Customer Reviews for Law Office of Shelley A. Gordon

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2018-2020I was so grateful for Shelley's support during the difficult experience of a divorce. Shelley is very knowledgeable about Family Law and provided me with excellent guidance to navigate this time: both legally and personally. I felt empowered with information to make the best decisions for me and my family during this process.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2020Shelley Gordon made the whole process going threw a divorce so much easier then expected. And stayed on top of the process even threw the COVID pandemic and Alameda County court systems. All I can say is that I highly recommend her; so much so that I passed her info to two other friends that were equally satisfied.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2017I interviewed several lawyers when looking for an attorney to help with my divorce (to an attorney... so I really needed someone with expertise who would not be intimidated). Shelley was more than an excellent lawyer, she was an incredible support through the whole process. Extremely efficient with her time, her services cost far less than I expected and nothing like the horror stories I'd heard of from other friends. I also appreciated that my "case" wasn't being handled by a ton of attorneys/juniors as happens in larger law firms (and often results in errors and extra costs). She is SMART SMART and just a really truly great rock of a human being. Shelley more than "dealt with my divorce", she empowered me into a new phase of my life. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2019-2020Shelley was a consummate professional and she made a really awful and difficult time far more palatable. She explained what we could expect with the mediation process, and advised us to seek independent professionals where we needed more specific information. She was available to answer our questions and was patient with us. Shelley's mediation experience and people skills will prove invaluable to anyone. We are grateful she was there for us. We highly recommend Shelley.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
