Shelly Kay Perkins

I think Shelly Perkins is a great attorney and strategist. I had an extremely complex case and during our first meeting she developed a strategy on how to deal with the situation. We followed that strategy for a year with lots of twists and turns along the way and at each junction she gave me solid a...dvice. Following her long term plan and guidance got me through to my ultimate goal, having my two girls safe and secure with me. I couldn't have done it without her and I would recommend her for any case but especially when it is complex and the deck is stacked against you.

I retained Shelly to help me through a lovely divorce and child custody matter. Good times! Shelly is a direct communicator and clearly articulates risks and timelines. She organized herself and her team very quickly and provided me with the expert guidance and representation I needed during a rather... challenging time. When I needed something urgently, she responded with urgency. I absolutely recommend working with Shelly if you want fair, honest, direct, and effective representation! A++

Shelly was hired to help me fight a restraining order and help extend parenting time with my daughter. Not only did she have me spend tens of thousands of dollars trying to do so, she got all my parenting time removed. She continuously undermined my case and babbled in front of the judge to the poin...t he stopped listening to her and awarded the opposition everything they wanted. She doesn't listen, or explain anything. She just makes sure she takes your money over and over, and then sends you a final bill to finish off the back stabbing performance.

I made many mistakes along the way in my divorce and seemingly inevitable follow up custody battle (8 years start to recent finish) The prolonged nightmare was the direct result of no lawyer and then a poor lawyer. When I hired Shelly I had no leverage and little hope of getting my kids into a bett...er situation. Over a period of almost two years, due to constant delays created by the other side and the need for a custody study, Shelly shepherded me and my case though a mess and didn't break the bank. She is efficient, smart and EFFECTIVE! Thanks to Shelly I now have Joint Custody, and the majority of parenting time, and I don't have pay my ex a dime. Oh yeah, and I'm a guy... Shelly got me Custody, Parenting time and no payments in Multnomah County in spite of a wishy washy custody study where the Dr. couldn't come to grips with the idea that I was the primary parent Bottom line, whoever you are, hire Shelly and do what she says. This will make the rest of your life better. Seriously, Call her

I have had a few attorneys. Shelly Perkins was definitely in another league compared to them. She helped me to get full custody of my daughter. She never gave up, had a great attitude, very smart, and a true pleasure to deal with. You will definitely be satisfied with her work. She is nothing short o...f amazing.
