Perry D. Shilts

Perry's philosophy in divorce representation is simple and akin to the medical profession's Hippocratic Oath, "Above all, do no harm!" An attorney's representation and advocacy should not make any case worse than it was before his or her involvement, especially if children are involved. Perry emphasizes the benefits of well-reasoned, timely settlements. Litigation is sometimes necessary, but Perry stresses it should be a last resort after all settlement options are exhausted. Finally, if litigation is required, Perry strives to use his 35 years of experience to present the issues to the Court in a manner designed to achieve the best possible result.
