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.

Highly Recommended, Very Helpful, Very Kind

I went to the lawyer's office in person, I come from a different state. Lawyer is very patient, polite, respectful and very knowledgeable. Very known person in Pensacola, good connections with PD & Court. Immediately resolved my case, provided me with a copy from Court for the withdrawal with in a we...ek. She is always available either by phone, email, message. She is very reasonable, kind heart'ed, understands the problems very well. Gives ample time to understand us as a person, our problems, concerns. Mrs. Shelley is very attentive to the details, immediately starts working in front of you. Her interest and passion towards her work is very evident. I have never seen a kind heart'ed person like Mrs. Shelley. I am very thankful to her for all her support. I highly recommend this lawyer.

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."

  • 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.
