Shelly Kay Perkins

Shelly represented me as my Legal Council during my 2015 divorce and child custody case. My X-husband moved out in May, 2015 and had been pressuring me for a divorce. He called me on a Wednesday to tell me that he had retained an attorney and would be having me served with the papers. He wanted to... give me a "heads up as I just started a new job." I called a friend who referred me to Shelly. Shelly agreed to see me the next day, Thursday. She had all the papers drawn up and was prepared to serve HIM on Friday. I chose to wait until Sunday in order to avoid serving him at work. Her team got the papers served on Sunday morning. My X-husband terminated his relationship with his attorney. Shelly adjusted some things in the decree, met with my X-husband to go over the paperwork which included division of a home, personal property, a business, child custody, visitation and support. He signed the paperwork work in her office. The very next day Shelly walked those papers to the judge, obtained a signature and I was divorced. She was amazing! I am still in "awe" of all she was able to achieve in such an expedited and confident manner. I knew from the first day I met her that she had my back. She even answered a few emails during NON-working hours when she sensed I was upset or scared. I have nothing but respect for Shelly and would recommend her to anybody seeking help with family law.

Shelly was recommended to me through my employers EAP program, and I am very glad I was sent in her direction. She's been wonderful in helping me with my custody issues and was able to get me the time I deserved with my son as well as help with enforcing my court ordered agreement. If it wasn't for S...helly, then I don't know if I would have been able to be as big of a part of my son's life as I am now. I would highly recommend Shelly to anyone who wants someone who will fight for them, who is passionate about what they do and truly cares about who she represents.

I contacted Shelly at Perkins Law office to help me with a rather complicated and unusual custody case. Shelly took the case right away and demonstrated from our very first meeting a high level of professionalism and ethics hard to find nowadays. Her interest in the case was genuine, helpful and eff...icient. On one occasion, I had to deal with an emergency after her normal office business hours. I called her cell phone late that evening and she was there to give me advice without hesitation. She followed up later that day with an email to make sure everything was alright. Throughout this painful and lengthy process, Shelly kept me informed of all new developments, issues, concerns and potential setbacks. She also demonstrated a high level of compassion and sympathy. Shelly's knowledge of the law, the court system here in Clackamas County and opposing attorney‘s strategies are beyond just talent. This, in my opinion, requires years of experience, dedication and perseverance. If anyone is in need of a family law attorney and or is just seeking advice, simple or complicated, I recommend you contact Shelly at Perkins Law office. Her professionalism, ethics and efficiency will help your case immensely. Thank you Shelly for your outstanding work, sound advice and most of all…. Thank you for being a good soul in a challenging profession.

After 23 years of marriage this was my first and only divorce and need for an attorney. From my first consultation Shelly gave me very good advice about my rights to marital assests and posessions. There were times the unknown would drive me to the brink of insanity, and Shelly would calm me down and... tell me what to expect. At times just when I thought I couldnt take anymore harrassment and slander from the other attorney she would jump in with an email to stop them and I would feel instant relief. She is sooo good. I googled what to look for in a good divorce attorney and what to expect from one and she fit the bill from beginning to end. Shelly worked towards mediation and and out of court settlement when that was not recieved by the other side, she prepared her witnesses and I feel presented present such a strong well put together case. She was so much more professional than the first attorney and just better prepared and represented me way better than the second attorney hired by th other side. After the judges award, Shelly counciled me in making a deal to change some of the judges rulings to better serve me in the long run. I have reccomended her to several friends and family member.
