Prompt response to phone calls. Staff friendly. Kudos to Tina for handling my questions, issues,and concerns professionally.

Very knowledgeable and informative.. When the insurance adjuster was going to give me half of my vehicle value, Dennis in turn got me the full book value.. Friendly staff.. They will fight for you!! I would defenitely use them again.. Very professional..

I knew I called the right attorney within the first few minutes. Mr Shillen was able to explain the process in a way that gave me confidence, support and respected my feelings. After my initial contact and through the entire experience I always felt my concerns were completely addressed. The end result was better than imagined and I can't thank Mr Shillen and his team enough!

I was so pleased when Dennis Shillen accepted our request to be on our non-profit board. I know he is an excellent attorney. He is also a person of integrity, committed to serving our community. He has served our non-profit residential care facility with same dedication and caring that are his hallmark.

Attorney Shillen and his team took over my case which had been ignored by a fellow attorney, who has left the firm. The statue of limitations was running out. Attorney Shillen, Kim and Nicole were very helpful and I am so appreciative of their diligence in the short amount of time we had. I highly recommend their firm as they are caring, kind and generous. Thank you so very much.

Kim and Dennis are excellent people to deal with. They had a consultation with me and took my case the same day. They cared about me and my family and handling my case in a timely manor. I strongly recommend anyone going to Shillen&Mackall to seek representation by Kim and Dennis. Just overall great people to put your trust into.

In 2016 I was rear-ended in an automobile accident and sustained injuries for which I wanted to be adequately compensated. I searched for the best personal injury lawyer in order to get experienced and exceptional representation in court. My search led me to Nick Seldon of Shillen & Mackall Law Office in Woodstock, Vermont, a lawyer who is experienced, has a track record of success relating to my area of injury, and has an established network of investigators and medical professionals to support my legal cause. When I met with Nick, he spent a substantial amount of time listening to my story before asking questions on certain aspects of the accident, in order to gain a deeper insight into the circumstances. He responded to my questions and concerns with empathy, and he understood the suffering I and my family endured, and continue to endure, and that my health was priority one. Nick spoke to me with frankness and sincerity. He informed me about the prospects of the case, good and bad, thereby, helping me to avoid unnecessary anxiety going forward. Nick advised me on the best course of action, and offered credible reasons for the advice that he issued, and included my goals in planning the case. He kept my best interests in mind at all times, willing to take the case as far as it will go. I left Nick’s office ensured that I would be fully compensated for the injuries I sustained including medical bills, pain and suffering, and more. I knew I had hired a trusted advocate. Nick carried out his duties with utmost professionalism, and handled me as his client with care and affection. He treated me with the utmost dignity and respect throughout the case. He genuinely cared about achieving justice for my injuries and was completely invested in helping me receive a fair compensation, so that I could begin to rebuild my life, receive necessary medical care, and overcome my injuries as best I could after the accident. Nick kept me fully informed of everything going on during the case, sent copies of every letter he wrote on my behalf, provided regular reports on case settlement progress, returned all my phone calls, answered emails promptly, and made sure that if he was busy with a trial someone would get back to me or let me know when he was expected to be available. I might add that Nick has a strong and experienced support staff who was always available to update me as to the progress of my case. Nick made time to be available to answer any of my questions, strived to educate me on the legal processes, went above and beyond to reach a successful settlement, all the while empowering me to make the big decisions after informing me of the many considerations. In the end I learned that Nick is an eloquent and effective communicator, a savvy mediator, possesses strong judgement and intense knowledge of the law, is thorough, astute, and a has profound compassion to fight on his clients’ behalf to achieve the maximum compensation. It was no wonder to me that Nick has a track record of success which afforded me to obtain a stronger settlement because of his past successes in this area. Nick is indisputably a truly talented as well as a skilled and accomplished personal injury lawyer. I am forever grateful to Nick for his compassion and understanding regarding my injuries, and his enduring willingness to fight in obtaining the maximum compensation I and my family were expecting.

The staff at Shillen & Mackall is knowledgeable and professional. They have been extremely helpful during a very difficult time and have always gone above and beyond to provide exceptional service. My family would not hesitate in recommending them.

Great firm. I had a complicated case. The insurance company denied my claim. Attorney Seldon fought hard and most importantly we won. I was able to get the medical care that I needed.

I had a very good experience with the Shillen & Mackall Law Office. They were excellent at handling everything and I felt like they really cared about me and how my case turned out. I would reccommend them to any one.
