorney ever hired. VERY COMPASSIONATE, VERY PATIENT, VERY CALMING, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. EXPLAINED THINGS WELL, IN "LAYMANS TERMS". EASY TO FOLLOW AND UNDERSTAND. WON THE CASE HANDS DOWN!!:) I THINK HE WAS THE BEST AND THEN SOME. A+++++ I DO NOT THINK YOU CAN GO WRONG WITH RICHARD. ALL LAWYERS ARE EXPENSIVE, AND HE WAS NO EXCEPTION.....BUT I THINK THE PRICE WAS FAIR. I EVEN ENJOYED WATCHING "HIM IN ACTION". WHAT A SHARK!! BNF
The implementation of routine matters and procedures were extended months beyond the initial estimates, with no valid reason for not starting. The extra costs were extensive. The advise given appeared to be more in line with ultimately just settling the case instead of being representative of my wishes.
Horrible lawyer. Sells you the dream in your consult, steals your money then he practically loses your case.
Atty Sheeley was not aggressive enough in pursuing my custody case. He kept saying “we are in for the long term” which allowed him the charge over $80,000 in fees with absolutely no benefits. Once I pushed back and told him I wanted action and would not go along with GAL recommendations which were not in my beat interest, he dropped then charged me fees to file his request for dismissal. DO NOT HIE
