Performance Review

Karen did a great job with my case and helped guide me every step of way during the process. She had great communication with me while my case was being resolved and she was able to get 3 or of my 4 charges dropped. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal help.

Above and beyond the call of duty!

I hired Karen for a family member and I simply cant say enough good things about her. I honestly didn't know what I was going to do, the going rate to have legal representation for this case was in and of itself overwhelming. A friend of mine recommended Karen. I am so freaking thankful!! Seriously ...she immediately was in solution solving mode by the end of our first phone call. Alleviating that helpless feeling by letting me work out a payment plan, and going straight into action on our behalf. She is extremely detailed, very responsive & informative. She is exactly the very definition of who you want by your side in a courtroom. She doesn't back down from a challenge and her dedication will quickly put your mind at ease.

I enjoyed working with you so much. The prosecutors tried their hardest to keep him in jail! It was disgusting. However, with your support and my experience we fought the good fight. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you.

Excellent reading for an excellent lawyer

Driving to Colorado for the holidays I never thought I would leave with a citation. I live in California and did not want to have to return for a court date, paying high airfare and especially during Covid. I had so much anxiety and Karen put my fears to rest. She handled everything while keeping me ...updated throughout the process. She also worked very well with the court officials in Colorado which helped to expedite the process and eventually lead to a dismissal of the charges leaving my record squeaky clean. Writing this review is the least I can do to express my gratitude.

Thank you Robert! I had fun getting to know you and hearing about the vacation that went a little bit wrong. Glad we were able to help you - Karen.

Poor excuse for a lawyer

This person was assigned to my sons case and all she gives is attitude when you try to contact her. She hasn't even gone to see him and He has a court date soon. If you've been assigned this lawyer get rid of her and get a real lawyer.

Reliability is key

I would absolutely recommend Ms. Shelley. She's so responsive, keeps me informed, is trustworthy, knows her stuff or can find out, and she actually cares.
