What Our Clients Say

“Shelly is the only attorney I work with professionally and personally, and the only one I confidently refer to clients. She has provided legal services for my company for 13 years, and knowing I can trust and rely on her has brought peace during stressful times. Shelly is strong yet caring, thinks ahead, and plans accordingly. She handles highly emotional clients well and brings a calming presence in a crisis. Having used Shelly’s services and knowing others who have I know she is incredibly competent in several areas of law. I describe her as brilliant and the only attorney I feel comfortable working with.”

Stephanie Pearl
“My husband and I recently used Susan Centeno as our legal counsel to write our will and establish plans for our estate. The pandemic had put us in a state of urgency. We found her services and expertise professional and timely as well as personal. Without hesitation, I would comfortably use and recommend Suzan Centeno in the future.”

I have worked directly with Shelly Cozakos for over 23 years. She is absolutely incredible. I do not do anything in business without Shelly at my side. When ever I am going to start a new business venture she is always my first phone call. She has helped me with everything from Starting businesses, to real estate transactions, partnership contracts, law suites, she even helps my daughter with her divorce and all the child custody negotiations. Shelly is a master at Probate. She has handled not only our Will, Trusts etc but also our extended family as well. Shelly has always been there for us and always goes above and beyond. If you have any legal needs, I highly recommend you get in touch with Shelly.
