Shared Experience

I wish I would have read the ‘Worst Lawyer Ever’ review as this was my exact experience with this attorney. I hired Shelly for a minor custody issue and was required to provide a $6,000 retainer fee. Like Worst Lawyer Ever, I felt she had the opposing sides best interest and never provided any strat...egy on handling my case – rather her statement of let just wait and she what happens. She was consistently condescending and as the case was winding down, she charged me attorney fees for duties her paralegal could have handled for less than half the cost. At the end of the case, I preferred getting a call or email from my former spouse than receiving one from this attorney.

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.
