Attorney Romell was very personable, knowledgeable, compassionate, a good communicator and easy to work with. She made my divorce process more tolerable and kept me informed throughout the process.

After all of the divorce dust has settled, I can't imagine having gone through this process without Sheila Romell. She provided me with excellent guidance and representation, and was always there to be my voice of reason amidst all of the emotions that often times occur during the divorce process. I am 100% certain that I faired better in this process having hired Sheila to represent me! The property division laws in Wisconsin can be unfair compared to some "at fault" states, in my opinion, and I truly believe Sheila protected me and my assets from an unfair or disproportionate division. Some attorneys will stir the pot, or willingly fight over things, it seems. Not Sheila! On countless occasions, she reminded me that the "things" I wanted weren't always worth the cost of going after them, which I appreciated. Her goal always seemed to be the protection of my best interests, vs unnecessarily bantering with the opposing counsel in order to drive up a bill. That isn't to say that Sheila isn't a well respected attorney, or a fighter, if need be! She seemed to be very well known, and carried herself incredibly well. Going into my "surprise" divorce, I was wondering how I could afford the legal fees, and whether I would come out in one piece. After the dust has settled, I now know that I couldn't afford NOT to hire Sheila, and am incredibly happy that I did! I have nothing but good things to say about my representation by Sheila Romell. You hire an attorney for protection, amongst other things. I felt like a lamb going against a wolf in my divorce. Sheila was my protective lion, though, and I will recommend her at every opportunity! A truly wonderful attorney!!! Thank you so much, Sheila!

Sheila was an excellent attorney to have by my side regarding my child relocating. From the first time I met with her she was very respectful, understanding and willing to help. The skills she has amazed me. Sheila was well prepared in the court room with organized paperwork and thoroughly explained everything to me step by step beforehand. She was outstandingly punctual. Her communications skills were superior between emailing and phone calls assuring that I stayed aware of everything going on. She makes sure her clients are prioritized no matter what, which I was very gracious for. Also, not to mention she is very well respected. Thank you for everything Sheila you and your amazing staff have been a pleasure to work with. Will rehire if needed.

I cannot praise Sheila enough! Her experience, expertise, and passion are palpable in every interaction. She was such a wonderful guide, counsel, and confidante throughout our entire case. She was great about explaining the process and managing expectations. She was also very conscientious about communication. She would promptly respond to our many questions and requests for explanations. Her impassioned, personal interest in representing us, combined with her unfailing professionalism, inspired our absolute confidence. This conference proved to be entirely justified. We are eternally grateful to Sheila for her advocacy on behalf of our family. No one could have done it better.

Sheila is the best in the business and I couldn't have had a better attorney representing me during my struggle to gain equal time and rights with my little girl! She is extremely driven to achieve goals set forth and is one of the most ethical attorney's out there!

I can not say enough great things about Sheila. She is very knowledgeable and helpful. She helped me tremendously with my situation and did so in a timely manner with prompt communication. She has also helped other people whom I know and they have all been over the top satisfied. I would HIGHLY recommend Sheila to anyone who needs legal help.

Sheila has represented me since 2009. I had many questions and fears. She walked me through my divorce process from start to finish not only as a client but as a friend. Even to this day if I need her she is still just as helpful and caring.

Sheila was recommended to me as a top Attorney when I needed one for my divorce. This was a very scary time for me and I had never hired an Attorney for any needs in the past. I called Sheila for an initial consultation and I knew from that conversation on that I had met the best Attorney possible. Sheila is not only what you would expect in a professional but her level of knowledge, support offered, effectiveness in and outside of the courtroom and care taking of her clients makes it completely understandable as to why she is deemed a "Super Lawyer". Sheila appropriately fights for her clients and really understands their needs long before a case goes to trial. Those who she opposes know that immediately and have to prepare well in order to stand and support the other side. In regards to family law, Sheila is my go to Attorney for all questions. If I need to hire her again in the future I would be extremely blessed to have her representation and care.

This was quite possibly the toughest time I've gone through & Sheila was there for me all the way, clearly letting me know my next step. She took the pressure off during such a difficult time. I'm certain I could not have found better representation or a better a outcome thanks to her help.

Sheila is fair, smart, and really knows her stuff. She helped me through a painful divorce by looking out for my best interests when I couldn't. Her office is in a convenient location with plenty of free parking. I have recommended her many times. One never wants to have to hire a divorce lawyer, but if you must, Sheila is the one!

