Shelly F. Wood

I would like to thank Attorney Shelly Wood and her team for taking my child custody case. From the beginning they listened to everything I had to say, and they approached every step very meticulously. They believed in me and respected what me and my 17 years old daughter was going through. Shelly has been very professional and I felt very confident that she was operating in the best interest of my child. I highly recommend her services.

Shelly Wood is a wonderful lawyer who assisted me with a complex case. She has worked hard for me and understood everything I was going through. I highly recommend Shelly to help with your legal needs.

I hired Shelly Wood for multiple cases, mainly for custody/visitation. I had been told that she was tough, firm and knew her stuff. I had different cases going on at the same time so that was a lot for me and was stressful. Mrs. Wood always could bring me back around when I was flustered and keep me focused. With phone calls,emails,and visits to the office, and there were lots(needed by me). She was always available. One great example is, I really wanted to talk to her and I knew she was on vacation (i think she was even out of the country) so I just emailed her so she would have it when she got back. Shortly there after she was contacting me back and handling issues and sending emails to take care of issues that were happening. She didn't have to do that so I was grateful to have an attorney who was committed to me. Multiple cases were won whether for custody or the way visitation needed to go for my grandchildren, which was the ultimate goal. I'm thankful to her and her staff. Tara S

Divorce is never easy... it is never something you expect when you walk down the aisle.

I never had any doubt that my future was secure and stable in her hands. Her stellar reputation and dedication ensures that you WILL receive the best representation and outcome in a fair and honorable manner. I thank her for her knowledge and guidance during the most stressful situation I have ever faced.. If you find yourself in a position where you need ANY type of legal advice and service... go to her first... you will be comfortable, secure, and quite simply have the best attorney on your side.

I would highly recommend Mrs. Shelly Wood for representation. Asking people that lived in the HR area for decades, Parks Zeigler was the name most repeated. I was recommended to Shelly because the case would be heard in Chesapeake and her office is located across from the courthouse which adds efficiency and reduces fees. Shelly was professional and direct; she questioned my motives in the same manner that opposing counsel repeatedly did. This both ensured that she was arguing my personal interests, but also prepared me for the inevitable speaking rolls that lay ahead in courtrooms that can make or break the entire case. If she felt that pursuing a particular avenue would be more costly than its return, she made that clear from the beginning. I have since had property returned that was previously withheld, equal legal and physical custody of my children, and appropriately adjusted child support: which equals quality time with my children and the ability to provide for them.

I referred to Mrs. Wood by another lawyer, who practiced the very same area of law as Mrs. Wood. It was the best referral and the best decision I could’ve made in choosing a lawyer. She was extremely thorough and dedicated to my case. In addition, she was very responsive with answering all questions presented and addressing any concerns I had. Also, she kept me informed regarding all aspects of my case. She’s a true pleasure to have as representation.

Shelly is Excellent! I’d rather have her represent me than have to go up against her. If I Could give her 6 stars I would. She did an outstanding job representing me in a custody case. She was on top of everything.

When it became necessary for my daughter to hire an attorney, to keep my grandson SAFE from his father, I ask my sister if should contact Shelly Wood? My first c When it became necessary for my daughter to hire an attorney, to keep my grandson SAFE from his father, I ask my sister if I should contact Shelly Wood? My first cousin is her uncle, by marriage! My cousin's mother is my Aunt, and she is in constant contact with my sister and nieces on Facebook! My sister stated that we need to keep these matters " out of the family circle! " I then understood her sentiment and agreed to contact someone else! We contacted Eric Plumlee, an amazing attorney! This case is complicated because my daughter and grandson had lived in Pennsylvania with her husband prior to understanding that we needed to protect my grandson from his father! Shelly lied to the judge regarding text messages and was disgruntled because after advising her on her campaign, I chose not to support her campaign!
