Went Above And Beyond

I had an issue with my mortgage and title not having my fiancé’s name in it. The mortgage company told me they would take care of things but didn’t. After contacting several lawyers, all gave me a long process and outrageous prices. Shelby does not usually take cases like this. But after hearing the ...difficulty I went through - he worked with me to not only get my fiancé’s name in the title but also helped me understand the process. Would recommend Shelby to anyone!

Professional and Courteous

Shelby Hart is very knowledgeable and friendly. He explained everything in the consultation meeting to us. Didn’t pressure me into signing a contract, told me to read through everything and take it home to think it over if needed. He didn’t know I have already did my own extensive research and very a...ppreciative of how courteous he was not to mention the retainer fee wasn’t as high as some other places. Throughout the entire adoption process, he kept us informed and updated on each step. I felt confident that I picked the right person for the task. I would recommend Shelby Hart to anyone that needs this service!

Out of state move

I was more than taken care of by this law firm. My attorney Shelby Hart believed in my case since day one. My situation was far from easy, I was trying to move out of state with my son to start a family with my husband. His father wanted to restrict me to the county I currently lived it. I was turned... away by another attorney because she said there was no way I had a chance. But when I called Shelby he was nothing but uplifting, positive, and honest about the risk and chances but was reassuring of my chance and possibilities. He never gave up and found all kinds of ways to make this happen for me. He was always keeping me informed and allowed me to make any and all final decisions. Ashley Leverett, his parallel was always so helpful and on top of everything. She was also very sympathetic with me and gave good advice as well has helped me along the way with getting all my documents together. Even down to billing and payments, Georgia was always pleasant to work with on arranging and making my payments as well as answering any questions I had. Shelby, Ashley, and I won the case and I am completely moved in with my husband, son and newest member on the way! We are so happy and grateful for all the help we got at Coker!

Still Googling!

Prior to contacting an attorney to help guide us in our child custody case, we were "googling" for answers. Unfortunately we received very little guidance from Shelby Hart and Coker Law Firm. We found ourselves still "googling" for answers after hiring them! We were also told from the beginning conve...rsation that their billing is "transparent". We did not receive a bill until approximately 24 days into the process and it was almost $10,000!! However, they billed my credit card over $11,000! We went into the Coker Law Firm office and met with Shelby Hart and Kelly Robb to discuss issues we had with the way some of the things on the case were handled. Although they seemed to understand some of our concerns, I received an email from Kelly Robb 4 days later in which she said she found nothing wrong with the hours billed and refused to compensate me. By the way, after all that money, the case is still not settled! We decided to hire a new attorney!

A lawyer’s duty to keep client confidences has few exceptions and in an abundance of caution I do not feel at liberty to respond in a point by point fashion in this forum.  Suffice it to say that I do not believe that the post presents a fair and accurate picture of the events.

Divorce Case

I hired Shelby Hart to complete my divorce following my case being dropped by ONDA law firm. Shelby proved to be very competent, diligent and knowledgeable. He was a pleasure to work with, and I have no hesitation in recommending him as a divorce lawyer.
