Shelly Kay Perkins

Shelly genuinely cared about my situation. She knows her law - And (even more important) has the knowledge and experience to manage others that practice law that can hit "under the belt" to say. Shelly is very down to earth - will tell you the truth - give you down to earth advice - and will ensure ...you come out with the best possible situation for all concerned. I highly recommend her and will fully recommend her to friends and family that find themselves in an irrevocable situation - She will make it right.

Initially, I had no idea of what to expect once I decided to pursue my dissolution of marriage. The information available on line and in books on the subject of the Male side of divorce is overwhelming and often conflicting, so I decided to do what a rational person would do—find an attorney. I ...spoke to friends about their experiences with divorce attorneys and ask for their recommendations. After reviewing several of their recommendations and learning that their cost per hour was more than I earned weekly, with the total projected cost well beyond my expectations, I considered filing on my own. That, I learned, was really not the best idea I’ve ever had. The self-file paperwork seemed simple enough, but after reading what was required, the pitfalls of self-filing, and every error that a self-filer could make, I decide to seek a competent attorney within my means. It was at this point I learned of and received a referral to Shelly Perkins from the Employee Assistance Program thru my employer. In our initial interview she listened to the case specifics, my concerns, and questions. With follow up questioning she was able to determine the issues and merits of my case. By the end of the initial interview she addressed my concerns, answered my questions, and proposed, what I regarded, a reasonable course of action. Based on her recommendations a comprehensive and equitable filing was produced. In a little more than two months I received notice that my dissolution of marriage was final. As you read thru the reviews about Shelly Perkins you’re going to find several common threads of thought; she is deeply experienced and professionally competent, she likes winning, she is direct and will not waste your time, and she will work for your desired outcome. My advice to you is the same advice I received from another of her clients, “Listen to her; she knows what she is doing”. I did. Finally, I must also commend her staff for being instrumental in communicating developments and keeping me informed as the case progressed. Yes, Shelly and her team have earned my recommendation!

Shelly represented me in my divorce of a long term marriage (30 years) where I was the main income earner. Shelly’s knowledge of the laws, historical precedence’s of her extensive case histories, her long standing good relationships with mediators and other highly rated relevant experts all cont...ributed to settling my case in mediation and avoiding court. Shelly quickly assessed my situation and guided me on specific strategies to put me in a better negotiating position. She also was my true advocate and did not allow me to be taken advantage of by the opposing party/attorney especially when things got very complicated. Shelly is very responsive and efficient in her emails and phone calls keeping fees as low as possible. I highly recommend Shelly Perkins! Shelly, thank-you so much! Eric

Shelly was very thorough in everything that she did on my behalf. She kept me well informed and in a timely manner, on responses and replies from my ex-wife's attorney. Unreasonableness of the other party forced us into the courtroom, which is where Shelly really rocked. I am an engineer, and I wa...s very impressed with Shelly's attention to detail during the entire hearing (4+ hours).
