Would’ve been better off doing it myself- Shelly & her”team” did nothing to help me get more time with my young boys. If you have a question, it takes DAYS for them to get back with you and then of course it costs money to simply answer a question. I don’t know why anyone would consider her for a divorce- she doesn’t work FOR YOU- she’s only trying to “make a deal” with the spouses lawyer! Pathetic is the best word to describe Shelly Reese, as a divorce lawyer. I hired her because she was a woman and thought as a woman she’d fight extra hard for me- that was my first mistake! She’s NOT a fighter, she’s a give in (compromise) type lawyer. She recommended a guardian ad lidam and believe it or not, SHE wasn’t any good either. The guardians are supposed to work on behalf of your children- SHE DID NOT- she actually favored the father- which is the person that abused one of the boys! Talk about a messed up system- this lawyer and her recommendation-for a guardian are not worth a flip. I owe thousands of dollars to someone for doing NOTHING on my behalf- save your money & do it yourself OR hire a MAN- cause anyone would be better than this woman!

Awful business. Took my money and after over a year and being moved attorneys in the firm due to him having too high of case load. I finally got a court date only for them to drop me a month prior to my court date without notice, due to not being available, but they are still able to take other clients.

I am so grateful for Shelly and her staff! They have showed me nothing but love and kindness over the past few days and Loni coming the hospital today was above and beyond! She took the time at the office to read me the POA because I was so overwhelmed. She offered me water soda chocolate and most importantly a hug. Michelle‘s help was just above and beyond what I could’ve ever imagined, too! I am very blessed. You guys have been a blessing to me today. Thank you for to you for drawing up that POA on such short notice. Today are you and your staff reminded me that there still is kindness in this evil world. I am very thankful and I just wanted you to know that you have an outstanding staff. They are first-class in every waY!

I have no idea who the poor review was talking about, but it was not Shelly. I have used her and referred to friends. She pays attention to the details and really cares about her clients and welfare of the children involved in ugly custody battles. Plus, it was nice talking to a well educated attorney who could help with the financial side of a divorce. She has her MBA and was able to poke holes in my husband's attorneys flawed calculating. I would also feel comfortable hiring any one of the other attorneys in her office if the need arises, i.e. traffic tickets, etc. Thanks for all your hard work Shelly!

Never knew who I was, my case details etc. when I met with her or talked to her on phone. (Just open my file and do a quick glance before meeting me would have sufficed) I never felt confident I had a chance in my case. I had to call and ask for updates, she was never clear on things I would ask and finally got a hold of her. Was not supportive in my worries about pursuing the case. Maybe getting too busy to handle all her clients by herself in the last few years. I paid her consistently with her retaining fee and her payment plan, but never felt I got the thousands of dollars worth she charged me. The payment plan was very nice I will admit that. Got charged for her aides to fix the simple mistakes they made and I caught on the paperwork; which may be standard practice, but I do not feel that is fair either. Others who have her also had similar complaints; through mutual friends we found that out. Sad thing is she probably knows her stuff and could be good in court, but after 6 months of retaining her I did not want to find out. I eventually dropped case, because I felt hopeless.

We recently used Shelly for our custody case. I was very pleased with how she handled our case! She wasn't always quick to respond to emails, but when it came time to take care of business and do the trial/settlment work, she was extremely honest, knowledgeable, and we were 100% satisfied that Shelly had my best interest in mind and was definitely working for me. It was a nice breath of fresh air to have a lawyer who was more concerned with my needs than with making a paycheck. She offered a payment plan, which was exceptionally nice (considering how expensive custody stuff gets). If we ever have to go back to court, I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Shelly!

Shelly is the one to select for your legal issue. She is an expert in her field and informs you at all times the progress and process that needs to take place. She goes above and beyond her normal schedule to accommodate you. Open lines of communication are never an issue for she is available for you whenever you need her assistance or questions answered. She is dedicated to her profession and her clients.

Shelly is amazing! She listens, understands, and genuinely cares. Shelly does what she says & is always quick to respond to any questions. I've hired her for a second time without considering anyone else! Trust is what it's all about & I know I can trust her.

She helped me understand my rights in my divorce and made my divorce very short and sweet.
