Detailed. Thorough. Supportive.

Shelby helped me to successfully negotiate a divorce settlement with my ex that I felt was fair when my ex was acting less than cooperative and reasonable. Her advice and assertiveness helped me to have the confidence to stand up for what I felt was right for myself and the kids. Shelby was very pa...tient while listening to my questions and concerns and provided clear answers. I appreciated how Shelby billed for her time - I never felt pressured to reduce my communication with her for fear of an unreasonable charge. The case moved quickly with Shelby's directness and I was pleased with the results. I highly recommend Shelby as a divorce lawyer.

Professional. Quick Results.

My divorce had been conducted in Honolulu around 3 years ago. I needed to make corrections to my child support and alimony in order to get a home loan approved. I was in Afghanistan at the time, so I knew retaining a lawyer was the only way I could make theses adjustments in a timely manner. I calle...d Shelby's office to set up a free consultation, and received a call back from her within 2 hours. Two weeks later my documents were signed by the judge. I would definitely recommend Shelby Ferrer to anyone.

Very detailed and personable

While trying to finalize my divorce without an attorney, I soon realized with little time that I had to get representation. I was referred to Shelby from another attorney who was too busy to take me on as a client. He said that Shelby was a very good attorney and I agree. Shelby was busy at the ti...me and still was able to take me as a client. She was very thorough in checking the prenup and tax documents that I had given her and with a short amount of time to prepare for my hearing. She gave me very good advice and asked me how I wanted to proceed. I only wish the judge sided more with me, but that was no fault of Shelby. That's just how it goes sometimes. After my decree was finalized she has still given me great advice when it comes to disagreements with my ex. I feel that she represented me well, didn't feel like I was nickle and dimed and would refer others to use her if they need a good and caring divorce attorney.

Divoce

Hi Shelby, I tried to inquire from the courts for the notice of submission and no one knew about it. Could not find a form. They seem to think lawyers are using an existing form, but, re-wording it and changing the language. Can you please direct me to how I am to get this form to submit asap T...hank you

Excellent Attorney

Shelby was a great attorney. She was helpful and informative throughout my entire case. She was patient with me and explained anything that I didn't know and had my best interest in mind. She kept me updated with what was going on with my case and I got what I wanted, which was establishing custody w...ith my child. I am very happy with the result. I highly recommend Shelby. You can trust her and she will honest with you while trying do what's best for your case.

  • 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.
