I was in a pedestrian - vehicle accident, and Shelly was my attorney. The following are attributes that describe Shelly: - personable --> She actually cared about me as a client. Some examples include, checking in to make sure I was phyiscally ok, everything was going well with the doctors and phy...sical therapy, and always made sure meetings or appointments or document signing was convenient to me and my times. - Professional --> Her demeanor with me along with the other individuals we interacted with throughout the case (insurance adjusters, etc) was always professional. She was respectful and when tensions were high she kept her cool. - Organized --> She kept all documents, records, notes, organized and neat. Every meeting she was fully prepared, and was very good with email and phone reminders. Being someone with a busy schedule this was extremely appreciated.

I had contacted several attorneys after my father was hit by a car, and frankly, most of them seemed either bored, or a little TOO eager. I just wanted someone who seemed competent, low key, and on the ball. My first contact at Shelly's firm was with Ramin, who seemed like a pretty cool guy, and I go...t the impression he wouldn't leave me hanging. Once I decided to go with them, Shelly started handling the case, and she was always quick to get back to me or give me updates. Even after it was revealed the settlement wouldn't amount to much, they were still very quick and thorough with their responses. This was important, because I'm sure they had bigger cases at the time, but they always took time to explain things. Then came complications with Medicare, who wanted to garnish (not sure if that's the right term?) some of the settlement, they fought to cap Medicare's share so my dad could still get a bit. After they FedEx'ed the check, they emailed to make sure my dad got it; that's like going above and beyond their duty! So overall, yeah, if god forbid I or someone I know is in a bad accident, I would use them again without hesitation!

I hired Shelly after a car accident in LA. Being from Canada I was a little apprehensive about the process. Shelly made it very easy and was very helpful. I received the maximum amount allowed under the other drivers's insurance for my injuries with very little interaction from me. She made a painfu...l recovery much less painful than it could be.

I received outstanding professional representation from Shelly at all times as she guided me through all the steps in a difficult case (auto accident personal injury: tinnitus). Supportive actions she took included accompanying me to medical and other appointments required by opposing counsel no m...atter where scheduled. Further, Shelly was always available to thoroughly and promptly answer all of my questions and concerns by phone, and/or in writing. Taken together, all of her actions along with her personable manner gave me the necessary confidence and trust I relied on to go through a most difficult time and process that with her skilled guidance resolved satisfactorily in my favor. I highly recommend Shelly and her firm, Torklaw, to all who need excellent representation in general, and, as in my case, that provides a true understanding of a tinnitus injury.

I have worked with Shelly on a number of legal matters. I found Shelly to be very honest and responsive. She truly cares for her clients and has gone out of her way to make sure she addressed all of their concerns. I would highly recommend Shelly for legal advice and services. I recommend all my clie...nts to her for any tort type of matter.
