Meet Shelley – Founder of LawOffice Allies

Shelley first envisioned LawOffice Allies nearly two years ago while enjoying a sabbatical in Europe and Egypt. Inspired by the unique challenges facing small law firms and solo practitioners she saw an opportunity to offer fractional support services tailored specifically for the legal industry.

Before launching her vision, Shelley chose to deepen her expertise by continuing to work with ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clients in the family office financial services sector. This experience refined her ability to deliver exceptional, white-glove service — a hallmark of her approach today.

With extensive experience supporting law firms, Shelley is known for her ability to build trust, educate clients, and deliver custom solutions for their complex needs. These strengths now empower local law firms through LawOffice Allies, offering a strong foundation for success from day one.

A Mount Pleasant resident since 1991, Shelley is deeply connected to the Lowcountry community. She is the proud mother of two grown children, Waring and Natalie, and a devoted grandmother to Novella and Lua. A top graduate of Johnson & Wales University (when it was still in Charleston), Shelley is an avid home chef and enjoys cooking for friends and family. When she’s not working, she loves to travel and explore new cultures — the very spark that inspired her entrepreneurial journey.
