Shelly Kay Perkins

Ms. Shelly Perkins is a very competent lawyer in Portland and at the same time very Kind and Compassionate. She has represented me more than once and helped me get through rough times. My EX to change more than three lawyers just to defend himself still both the times I got a favorable judgment becau...se of her. She listens to all my concerns, responds in a timely manner and provides the best Legal advice and sticks to my side and she has also been a well wisher and guide. I am very pleased with her services. She is so knowledgeable and I am so amazed and thankful that I found her. The effort that she put in has been so much yet she billed me very reasonably. Her staff is also very great. I highly recommend Ms. Shelly Perkins services for anyone that needs help with Child custody, Divorce and separation.

Ms. Perkins was hired, performed less than three months of work - mainly through her associate Adrienne, who was excellent - and then quit abruptly less than a month before the trial. She did not understand or advance my case at all. In fact, she undermined it. Do not hire this attorney if you ar...e involved in a high conflict case. This attorney can not understand or handle aggressivley unethical opposition. Waste of time, money, energy, all to end up far worse off had I not hired her. Avoid.

Let me start by saying "I was referred to Shelly by another divorce Attorney". I knew my divorce was going to be a messy joke. Shelly was very understanding about my case. Shelly really kept me on track with what we needed to do to win the case. Every time I wanted to be vengeful, she would point... this out and explain what the Judge wanted to hear in court and what would just irritate them. I am very thankful for that advise. She was direct in questioning during the court process, so as to not rack up my bill with useless time, (unlike the other sides Lawyer). I felt she was very professional in her work and the same of all her office staff. I was amazed at how quick her office responded to any concerns I had, which for my situation was what I really needed. I was extremely happy with the settlement I received, which was what Shelly told me I most likely would get from the moment I hired her.

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.
