Personal Injury & Wrongful Death Attorney.

Pain is inevitable; misery is optional. That is the philosophy that governs Mark Shields’ approach to legal problems, particularly in family law. While many legal issues deal with contracts, bills or dented fenders, a family law situation is thicker because it deals directly with people. What’s more, those people comprise the family, which Mark believes to be the fundamental unit of society. Because a family law issue is so important and so personal, it should be handled by someone who understands humans and someone who cares. Mark believes that being down to earth and an honest, approachable guy is just as important in the practice of law as it is in life in general.. Mark Shields has been married for over seventeen years and is the proud father of five daughters. He is a native of Phoenix and has deep Arizona roots, going back four generations. He is also a third-generation Arizona lawyer. Mark graduated from Washington High School in Phoenix and graduated from Brigham Young University in 1993 with a degree in sociology. Before earning his bachelor’s degree, Mark also spent two years in Portugal as a missionary for his church and working with people of varied backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures. After working for a year or two while his wife finished up her degree, Mark entered the J. Reuben Clark Law School, where he graduated in 1997. Mark’s law school class was ranked seventh in the nation for average GPA and LSAT scores, so he was immediately initiated into a highly competitive environment.. Mark began with Gillespie, Shields & Durrant back when it was Gillespie & Associates in 1996, prior to his last year of law school. Since that time, Mark has practiced heavily in the area of family law and has also had extensive experience in civil litigation, employment law, juvenile law, and insurance disputes.. Mark is happy to report that his approach to practicing law has changed remarkably little during this recession because he has always sought to deliver true value to his clients. Whether the case involves millions of dollars or no dollars, Mark has consistently sought to provide his clients the best service for the most accessible price.. In his spare time, if there is such a thing, Mark enjoys spending time with his family (especially when it’s in the White Mountains), listening to fine music of many genres, building high quality stereo speakers, home improvement projects, and, more recently writing. Mark has published two religious books and hopes to publish more in the years to come. Mark speaks Portuguese and has also studied Spanish, German, and a few other languages through the years.

It has not always been my dream to become a lawyer. Rather, my passion for law developed over time. I knew I wanted a career where I had the opportunity to help families, which led me to initially pursue social work. As I pursued that career path, I realized I enjoyed attending court, and I wanted to be more involved with the families. I knew I wanted to do more.. I began my legal career as a paralegal in medical malpractice, but I had a strong desire to become a family law attorney. Throughout law school, I centered my curriculum around becoming a family law attorney, including completing an internship with a family law judge.. Divorce often receives a negative stigma, but that is not always the case. Many individuals and parents, including my own, were better people divorced than married. It is not necessarily divorce that causes family conflict or stress, rather it is how the parents handle divorce. From personal experience, I know conflict and strong emotions come with divorce, and if parents fail to handle this transition appropriately, the children can suffer in unpredictable ways. One of my goals is to help your family amicably transition through divorce and co-parent effectively.. Divorce can be the most difficult transition you go through, but the end goal is to reach the best possible outcome in a fair, honest, and respectful manner. During my internship with a family law judge, I learned, among many things, that family law issues can be complex. Whether it is an issue involving property division, spousal maintenance, child custody, or any other family law-related matter, I want to help.

I help people. Specifically, I help people recover from damages caused by other’s negligence. My typical client is you. Every year there are over 6 million car crashes with more than 40,000 fatalities linked to those accidents. In 2018, an estimated 4.5 million people were seriously injured in car crashes. I help the innocent victims of those crashes receive compensation for their injuries. Life is hard. Being injured complicates life. I take very seriously my role as an advocate for your rights.. I graduated Brigham Young University in 1983 (B.S., accounting) and the University of Arizona College of Law in 1991 (J.D.).. I was admitted to the State Bar of Arizona in 1991 and the State Bar of Colorado in 1994 (inactive). I am admitted to practice in the Arizona Supreme Court, the Colorado Supreme Court, the United States District Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the United States Supreme Court.. I am a member of the Arizona Association for Justice, Maricopa County Bar Association and West Valley Bar Association (past president).. I was born in Germany, grew up in Idaho, and moved to Arizona in 1983. I am married, have four children (Chase is my second) and a growing number of grandchildren.

I have a pragmatic and realistic approach toward law the practice of law.  Too often the law is used as a weapon and not as a tool.  I strongly believe that people can come through a divorce without having to have rolled in the mud. I earnestly seek to help the parties cooperate to achieve a better outcome than they would have otherwise have achieved through conflict alone.  However, there are times that it becomes necessary to stand up for what is right.  My clients are no one’s doormats. I believe that Fathers and Mothers have a right to be treated with respect and that through everything the children should come first.. --.