I was so fortunate I found Sheila on Avvo! I went in for a consultation and knew right away I wanted to hire her to represent me. She handled everything professionally and efficiently. Even though it was a difficult case with my ex-wife, Sheila was well prepared and did an incredible job in court. She kept me informed of the process and told me all I needed to do. I highly recommend Attorney Sheila Romell.

I had no idea what to expect out of the legal process regarding custody and placement. Sheila explained everything in detail and always took all my calls/questions quickly. Her assistants were always very professional and courteous. She is very meticulous in her work and always kept me up to date on what was going on. I had heard horror stories on attorneys wasting your time to get more money, but she was opposite. Detailed, thorough and to the point. She has a wonderful reputation and there is a reason for that. The only thing I would have changed was my constant calling her to verify this or that was done. She assured me multiple times of the steps/process. I would not hesitate to call her for anything in the future regarding this. She also sends copies of any correspondence so you have documentation. I have referred her to multiple people and will continue to do so.

A few years back I was caught in a horrible divorce. I hired Attorney Rommel and was very happy with the results. Attorney Rommel was compassionate, professional and fair. I would not hesitate to hire her again for my legal needs. I would recommend her to family and friends that are looking for a family law attorney. Thank you Attorney Rommel for all of your hard work and dedication on my case.

I hired Sheila 10 years ago on a referral from a coworker. Best phone call I could have made! At a time when I felt the most exposed and vulnerable with my children, Sheila was a there to stand between me and the greatest threat I have faced in my lifetime. It's been a long tiring road and Sheila has never let me down. I have the utmost respect for her expertise and talents. She is tough as nails -FEARLESS - and an expert at negotiating with unreasonable individuals. She has so much experience and insight, she has the respect of her colleagues and judges, she is m-e-t-i-c-u-l-o-u-s-l-y organized, she gives solid advice, she's fair and painfully honest. I trust her judgement. I'm so glad I called her. She's made this horrible experience as tolerable as possible - it's gut wrenching any way you look at it, but knowing that she's there for me and my children makes it much less frightening. I feel safe having her on my team. I highly recommend her.

I can't say enough good things about Sheila, not only as a person but especially as an attorney! As long as you are straight forward and honest with her she will get you the best results of ANY attorney in Milwaukee and Waukesha County... I have had her represent me several times as my "ex" likes to take me back to court and Sheila is undefeated!! She carries the respect of her peers, Court Commissioners and the Judges.

I was referred to Sheila by a friend knowing that my divorce was not going to be easy. Sheila has helped me in every way possible to focus and stay to the point. She went beyond the call of duty to explain the process. Her expertise and impact in court made a huge difference. Her success helped me get my life back. I definitely recommended her to many of my friends in need. Many thanks, Sheila!

Attorney Romell has represented me since 2005 for a divorce with minor children, continual unpaid medical expenses and variables, family court appearances, and for any advice I've needed over the past decade. She is straight to the point, and willing to strategize with you. Her long standing career in Family Law has proven to me numerous times that I can fully trust her to represent my case. She has 2 assistants who are always available during regular business hours. They are organized, willing to help field my calls and questions, and very pleasant on the phone. Attorney Romell and I were always prepared for court appearances or phone negotiations. Truthfully, she is busy but very thorough. I have never been let down by her representation, and I highly recommend her.

I have worked with Sheila several times over the past 10 years and I am completely satisfied with her professionalism and efficiently. Due to my son’s father, my court case seems never ending, he fight’s me every step of the way for every little thing. I can honestly say that Sheila has made that a lot easier for me to have to deal with. I had previously hired a different attorney from a big law firm and after going through thousands and thousands of dollars and getting nowhere, I made the decision to switch and go with Sheila. I wish I had done my research from the very beginning; I could have saved myself a lot of money not to mention aggravation! Shelia is the best; she is professional, efficient and pleasant to deal with. I have noticed over the course of my case that other attorneys, judges, court commissioners etc. have a lot of respect for her and she is very well liked. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know or encounter needing an attorney who deals with Family law.

I hired Sheila from a stellar recommendation. Knowing that my divorce was not going to be easy, sheila has helped in every way possible to stay on course and help me get my life back. I have handed her card out to many friends, and have had nothing but positive feedback. Really like how respected and known Sheila is in the courts, this is important to me.

Sheila has been my lawyer for the past 7 1/2 years. She handled my divorce as well as several post-divorce matters that arose in the last several years. Sheila not only knows family law inside and out, but she has good relationships with court personnel and has built up a lot of credibility during her career, all of which makes her an outstanding lawyer. Sheila is also very accessible. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing an excellent family law attorney.
