Shelly A. Merchant

After being served unexpectedly with divorce papers, I was referred to Shelly Merchant by a family member. After consulting with Shelly, I knew she was the legal professional I wanted representing me and my interests. She and her office kept me updated at all times. They were accommodating when it... came to scheduling appointments, and expected costs were always discussed. Shelly guided me successfully through this process, and I am forever grateful.

Shelly Merchant was assigned to our case by the state as the attorney (amicus) for my grandson. She was relentless in finding the best solution for this difficult case and went the extra mile to ensure that what was best for the child would be first and foremost. She passed no judgment on hearsay, on...ly on the facts. Well done Shelly.

I had Mrs.Shelly as an amicus that was assigned to my custody case, I was going through a custody dispute for the second time ms merchant always investigated thoroughly and was always completely fair about everything, to be going through such a terrible and scary time in my life I'm so happy that I c...ould at least rely on the fact the amicus (merchant) was honest fair and very thorough she took on such a difficult case and did the best job any lawyer could have done, I can say I was very pleased with her and her entire staff. Very attentive very thorough and very honest that's a great lawyer in my book thank you ms merchant this would have been unbearable without you.

Shelly was absolutely one of the best attorneys I have had. Unfortunately, for me, I have had to deal with the courts over custody issues a few times. Not always did I have a 'good' attorney by my side. So finding Shelly was a Blessing for me. As a mother, being in a custody battle is terrifying, how...ever, Shelly helped me through it. She was understanding and compassionate. She seemed more of a friend than an attorney to me. Always kept me informed of what was going on, what needed to be done and how WE were going to do it. She never left me wondering or in suspense, waiting for phone calls back. She explained the legal aspects of things to me, listened to my concerns and suggestions and followed through with her legal opinion of what was best and explained why it was best. She assured me that we would do anything and everything possible to win my case and she did just that. I plan to continue working with Shelly, shall I ever need any legal assistance again and would highly recommend her to anyone.
