What Our Clients Say

"Shelly is the only attorney I work with (both professionally and personally) and also the only attorney I feel confident to refer clients. She has been providing legal services for my company for 13 years and knowing I can completely trust and rely on her has brought peace during times of extreme stress. Shelly is strong but also caring, and able to think ahead in a case and plan accordingly. She is excellent dealing with highly emotional clients and has a calming presence in times of crisis. Having utilized Shelly’s legal services both professionally and personally, and knowing others that have used her services as well, I know she is incredibly competent in several areas of the law. I have told many people about Shelly and always describe her as 'brilliant and the only attorney I feel comfortable working with.'”

"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."
