Posted by Lyn | December 20, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Family

Excellent, Knowledgeable Attorney

Ms. Shellberg is an exceptionally skilled attorney with incredibly good people skills. We hired her to manage our immigration petition and she was not only wonderfully reassuring throughout the entire process and answered all of our many questions and concerns, but she was also impressively successfu...l in achieving all of our goals. Ms. Shellberg was also hired by us for a family matter and she performed expertly throughout the lengthy process and was once again ultimately successful. She is knowledgable, resourceful and frequently thinks outside the box. She is a pleasure to work with and goes above and beyond to make her clients feel secure and well cared for. Ms. Shellberg is an incredibly skilled writer and prepares accurate and consise documents with great skill. Additionally, she conducts herself very professionally and appropriately in the courtroom environment. I can not possibly praise her skills as an attorney enough, and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone requiring her services.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"As an attorney, if I ever find myself in need of assistance with an immigration law matter, Leah Shellberg would be one of my first calls. Having attended law school with Leah, I've come to know her as an effective and thorough advocate, and a careful legal practitioner. One of the many qualities that I admire about Leah is her ability to aggressively pursue a position without sacrificing her reputation for professionalism. Without question, these qualities have helped Leah establish herself as a standout immigration attorney in the Greensboro area, and I’m proud to endorse her practice."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
