After 20+ years, my wife and I made the difficult decision to divorce. I contacted Shelley for representation and have been extremely satisfied with her professionalism, empathy, skill, experience and intelligence. She is tough, capable and always made me feel confident in the process and outcome. She kept me grounded during an emotional and challenging time and I can't thank her enough. Highly recommend Shelley Carter!

Shelley is very professional and perceptive. I always felt valued and respected in her presence as she handled my case in a sincere and timely manor. I would absolutely seek her council in the future if the need were to arise.

I couldn’t recommend Shelley enough. Shelley handled our PFA on behalf of a minor child with competency and skill. She is the right mixture of compassionate, professional, and straightforward. I know for absolute certain that she did the best job anyone could have for our case. She is responsive, knowledgeable, and on her game. Western Maine is lucky to have her.

Shelley represented me through a difficult divorce and parental rights case. Shelley is highly professional, smart and experienced. She clearly explained what to expect from the process, and really kept me at ease with her compassion and patience during this very difficult time. Shelley was quick to respond to my questions, and to keep me informed about any updates from the courts, or updates my former wife’s attorney. Shelley’s guidance was invaluable and helped me to achieve a better outcome than I thought was possible. I highly recommend Shelley.

Shelley represented me with great professionalism, empathy, and respect. As an attorney she is without bias, very intelligent and experienced. She provided me with great communication, promptly and made me feel like my case was her priority. She met with me promptly and allowed me to feel free to step into her office at anytime during the duration of her counsel. Whenever information with the courts was updated she was quick to let me know of any changes and as soon as my case was dropped she informed me within the hour. I would advise anyone needing legal consultation or representation to seek her counsel.

Shelley, was my attorney for a Parental Rights case. Honestly going into her office the first few times I was beyond nervous, I have never had much confidence in myself. Going to her not only helped with my case and getting that taken care of but it also gave me a new sense of confidence in myself. I really do appreciate how straight forward she was with me through-out the whole process. Not just that but if I didn't understand something or I had any type of question she was there to explain it to me, until I understood. Shelley is a wonderful attorney, who is not just straight to the point but she is very understanding and she is caring about her work. I honestly would not go to another attorney for my Parental Rights, she has been right by my side through the whole process and that is exactly what I needed. Someone to be a back bone until I could get my own. Thank you for everything!

My experience with Shelley P Carter's Law office was exceptional considering the circumstances. Shelley represented me twice for traffic violations and won both times despite seemingly insurmountable odds! Shelley and her staff were always upfront, very personable, and great listeners who get straight to the main points of the case, not to mention very reasonably priced compared to other law firms that I had contacted. Shelley did a great job of honestly explaining the possible outcomes & what I could expect, & then she exceeded expectations by obtaining even better results than what I could have hoped for! I wasn't even sure I could afford representation until I spoke with Shelley, but I'm awfully glad I did because it ended up saving me not only money in fines & insurance rate hikes, but also from having a bad driving record. If you find yourself in the untenable position of needing legal representation without breaking the bank, I highly recommend the Law Office of Shelley P Carter
