After my husband passed away, and I needed an Estate Lawyer in Marietta, I found Crane Elder Law Firm from a website search. That phone call to her firm was a serendipitous experience for me, when you consider all the law firms I could have chosen. Ms. Elder and her team were a testament to the integrity and professionalism of the law practice, and they were knowledgeable in all areas of the law. They were consistent, patient and compassionate. For anyone apprehensive about dealing with an estate lawyer, I highly recommend Ms. Shelley for their peace of mind. She is a caring leader in our community. I would still want to have coffee with her.

I was dealing with a very challenging situation in which my sick and elderly parents had avoided for years to plan for the worst. Shelley walked me through everything, and in addition to her expertise in family and estate planning, her warmth and caring made a very trying time all the more bearable. Through my multiple emails, questions and calls, it was a breath of fresh air to have a lawyer who remembers you and the details of your situation. She is the human heart in her profession.

My husband and I recently went through the process of updating our wills. We did not know an estate lawyer and decided to research on line. We read reviews and narrowed our choices down to two firms and emailed both. I promptly got an automated response from one firm saying someone would contract me shortly – they never did. I received a prompt response from Elder Law Firm answering my questions, quoting their fees, and offering to schedule a phone consultation. The telephone consultation was pleasant and informative and we quickly decided this was the firm for us. The process was easy, everything explained to us thoroughly, and all the needed documents prepared promptly. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of an estate lawyer.

Being a client with Elder Law Firm has been a satisfying experience. What strikes me about this firm is their ability to act as a professional team. Everyone in the office is willing to step in to meet the needs of the client. That service extends from making copies, setting up appointments, communications with text or voice messages, and yes, appointments on time and conducted in a knowledgeable and professional atmosphere. As a client in need of legal guidance it was a pleaser to work with Shelley Elder and her staff. I highly recommend Elder Law Firm to meet and exceed anyone’s legal needs. Shelley is truly a knowledgeable and professional attorney with the legal experience to meet the needs of her clients.

Ms. Elder worked with my family to provide us with a Last Will and Testament, Power of Attorney documents, and a Special Needs Trust. The attorney is very knowledgeable and seems to really care about her clients. We would definitely recommend Elder Law Firm to others!

I had consulted with various Tennessee bankruptcy attorneys in regards to filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, as a result of my divorce. I was either belittled, insulted or told that it was impossible to turn my life around, through inevitable bankruptcy, by each and every attorney. Shelley had previously assisted my mother, and myself, with legal matters, to include a will and a trust. I turned to Shelley upon returning to Atlanta, and was immediately reassured and confident that we could obtain justice through the court system. As usual, Shelley was extremely cognizant of the law and knowledgeable in all matters. She, and her team, are consistent, patient and compassionate. Shelley has become a friend, who is always available for consultation. My life is literally renewed, through her guidance and expertise, and I am eternally grateful. I highly recommend Shelley Elder, and her team, for anyone seeking an attorney with whom they can trust.

I hired Shelley for my Chapter 7 bankruptcy after my divorce. She and her staff were caring, compassionate, understanding and always available when I had a question. Shelley turned what was a terrifying experience into one where I could actually relax and see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have recommended her many, many times and will continue to do so - she’s one in a million!

Shelley is the best! She is calm, cool and collected because she knows what she is doing. She guided us through our bankruptcy with ease, even in the face of some serious challenges. She has an excellent staff of people who took care of every detail and kept us informed throughout the process. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great attorney.

Office staff great on phone. Ms Elder very professional, caring and really did a great job advising us. Her knowledge of the law was really impressive, and she explained things to us in language we understood! She will be the only attorney we’ll work with in future, as well.

I was recommended by a close friend of over 40 years. So when a friend like that tells you about an attorney that’s trustworthy, you can take that to the bank. Shelley treated us as if we were family and that gave us so much comfort. She took all of our worries away and I don’t know what I would have done without her. So knowledgeable and that’s what you need when you need an attorney. I feel like she gave us a second look at life and that has given me the desire to keep my finances in order and never get in that kind of debt again. You can’t go wrong calling on her if you ever need an attorney!
— Leah, June 2014
Shelley is an amazing attorney. She assisted in my business. I actually don’t know what I would have done without her. She is fair, knowledgeable, the most trusting person I know!!! That is usually not the case for attorney’s I have worked with in the past.
I have and will continue to recommend all her services to friends, family, coworkers and anyone that needs an attorney.
She also can help assist in recommending other attorneys if she can’t help.
— Laura, June 2011
Shelley has been an exceptional resource with an incredible amount of intelligence in her field. Her knowledge in the areas of wills and estate planning are second to none. Her office was very warm and inviting and so were her personnel. I have been incredibly pleased to get acquainted with her and have all of my questions answered in a timely manner to make sure that everything went smoothly. Anybody who needs to update their will should have no problem getting it done quickly and with ease using Shelley. A+++
