From the initial visit, we experienced a professional demeanor accompanied with compassion. Ms. Kestler and her partner, Van Slyke Jr. listened attentively and immediately swung into action. They expressed the prior legal defense mishandled our case and were eager to help us with proper enforcement of court ordered visitation rights that were being denied to my daughter by her son’s father.
The rates were fair and more than reasonable. Our prior experience left us believing all the attorney wanted was money and we literally never got one thing resolved for the money we paid all in advance of

I could not have asked for a better experience with the firm, and if I ever need legal services again, I won’t hire anyone else. Top Notch, five stars all the way!

Shelly came into our lives when we had lost all hope. She was able to do things in a week that our previous attorney couldn’t even manage in over 6 months. Everything we asked of her she did and more. She fought for me and my son and that’s all I ever wanted! She never once overcharged and it was apparent from the start that she isn’t in it all for the money but for fighting for her clients and doing what is right! I highly recommend her and will always use her services in the future!!!
