Best decision I have ever made for my family.

Mr. Shelby and his paralegal Rachel D, went above and beyond for me and my two children. From the beginning it was not about money , it was about the safety of my family . They both guided me , protected me, and walked me through every step. Our case was extremely tedious and took over a year, and bo...th individuals put in the hours and work to secure a positive outcome. We achieved our goals as a team, and we won our case. I could not be more grateful for having them by my side throughout the entire process. And I highly recommend them to any and everyone .

AMAZING Attorney

When I first contacted this firm, I was unsure. I was unsure on many things. I had a set of unique circumstances where I needed to seek a change for the safety of my son but due to something that is somewhat new territory. Shelby was upfront w/ me about both the positive & the negative possible outco...mes but let me tell you – Shelby (and Rachel) fought for us. There was NOT one moment in time that I felt ignored, dismissed or unimportant; Moreover, I have severe, high anxiety & rather than punish me for it, Shelby & Rachel were understanding, comforting, logical & proactive EVERY STEP of the way. It was like I showed up, threw everything I had on a table while being a sobbing mess – they looked at every piece, held my hand & told me it would be okay. The entire system is long & draining but when we got to our trial date, Shelby was ON FIRE. My faith in him never waivered but that day in court, when we were finally through, I could’ve flown. Shelby (of course w/ the help of his right hand, Rachel!) was absolutely in his element & he stood up for us in all the ways my spirit needed to protect my son. I have shed more tears than I will EVER admit during the entire process but even during my madness, Shelby & Rachel were kind, uplifting & our WARRIORS in the courtroom. When I did my phone set up for a consultation, I told them I needed someone aggressive. When you first talk with them, they are so sweet! You’ll think: okay, these are not aggressive or mean people – BUT when the time comes, you can bet your bottom dollar they GO TO WORK. I cannot thank Shelby & Rachel enough for the things they’ve helped my son & I with. They have kept my son SAFE!!!! There aren’t enough descriptive words in our vocabulary to accurately portray what they mean to me. If you want a damn good team – YOU WANT THEM. Thank you Shelby & Rachel! My son & I love yall!!

Divorce and Child Custody

I recently had the privilege of working with Shelby for my divorce and custody proceedings, and I am absolutely delighted with the exceptional level of support and expertise he provided. Throughout the entire process, Shelby demonstrated unwavering professionalism and dedication. Shelby listened a...ttentively to my concerns, fears, and wishes, ensuring that I felt heard and understood. He provided comprehensive guidance, addressing all my questions and explaining complex legal matters in a way that was easy to comprehend. The success I achieved in securing international custody of my children stands as a testament to Shelby's expertise and unwavering diligence. His remarkable ability to achieve such outcomes in such a difficult case is a true testament to his capabilities. He also displayed genuine care and empathy throughout the entire process. His compassion and understanding made me feel reassured. I would wholeheartedly recommend Shelby to anyone in need of a family lawyer.

Shelby has given me peace of mind!

I highly recommend Shelby if you are fighting for custody of your children. He was very kind and explained everything in a way that someone who isn’t a lawyer gets it. My hearing was so gratifying and I have Shelby to thank.

Excellent attorney

Shelby was very attentive and quick to respond with questions. He was hired for my initial divorce and then a second time for modification of custody case. He was excellent at explaining all the legal issues at hand and I could not recommend him more!
