Shelley Kester is a dynamic, passionate, and results-oriented advocate. She also has assembled a top-flight staff to assist her in achieving the best results for her clients. You will be well-served in choosing Shelley to represent you.

Shelley does a wonderful job and is 100% prepared for every step of the way before hand. I highly recommend her, she is honest, hard working and knows the law...

I can not say enough things about Shelley Kester and all the ladies that work with her. Not only are they extremely professional, thorough and knowledgeable but mostly they carry a personal relationship with you. They do not make you feel like it is an attorney client relationship. They do not give a sense of intimidation. You can ask them anything! To me that was so important as we were preparing for something that was so dear to my husband and I, a step parent adoption! It brings tears to my eyes just writing about the ladies because the help and assistance they gave to our family meant the absolute world to us and we will forever be thankful for them!

Shelly and her team were amazing! They were very considerate and worked in a timely manner. I would highly recommend anyone to this firm.

Shelley has been really helpful in providing me with the best information for the services that I need. Her practice is great for providing family law services (related). It's easy to tell through email communication that she is empathetic and supportive. She comes highly recommended!

A family friend recommended us to Shelley Kester at Wilson Kester. As he put it, "if you are looking for someone to torch the earth" call Shelley. We met with Shelley to explain our case and she put us in great hands with Mellisa Reilly. Mellisa was friendly, understanding and knowledgeable in what we needed. Everything was solved in a timely manner. The whole team was responsive throughout the process. We are so happy to have Wilson Kester in our side of the ring. HIGHLY recommended for family law!

Wilson Kester Firm are very passionate at what they do. They sensitive to their client needs. Highly recommend them.

I highly recommend Shelly. She is very attentive with her work and knowledgeable.

Hard to imagine them getting any genuine 5 star reviews based on the treatment I received. Look elsewhere!

Update 8/9/23: Shelley and her team are still expedient in helping and serving their clients. Six years after my divorce they were able to direct and help immediately with a question that I had, which brought peace of mind. Great team! Original review: Shelley was supportive, knowledgeable and kind throughout my divorce process. She listened and really heard me-which mattered. I felt very valued. Divorce is ugly, always, but Shelley was oxygen that gave me life.

Represented by senior partner in my divorce. The office appeared disorganized and matters were not handled timely. When I questioned their billing due to duplicate charges I was advised that they no longer wished to represent me. Their greatest talent appeared to be generating billable time with little to show for it. The last thing you want or need when you are going through a divorce is an ineffective and insensitive attorney who is suppose to be representing your interests.

As a colleague and owner of a family law firm in New York, I am deeply impressed by the precision with which Wilson Kester the Empowered Divorce Source operates in northern and southern Michigan. Anchored in Traverse City, they do an exceptional job in divorce and family law. Their consistent communication highlight just how client-focused they are. This fact coupled with their team's extensive experience, explains for their successful track record. I highly recommend this firm.
