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.

Areas of special experience and expertise include Corporate/LLC & Other Business Organizations, Construction, Buying and Selling of Businesses, Real Estate (including Foreclosures), Contracts, Debtor/Creditor, Business Torts, Representation of Registered Professionals, Probate-Probate Avoidance and Probate Litigation.. I am proud of Arizona, its history, and its past development and am excited about Arizona’s future, its future growth and development, and its business opportunities. A fourth generation Arizonan on both paternal and maternal ancestral lines, I was born in Mesa in 1951, and raised in Phoenix, graduating from Cortez (Phoenix) High School and Arizona State University. Obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting (cum laude, ASU 1975), I was anxious to develop additional skills to represent and advise the owners of small and closely-held businesses. I attended Brigham Young University Law School, graduating with honors (cum laude 1978). While at Law School, I served on the Board of Editors of the prestigious BYU Law Review from 1976-78.

I grew up in Payson, Arizona and have made the Phoenix area my home since 2000. I attended the University of Arizona where I studied and received a B.S. degree in Animal Sciences in 1993, and was named Outstanding Senior by the Department of Animal Sciences.. After receiving my undergraduate degree, I studied both ruminant nutrition and reproductive physiology at the graduate level before leaving the University to work as a herdsman on dairies in Arizona and Hawaii. In 1997 I enrolled in law school at the University of Arizona. I excelled academically in law school, finishing 15th in my class and being selected to the Arizona Law Review, where I served as an Articles Editor.. Upon graduation from law school in 2000, I began work as a litigation associate at Lewis and Roca, LLP in Phoenix. In 2004 I left Lewis and Roca, LLP to form my own firm. My goal then was to provide cost-effective legal representation to businesses and individuals combined with a level of hands-on service that is not always possible at larger firms. That remains my goal today.. Throughout the years, including while I have been actively practicing law, I have also worked for and managed construction and agricultural businesses. As a result, I have exceptional knowledge of both the construction and agricultural communities at a "ground" level. This experience and knowledge provides me with an advantage in dealing with construction and agricultural law issues.. In addition, my scientific background sets me apart from most attorneys in both my basic thinking model as well as my approach in all areas of representation.
