Shelly Kay Perkins

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 is a great divorce attorney. She came highly recommended by a friend and she did not disappoint. She was great to work with. She's available when you need her but doesn't waste your time and money when you don't need her. My ex tried all kinds of antics during the divorce and she overcame ever...y single one by working the legal system in a strategic and honorable way, never sinking to the dirty antics she was fighting against. She was a far superior lawyer in court, knowing when to push, when to ask more questions and knowing when the best thing is to let things lie. She gave good advice on the types of documents to present in court, how to present them, and the actions and behaviors that can win a judges favor. With her help, the judge awarded nearly everything I asked for. I couldn't have imagined a better outcome.

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.

I was in trouble. My ex was keeping my son from me and nothing was fair or right. My case was so complicated and the opposing attorney was so mean, some attorneys wouldn’t even take my case. They told me it was an uphill battle to get anything and I might as well give in. Shelly immediately stepp...ed in and used the legal system the right way to help me. I now see my son 50% of the time and I got half of the assets too. I would recommend her to anyone with a tough case for sure.
