      An Amazing Commitment to Her Clients

      Posted by

      I have worked with Shelly and her team for over two years during a very difficult time for our family and business. From our first meeting she exhibited confidence and competence that was tempered with a sensitivity and commitment to her clients that I have found in few professionals during my 23 year professional career. Shelly continues to impress me with her ability to navigate a complex legal environment during a difficult and ever changing social-economic environment. I recommend her without hesitation and would congratulate anyone able to secure her services.

      Brilliant!

      Posted by

      Smart, driven, and ethical. From start to finish working with Shelly and her team was a dream! I hope I never have to manage another company through a Chapter 11, but if I did, Shelly would be the only person I'd call.

      Client

      Posted by

      Shelly and her team handled a complex Chapter 11 for me and my company. Extremely competent, no nonsense, straight forward, caring and honest. They were always there when needed and did not waste time. She has an excellent grasp of the big picture and knows how to apply the law. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a bankruptcy attorney.

      Relieving

      Posted by

      I have only interacted with Shelly once but she has given me a lot of relief from just an understanding tone of her correspondence with me. I would definitely rate her very well.

      A GODSEND

      Posted by

      IF IT WASNT FOR SHELLY I WOULD BE IN A VERY BAD SITUATION. I WAS INVOLVED IN A VERY COMPLEX CASE AND SHE BROUGHT IT TO A MIRACULOUS ENDING. I'VE DELT WITH SEVERAL LAWYERS BEFORE BUT SHE IS THE ULTIMATE. SHE IS BRILLIANT, CARING SINCERE. SHE SEES THE BIG PICTURE AND DOESNT GET CAUGHT UP WITH TANGENTS THAT IN THE PAST COST ME MONEY. I ACTUALLY ENJOYED PAYING HER FOR HER SERVICES . SHE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. SHE WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE IS DOWN TO EARTH, NEVER PUTS YOU OFF. USE HER. YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU FOUND HER

      Number one

      Posted by

      Shelly is a powerful and successful advocate for her clients. She is tough, smart and "no bull" ...able to see into the heart of the matter, to concisely translate the issues for laymen and able to successfully fight for her client's well-being. I worked with numerous East Coast attorneys before finding Shelly and she accomplished in less than a year what the others spent five years billing me for with out resolution. Thank you Shelly!

      What can I say about Shelly?

      Posted by

      That she is real-world, smart, efficient, practical, and entrepreneurial. or Don't get her mad! or Hire her before your opponent does. Yeah, that about says it.

      Horrible experience with this lawyer.

      Posted by

      This Shelly character never worked on my case, never talked to me about my case, and was generally not involved at all in my case. I worked with another lawyer that was excellent. When my lawyer left Shelly's firm very shortly after I retained her Shelly started sending me bills for $50k+. Later, she actually logged hours on HER behalf researching how to put a lien on my case. She never got the lien and finally stopped sending the PAST DUE notices after my case settled. I wouldn't get anywhere near this woman. Completely insane on the phone discussing this weird bill. Just in case you missed it, she tried to charge me for her time researching something AGAINST my interest. A 10 foot pole isn't long enough. I post anonymously because I don't know how many people she's done this to and in a small hope to not be identified by her. I wouldn't put retaliation past her for a second.

      James Williams, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Jun 5, 2007
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      Shelly is an excellent bankrutpcy lawyer who delivers great value to the clients she serves and the lawyers with whom she works. I have had the pleasure of working with her before and would love to do it again.

      Jody Mccormick, Foreclosure Attorney on Jun 15, 2010
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      Shelly and I represented opposite views on a foreclosure panel. She was thoughtful, prepared and knowledgeable. She is clearly an expert in her field.

      Thomas Lerner, Chapter 11 bankruptcy Attorney on Apr 9, 2013
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      About 40% of my practice involves bankruptcy matters, on behalf of creditors. When I need to make a referral for debtors counsel, or want assistance at the most sophisticated level, my immediate reaction is to call Shelly. I have seen how effectively she communicates complicated bankruptcy concepts to clients, and how thorough and broad an analysis she brings to the problem. The stakes in bankruptcy are too important not to have an ally who really knows what they are doing. Shelly is a top tier professional.

      Peter Holmes, Chapter 11 bankruptcy Attorney on Jan 8, 2012

      I endorse this lawyer.

      Zeshan Khan, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Apr 4, 2011

      Shelly is a go-to leader in the field, a powerful advocate, and great attorney.

      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      Shelly is savvy, creative, thoughtful and dedicated to her clients. She is very well respected by the local courts and lawyers. I highly recommend her. Her firm has a number of attorneys and if she cannot assist you, she can connect you with someone else in her firm.

      Joseph Campos, Chapter 11 bankruptcy Attorney on Aug 11, 2008
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      I endorse this lawyer's work. Our law firm was handling a complex commercial and securities litigation matter, and we brought in Shelly to handle advise on bankruptcy matters. Instantly, Shelly became san integral part of the lawyer-client team and together we brought the matter to a succesful conclusion for the client. There are lots of bankruptcy lawyers around town. If, however, you are looking for a bankruptcy lawyer who knows the law and can also be part of a strategic team looking to resolve a complex problem, then Shelly is the right choice.

      Juliana Wong, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Jan 8, 2008

      I endorse this lawyer's work. Shelly is smart, creative, practical and efficient. She also has a fantastic sense of humor. She helped my client to achieve the desired result. I will work with her again and recommend her unequivocally.
