Shelly Kay Perkins

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.

Shelly Perkins went above and beyond to represent me in my custody case. Countless hours were spent in the preparation of my case and she was no nonsense in her manner and told me what I needed to do every step of the way in order to get the results I wanted from my case. She was a fighter all the wa...y and stood up for me and my child. She was very educated in the law and her advice was brilliant. I liked her strong personality and her directness. She was always a phone call or an email away morning, noon, and night with any questions I had. I would recommend her to handle even the toughest of custody cases where you feel all hope is lost. She will be your guiding light and get you more than you even thought possible. Worth every penny. Her knowledge and experience is the top in her field. I will be forever grateful for her and would give her 10 stars if I could.

We knew that choosing a lawyer was something that we wanted to spend time on and not just go with the most inexpensive or the easiest choice. We did some searching online and found Shelly and read some reviews. We made a appointment and decided we loved her within minutes of being in her office. It's... been over a year of battling for custody. Every step of the way she informed us, made us feel more confident than we ever had and worked HARD to help us win our fight. She will make you feel proud when your standing in a court room and she knows her stuff more than the other attorney. We even said once that we felt she was the closest you would get to a TV drama lawyer. She knows exactly what to say in the best way. We are coming to an end of our long fight and we couldn't be happier with the outcome... It was everything she assured us she would do. She will not lie to you, she will not sugar coat things, and she will tell you exactly what you will need to do to win. Shelly IS the lawyer you have been searching for and you will be happy to know she is on your side.

I hired shelly for 2 cases a restraining order and custody. Shelly represented me very professionally on both the best possible outcome for my restraining order went threw and custody finalized. She is very aggressive and smart and will fight fairly for you I recommend her for any custody cases u may... have she will get the job done

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!
