Great attorney, responsive, knowledgeable, friendly

A friend recommended Shelli to us as a good attorney to do our wills. Shelli did our wills in a timely fashion. She was smart, very responsive, and patiently answered our many questions. We were very impressed with her vast knowledge regarding Estate Planning. At some point in the future, when we hav...e more assets, we intend to hire her again to do more extensive work for us. I would highly recommend Shelli as an Estate Planning attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
