Shelly Kay Perkins

Shelly, Represented me in my custody case regarding my daughter. She was very always very quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. She dealt with my ex, in a very professional manner. Having Shelly as my lawyer helped me feel a lot less stress during a very stressful situation. I always k...new she had everything in line with the courts and whom ever else she needed to interact with. I would strongly recommend her.

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.

I was engaged in what at first appeared to be a fairly cut and dried divorce case - no custody situation and a 50/50 split of assets/debts. My ex-husband chose to fight an even distribution and caused the negotiation process to drag out much longer than it should have. Shelly always kept my rights ...and interests at the forefront from a legal perspective and was able to advise how the court would rule in all areas so that I was completely informed and able to make many difficult decisions along the way. She was able to break down legalese and processes in layperson's terms so I felt empowered to respond with all the facts and options in front of me. With her determination, knowledge of the county court system, and guidance given on when to stand firm and when to compromise, I was able to close the divorce with a better result than originally expected. She always kept an even keel and skillfully navigated points of negotiation with my ex's attorney. She was also readily available via email or phone to advise or clarify. I highly recommend Shelly Perkins as legal representation in any divorce situation. While I didn't have minor children or custody to negotiate, I know that she has vast experience in this area as well. I will always be grateful to Shelly for her assistance with my divorce.

Shelly helped me with a modified custody case. Before I obtained her as my attorney, I had met with several others. After I met Shelly, no one else compared. She KNOWS the law. She understands the ins and outs, and explains everything in detail. I felt completely taken care of by Shelly, and even thr...ough a very difficult, emotionally draining time, my faith in her and knowing she was on my side was comforting. She was always very quick on returning my phone calls and emails. We had two full days in court, and I couldn't possibly be more satisfied with how Shelly fought for me and my son's best interests. I won full custody, along with several other things. Shelly continues to be my attorney when I have a question about how I should handle a situation or need advice. Thank you Shelly!
