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 .

Shelby Hart and Team are the best!

Felt completely lost, scared and not sure what I really could do to make sure my girls and I were going to be okay if I were to proceed with divorce. I didn’t even know where to go let alone what to do. Came across Coker Robb and Canon and was blessed to have found Shelby Hart. So professional, conf...ident, compassionate, (and in a very good way), the knowledgeable silent but lethal when needed persona of Shelby is real. Instantly I knew I found my lawyer, all my fears subsided and I knew I was making the best choices in my life, for myself and for my daughters. Shelby believed in me from the start which made me also believe in myself. His communication was outstanding, no time was an inconvenience to hims Shelby made sure I knew every single option I had, good or bad, he never sugar coated any scenario. Went through two grueling time consuming, emotional mediations together and never once did he leave my side. Even missed a family holiday to fight for me. From the moment I walked into his office, he and his team made sure I always knew it was in my hands and he was just there to make sure I was okay. I couldn’t have did it without him. Divorce is the hardest thing I have ever experienced and I would wish it upon no one, but if you ever find yourself in the same place I was, I can not recommend Shelby and his team enough. If there were more stars to give, they would go to him.

Grateful and beyond satisfied

I had a very difficult case which involved children and finances, among other factors. When I first called the law firm I was unsure of what of what to expect, but was assured Shelby was the right lawyer for my case based on the specifics. They were not wrong. From day one, Shelby, was attentive, s...pecific, empathetic, and worked tirelessly to make sure no detail was overlooked. He was very good at keeping me focused, even when emotions were high. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case and I know it was all due to Shelby's impeccable instincts and and experience. I would highly recommend Shelby to anyone. You won't be disappointed.

Highly recommend

I was incredibly impressed with the compassion, professionalism, advocacy, promptness, and care Shelby took in my case. He made the entire process so much easier than I could have imagined, and it allowed me to focus on the emotional parts of the process that weren't easy. I'll forever be grateful f...or him.

Shelby Saved My Sanity

I’m not sure what your family law needs are, but I am sure that Coker, Robb & Cannon can help you. And if you’re looking for a divorce lawyer that won’t add to the stress and anxiety of the situation, then definitely go with Shelby Hart, I couldn’t be more grateful for how he helped me. I reached ...out online, and they got back to me the same day. I think it was Rachel that reached out and interviewed me and after discussing my situation she paired me with Shelby, who was also a new parent, and that was amazing! I don’t know if this is standard practice, but it should be. It should also be mentioned that Rachel worked with me throughout the process: on my case as a paralegal, to help me schedule time and figure out documents, and she was incredibly kind, patient and thoughtful in every interaction. Shelby was invaluable, in that he not only made me feel less stressed out about getting divorced, he also gave me advice on what the different outcomes would be depending on the path I chose. He helped me negotiate a decree that would not only be in the best interest of my child and myself, but one that would stand up in court. His advice kept me grounded, and he tailored his approach to my now ex-husband perfectly. That may not seem important on the surface, but when you are living with the person you are divorcing, it makes a huge difference in your day-to-day life and interactions with that person. I was fully divorced within 3 months of contacting Coker, Rob & Cannon, and I plan on using them for my will and any other family law needs I may have in the future. Shelby, sincerely, thank you for everything, I appreciate it so much.
