Eileen is the best! She has gone out of her way for my grandson and my son's case. Prior to taking my case, Eileen spent hours talking to me, she even took the time to go over all my evidence and she went as far as contacting people regarding my son's case. After retaining her months later, she has been awesome. She is very intelligent and knows the laws, inside and out. She is on top of her game, a Lil firecracker! She's always kept us informed of everything, and has told us what to do and not to do. Eileen is a blessing and I would recommend her to anyone, and everyone.

I STRONGLY recommend Eileen Scheff to anyone facing a Family Law case. During one of the most devastating periods in my life, Ms. Scheff demonstrated the unique ability of blending professionalism with compassion from day one. Her supreme knowledge of family law coupled with the empathy shown towards my case not only continues to amaze me, but impressed our then opponent, my ex-husband as well. My ex-husband has recommended Ms. Scheff’s legal services to his associates. Ms. Scheff’s rates are fair and reasonable. Thank You Eileen!

Eileen did and excellent job securing more visitation, holidays, and other miscellaneous items, for our son. In addition, she assisted in our step parent adoption. Her experience and dedication to our family has surpassed our highest expectations. Our family highly recommends her without any reservations!

Being a father awarded physical custody of my daughters, my ex-wife filed a "change in custody" motion AGAIN (her 2nd in 3 yrs), once again making numerous and completely false allegations against my character, my wife and our proven parenting skills. Eileen was nothing short of spectacular in representing me and my family. Having gone through the Wayne County Family Courts system, I have learned first-hand how difficult it is for a Father to be given equal consideration in the process. I have to say that Eileen's professionalism, compassion and willingness to act on my behalf was, in my opinion, the deciding factor in preventing the Judge from being taken in by my ex-wife's "emotions on demand" and the smoke-screen she tried to create in order to fool the Judge and sway her decision. I would STRONGLY recommend Eileen Scheff to anyone needing legal representation in family law situations.

Eileen represented me in a Family Law case and I must say she blew me away. She is so well prepared, knowledgeable and responsive. Regardless of how many questions I asked, she answered them honestly and never got irritated. She is realistic with her clients' outcomes and doesn't sell you a dream. She knows the climate of the courts and the judges and can advise based on that knowledge. When we were preparing for court she explained everything to me and how she was going to proceed. She followed through on everything that she said she would do, and did so with the utmost poise and professionalism. I could go on and on, but let me just say that you won't be disappointed if you hire Eileen. She really knows her stuff!
