Justice and Understanding Delivered!

I truly appreciate Mrs. Guy-Reynolds for taking the time to listen and guide me through my situation with understanding and professionalism. What could have easily been misunderstood as something more serious was handled with clarity and care. Because of her attention to detail and sound legal judgme...nt, my case was rightfully resolved — No Prosecution. I highly recommend!

Family/DV Injunction

Attorney Shelly handled my complicated case with precise details and took great effort to discover the relevant facts, which led to the best possible outcome within short time. I would definitely recommend Shelley for anyone looking for representation dealing with family/DV/injunction related matters....

Knows What She's Doing

Got my case dismissed in under 3 weeks. Easy to talk to and get a hold of. Entered a plea of "not guilty", talked with the DA, and that was it!

Shelley was there for us when we needed her!

Shelley represented my family member in an injunction hearing. She was very nice and personable. She made my relative feel comfortable and gave her great life advice in addition to great legal counsel. I would highly recommend Mrs. Reynolds to anyone facing a similar situation. She is wonderful!...

Fantastic attorney

We used Shelley Reynolds for a legal matter and were extremely impressed. Shelley was very professional, very responsive, kept us informed through the entire process and was very pleasant to work with. We interviewed several attorneys are ultimately went with Shelley. When others stated their ...skepticism for a successful resolution, Shelley was excited for our case and was successful in winning our case. We highly recommend Shelley for your legal needs.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've known Shelley since law school. We were in the same class. Shelley is striking because she has a freak of nature genius IQ, yet doesn't walk around acting like Rainman - she can still connect well with people from all walks of life, and this has proven critically important. Shelley and I have worked together on several cases, and she is absolutely Tier I - incredible skill set intellectually while maintaining an exceptional degree of people skill. To use a sports metaphor, Shelley is an "impact player" - a coach in the NFL may not have a spot for such a player on the roster, but she is so outstanding, you find a place. Now imagine her on a legal team. That's Shelley: simply outstanding."
