    She helped me at two extremely difficult times in my life- the death of my husband and then my mother- to sort through probating their wills. I highly recommend her to anyone.

    “We wanted to make a point with a good law firm, and Bolton Law did just that.”
    Ruby Bolton and the Bolton law firm really showed up for the case my wife had against her ex-husband. From her first visit at consultation to picking up the final draft, she felt like she was in good hands. At the end of all this, my wife was able to get some relief and was able to put her ex in check. We got the passport docs, got it to make it mandatory to take the kids to all their sporting events on his weekend, and his child support was reinstated.

    I had an amazing experience working with Ben Sander and Kassandra Ramirez during my divorce process. They made everything clear and smooth from start to finish, always taking the time to explain each step and answer any questions I had. Both were extremely responsive and professional, and I always felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. I truly appreciate all their help.

    “Shaunte did so much more than other attorneys in such little time.”
    I still have another day of trial, but I have already seen Shaunte fight and stand her ground. I wish I would have found her sooner, she has so many strengths and she is the attorney you want on your case even when things seem hopeless, she finds a way to fight. She is not intimidated at all, she is very respectful and caring and in court she knows how to keep fighting for what is right !!! Thank you so much Shaunte. I will forever be grateful for your help.
