Thank you

I only consulted with Shelley, but she had so many insightful suggestions. I may hire her.

Posted by Amber | May 07, 2010 | Divorce & Separation

You cannot put a price on confidence and dedication

Shelley helped me to find the strength and confidence necessary to complete the divorce process. Her professionalism and knowledge was outstanding. Her courtroom manner was confident, informed, and respectful. She was always prepared, responses were done in a timely manner, her attitude positive, her... ability to strive for what was fair and just was exceptional. I always knew that I was advocating for my child with the knowledge of the law behind me. You cannot put a dollar amount on a person when they offer the kind of support and experience she did at such a vulnerable time in a persons life. Divorce is not what anyone hopes to endure, but if you are in that situation, then Shelley Torvinen is the lawyer I would reccommmed to anyone. I survived a year and a half long divorce, and can thank Shelley for givinge me peace as I start my new journey.

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.
