Posted by anonymous | January 16, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Professional, Sharp & Analytical

Mr. Blackwell Shelley is an amazing lawyer. He represented my case a few months back and he made me feel so confident when I spoke to him the first time. He is very knowledgeable and very clear on all the facts. He was very quick to get a grasp on the case, although it wasnt a very traditional one. ... He always kept me updated . Also his fees/hours were very reasonable . He was able to get the case totally dismissed and I really appreciate his effort and intelligent approach.

Business owner - retail and communications

I've worked with Black in two very different industries. In both cases, he saved me money by helping me avoid lawsuits. Prior to taking his advice, my own pigheadedness got me involved in litigation and mediation but each time Black won our case and lowered my exposure. My advice is to listen to ...him at the beginning so you won't have use his expertise in a courtroom.
