Shelly Kay Perkins

So my wife was cheating on me for several years. I finally told her to stop or get out. A few days later she was gone and I received a false restraining order the very next day. Knowing that everything in the RO was a lie I decided to fight it on my own but it didn’t work out because I had no a...ttorney. I fought to see my 2 boys but did not make much progress. After a few months I started consulting attorneys and went to talk to one. I was told I was dreaming, and she would not take my money and good luck. The very next day I consulted with Shelly, and while she said my case would be difficult, she was confident we would prevail. She was extremely informative, honest and fair thru the entire process and it was not an easy case by any means. I went from every other weekend with my boys to having a majority of the parenting time to now settling to an equal 50/50 split as well as a fair split of assets and no spousal support. To put things in to perspective as to what I was up against my ex wanted me to have only supervised visits once per week for 3hrs, plus outrageous spousal and child support. Without Shelly I do not know where I would have ended up, and I sure as heck don't want to know. Most of the guys I know who have gone thru a divorce have told me so many horror stories, hence the reason I tried to stay in a relationship with my cheating ex for so long. Both my boys and myself can't thank Shelly enough for what she has done for us. She is truly a Rockstar when it comes to family law. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone I know. I would not want to be against her in any courtroom thats for sure. She knew what my kids meant to me, and what I meant to them… and she fought hard to make sure I got what was right. Thanks again Shelly. My boys and I truly can't thank you enough.

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 was recommended highly by another attorney and I am so thankful that he did. She is so professional, knowledgeable, and so personable. Makes you feel like she is really taking care of everything and beyond her duty. Yes, I did hire her and wish that I had known of her years ago. She got my... case dismissed and it did not take her long. Needless to say that yes I would definitely hire her again.

I found Shelly to be professional and well educated. Her advice helped me avoid the whole court process. This saved me thousands of dollars in fees to her and the court. She helped me negotiate an agreement that was much better than I had hoped, and actually allowed me to accept the end result with a... cense of relief. I have refered her to several friends and have heard positive comments from them as well.
