I was going through a nasty divorce and had the good fortune to get Shelley to represent me. She explained the process, what to expect, legalities and the things I needed to do. She kept me focused during times of great stress and showed compassion and empathy. My calls and questiond were always answered in a timely manner. She is very knowledgeable and showed great skill in court. I felt she was well prepared and did a first class job representing my interests. I recommend her highly. FW

I got charged with an OUI and Disorderly Disorderly in February last year. I had used Shelly prior to this for a family legal matter, which too faired in my favor quickly and seamlessly. I went straight t to Shelly with this matter and the way I refer to her in the terms of this situations is worded "She IS, the OUI attorney!" Maine has tough laws and I refused to blow which is not a good idea, trust me. She did the best I could have asked for and even more. She consulted me anytime and comforted me in the whole situation. I was honest with her from the get go and I felt more then good about it My disorderly was taken care of while I didn't' even know it was, and before I knew it I was getting great news that it was dropped, leaving me with enough reassurance to make it through the rest of the debacle . I have a waiting game for a b bit of my case and she is continues to reassure and be there for me as though I am a priority

I had the privilege of working with Shelly Carter during one of the most challenging times in my life—my divorce after 28 years of marriage. From the very first consultation, I felt heard, supported, and truly cared for. Shelly demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism, knowledge, and compassion throughout the entire process. Divorce can be emotionally and mentally draining, especially after being married for so long, but Shelly made sure that I fully understood my rights, the legal steps involved, and my options. They navigated every aspect of the case with confidence and integrity, always keeping my best interests at heart. Shelly was responsive, attentive to detail, and consistently kept me updated on the progress of my case. Thanks to their expertise, I felt empowered to make informed decisions, and the outcome of my divorce was fair and satisfactory. I cannot recommend Shelly Carter highly enough for anyone going through a difficult divorce. Their skill and empathy
