CAKE WALK!!

My wife hired Kevin Shelby and when I met him for the first time, he served me divorce papers in Family Court. He was a nice guy but I had a lot of fun watching the man be nervous and illprepared. The man had a hard time getting basic information out of my wife in our first meeting and I think I foun...d enough kinks in his armor to really give him and my wife fits. I can't wait to see him again. My wife is going to have a lot of finanical heartache paying for his services. He may be a good divorce lawyer or mediator for some people but I'm thrilled he's on the other side of the courtroom representing my wife. Watching him trying to pick up the pieces of my wife's midlife crisis will bring me nothing but joy!!!

opposite of what was promised

No advocacy whatsoever. Felt like he was working for the other side. No invoices, errors is billing, caught him in lies, mainly when he forgot what he previously told me or when ill prepared for court. Everyone who asked me who my attorney was grimaced when they heard his name.

Hire Kevin Shelby for your Divorce/Separation !!

Kevin worked with me and listened to my concerns and my ideas. He did not sugar coat anything or tell me one thing and go and do another. He didn't drop the ball or forget to do anything that he said he would do or was required by the Court to do. He personally met with me on many occasions or agreed... to meet with me if I had requested to go over my concerns or strategy (ies). He was very responsive and will even text message which is how we would sometimes communicate. Good with emails (within 24 hours). He also helped keep me calm in front the adversaries. Didn't get me too involved in any of the nuances or back and forth of negotiating with the adversary. Giving money to my ex was not going to be an easy or happy moment, but I was satisfied with the outcome and how it was structured. We didn't use the Court/courtroom itself to resolve our issues and were able to get it settled fairly quickly (within about 7 months) from actual start date with the court system. For what I gave up ($$$), I was very happy with what I obtained/kept. Reasonable retainer.

Divorce Assassin!

Divorce is seldom if ever pleasant. Mr. Shelby secured my needs in a professional and timely manner. I highly recommend him to settle any family matter.
