Biography
Shelly K. Perkins is the owner and primary lead attorney at Perkins Law, LLC, a thriving General Law Practice specializing in family law, criminal law, mediation services, employment law, business contract law, and estate planning. Shelly’s specialty in family law has seen her through the filing of hundreds of domestic relations cases and thousands of hours in the courtroom. Due to this experience, alongside her prior experience as a deputy district attorney, Shelly is able to provide a solid footing for her clients that face the unfortunate, yet inevitable, chaos that surrounds divorce, custody, parenting time, and support issues. Shelly’s business acumen, acquired during her dual undergraduate degrees in Business Management and Information Systems Analysis and applied during her multiple decade ownership of a small manufacturing business, lends itself well into complex divorces, business litigation, and contract formation.
She is an Oregon native, graduate of Portland State University, further graduate of Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College, and member of the Oregon State Bar since 1997. As an avid tennis player, she is happy to apply her tenacious, aggressive, and confident nature to another court. She also enjoys reading and running.

Shelly Kay Perkins's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I practice as a domestic relations attorney as opposing counsel against Shelly in the Tri-County area. I have handled several cases where Shelly represented the opposing party. In my experience she's a professional and tenacious advocate for her clients. I believe a more important skill she possesses is the ability to work with her clients and opposing counsel to help her clients avoid the substantial cost and risk associated with fully contested divorce and custody cases when the parties would be better off working toward a cooperative resolution. I endorse Shelly's skills and professionalism."
"Ms. Perkins is a highly skilled family law attorney based in Clackamas, Oregon."
"I endorse this lawyer. She is very experienced, well versed in the law and committed to resolving cases with her clients' best interests at heart. She is well thought of by the bench, and an accomplished litigator."
