Sharese Shields is known as a ‘committed advocate right by your side’, offering personalized attention to clients who often feel overwhelmed by large institutions like school districts and insurance companies.

Downtown Headquarters

The firm is located at 235 Peachtree St NE, Suite 400. This address corresponds to the Peachtree Center North Tower, a major office building in the heart of Downtown Atlanta. Sharing the same prestigious complex as other top firms, The Shields Law Firm is situated at the epicenter of the city’s legal and business activity.

Visiting the Firm

Clients visiting Suite 400 will experience the convenience and professionalism of Peachtree Center. The North Tower features a bustling lobby connected to the rest of the complex via skywalks. Visitors must check in at the security desk before taking the elevators to the 4th floor. The office provides a private environment for consultations, crucial for sensitive matters involving minors or criminal charges.

Parking Convenience

Parking is easy thanks to the Peachtree Center Parking Garage. Clients can park and walk through the covered skybridge directly to the North Tower, making it a safe and weather-proof arrival. There are also numerous surface lots in the surrounding blocks for those who prefer street-level parking.

Direct Transit Access

The office is incredibly accessible via public transit. The Peachtree Center MARTA Station is located directly beneath the complex. Clients can exit the train and take the escalator up to the plaza level, arriving at the office without ever crossing a street. This is particularly helpful for parents and students who may rely on public transport.

A Commitment to Access

The firm works hard to keep rates competitive and offers flexible hours, including evening and weekend appointments by request, to accommodate working parents.
