Excellent Service!!!
I had a situation arise and needed to find a lawyer quickly. I got a few recommendations while searching online. I received a call from Ann and we discussed my issue. She seemed very confident that she could help and that the process would not be too painful. I made an appointment to meet her. Ann was extremely nice, knowledgeable and was confident of the outcome. I hired her as my attorney instantly and it seems I made the right choice. Everything she told me that was likely to happen did. She stayed on top of everything the whole time the case went on. She made me feel at ease as I was pretty nervous about the whole court case. I cannot thank Ann enough for her services. Ann's paralegal Doreen, was wonderful as well. I highly recommend!!!!!!!!

Ann S Sheeley
Ann S Sheeley was the attorney I choose to help me with a dog bite. I work as a postal worker and got bit on two different places of my body. She not only helped as a lawyer and the legal side of things, but also to make it less awkward feeling, like a friend. It’s a strange situation to be in and navigate through so hiring the proper person to help with circumstances that you can’t control happening to you are very crucial. Ann made me feel very comfortable about the decision I was making. If I ever needed any advice on legal matters I wouldn’t hesitate to call her again.

Personal injury
I hired her to represent me in my previous incident. I fell really hard, lost consciousness, needed physical therapy, maybe need surgery in the future as well. The place where I fell should be ashamed and take the time to make sure they’re more aware of safety protocols. I would definitely recommend Ann Sheeley, she is wonderful and gets the job done.

Fast, Thorough, and Reasonable
Attorney Sheeley handled a legal matter for me quickly and easily, for a reasonable fee. Further, she communicated regularly and took my initial call on a Saturday, and explained my options thoroughly. Highly recommend.

My workers compensation case
I walked into Ann Shelley's office hopelessly after being deceived by a previous law firm that was initially in charge of my case. Ann accepted my case and promised me that she will do anything in her power get me the most reasonable result for my pain and suffering. She was diligent in her work, she maintained an open lined of communication throughout the entire case. She was punctual at every session and court hearing, she kept a clean record of all medical bills, and made sure I was not liable for any outstanding medical payments. Ann was able to get me a lump sum settlement in a reasonable time frame. Should anyone need legal counsel for any type of personal injury or if you feel that your case is not being handled properly, please call the office of ANN Shelley in Newport for consult. Her secretary and answering service are the most welcoming and cordial as they can be, and you will in touch with Ann in no time. ANN, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!

DUI Firat Offense
Ann was the absolute best attorney I could have chosen to represent me. She is kind, personable, and dedicated to her clients. Ann answered all of questions, and always returned by calls in a timely manner. Ann worked hard to plea my case, and made sure I received only minimal penalties for my case. She stood by me through the whole process, and made sure I understood the court process. Her service was impeccable and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Fantastic Attorney
I contacted Ann about expunging a criminal charge from my record. She was very informative, responsive and supportive from our initial consultation all the way to the actual hearing. I am so happy I chose Ann to represent me in this matter. She always returned my calls and emails promptly, answered all my questions thoroughly and made me feel like a valued client. I would highly recommend her - she's a fantastic attorney!

Responsive Attorney
Being on vacation and in a serious accident on a bridge was difficult. We called Ann and she came to us at our vacation condo as we were hurt. She was easy to work with and was so helpful as we live in another state. She was informative, helpful and honest. She always returned calls promptly. I would recommend her to others.

Great attorney!
I had a slip and fall claim that Ann filed on my behalf. She was a pleasure to work with! Although the process was a little long, the result was great! She got the maximum amount allowed for my suit which exceeded my expectations! Would definitely recommend her!

Exceptional Experience
Never ever been to a lawyer and was worried to see one. My experience with Anne made me feel worry free. Anne Sheeley is someone who you can TRUST and is very clear and upfront about everything. She CARESto listen to your entire story, does not cut you off like most lawyers I contacted did to me, and will give you her words of wisdom, her time, and her undivided attention. She is HONEST, she will tell you exactly upfront what she will charge for her service, and she will give you real honest and personable advice as to what you should do to maximize your chance of winning your case. She will go as far as to contact her resources for you to get more information as to what can help you in your situation. I would highly recommend Anne for a lawyer as she has INTEGRITY and actually CARES to help! Anne did not even charge me anything for over an hour of her time consultation and helping me by making calls for me. Highly recommend Anne if you are looking for someone with great experience and who is honest.
