“When we were in the stage to find an attorney to help us finalize the adoption of our daughter from the foster care system, we chose Betsy Elsberry.  Betsy did so much preliminary work that when our hearing took place, my husband and I had the utmost confidence that the adoption could never be contested.  Betsy made everything easy for us to understand and did her job as an attorney to the best of her ability.  We are looking forward to Elsberry and Shively representing our family again for our upcoming adoption.”

“I have been a client of this law firm for nearly 10 years. Erica has helped me through a divorce, custody issues, and even a false criminal matter. I feel confident that putting my legal matters in her hands will keep me safe. The support staff is top notch. They guide me through all the legal paperwork, explain concisely what each document means, and even take my opinions under advisement when I think certain wording would work better. When Erica has appeared for me in court she is amazing. She is composed, but there is a passion in her voice that lets me know she cares about my case, and she is fighting for me.

I firmly believe that God had Erica right where she should be, doing exactly what she should be doing.”

“I highly recommend Elsberry & Shively for legal matters. I called Erica when I was going through a tough divorce and custody battle and Erica Shively took my case and worked through every detail with me (and I was definitely a very needy client). She is professional and highly knowledgeable, but more importantly she is honest and cares about her clients. (She’s also a hoot to talk to!). She has a very competent, professional and friendly team of employees as well. I can’t say enough about this group of people.”

In the face of adversity, it gave me a sense of peace and comfort knowing that she was striving for purposeful outcomes every step of the way.
