Posted by Jennifer Carpenter | November 22, 2011 | Divorce & Separation

Hard working, smart and fast!

I love this attorney, and here is why: 2 years after retaining a highly recommended Divorce attorney, I found myself SEVERAL thousand dollars poorer and no closer to a settlement or a divorce. I was completely deflated, in debt, trusting of no one, and confused. I reluctantly went to see Ms.... Shelby Outlaw. She listened patiently to my story, reassured me that I was right in the way I felt, and took it upon herself to take my case and get it settled as fast as she could. This woman went to work. She was my advocate, studied my case, knew the details in minute detail, and got my resolution in a matter of WEEKS, not months or years. She cared about me, and my well being, and I felt confident going into mediation knowing that she would make sure that I would get the best possible outcome. It does not stop there. After the settlement, I did not go onto the back burner. She answered all of my silly phone calls, emails, and answered all of my questions. She personally guided me through the process. If you are so wise as to retain Miss Shelby and her firm, please know up front, this woman knows what she is doing. Trust what she says, she is shrewd and will get you the best possible outcome. I am sure that this review does not adequately describe how great this firm is. I told her at the end of my case that I was thankful for my ex attorney, because if I had not gone through those 2 years of complete Hell, I would never have been able to completely appreciate what a hard working advocate she really was.

Avvo Rating

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.
