A divorce assasin indeed

Kevin exceeded my expectations from the word go. He was always there to listen to my concerns, and answer my questions, and above all, represent my best interests, even when I was unsure of the path we were taking. He could see the big picture in ways that were difficult to fathom in the midst of t...he 18 month divorce disaster. My ex-wife's midlife crisis ended up costing her far more than even she considered. At the end, Kevin handed me every SINGLE THING I asked for in the divorce, and several things I didn't. My ex's lawyer didn't see several of Kevin's strategies coming and we surprised them several times in court. It was fantastic watching them unable to figure out what to do. Kevin gave me a shot at a life and a relationship with my children I couldn't have imagined at the beginning of the divorce. I have referred him to several of my friends, and he represented me in a post matrimonial matter, to swift resolve, also exactly what I was looking for. Kevin is professional, and did everything I asked him to. I would not hesitate to recommend him to another person, and I would not hesitate to retain him again in the future, should the need arise.

an attorney who did what he promised

kevin shelby was my third atty. for my divorce. two previous atty's either didn't show up ( sent associate) or said one thing then never delivered or had excuse's. kevin sat with me , reviewed everything and formed an outline for me. Any time i had a question he was a phone call or text away, even o...n weekends or evenings, can't say that for either of previous atty's. kevin get's it done.

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.
