Shelley graduated from the University of Alabama in 2011 with her Master’s in Social Work. After that, she attended and graduated from Faulkner University’s Thomas Goode Jones School of Law in Montgomery, AL, and was admitted to the Alabama State Bar in September 2015. During law school, Shelley gained valuable experience through judicial clerkships, serving as a law clerk for the Honorable J. Greg Shaw, Associate Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, and the Honorable W. Scott Donaldson of the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals. Immediately following law school, she returned to Tuscaloosa where she spearheaded the development and implementation of a comprehensive criminal pretrial diversion program, which she directed until 2022. At that time, she began practicing law in Birmingham where she developed a diverse litigation practice encompassing local government representation, domestic relations, probate administration, and criminal defense. Although Shelley will continue to practice in these areas, she will be primarily focused on local government and other public entity representation, corporate law, and civil litigation. Shelley lives in the Argo- area of St. Clair County with her fiancé and two kids. Outside of the office, she loves exploring the outdoors through hiking, fishing, gardening, cooking and hosting gatherings for family and friends, and traveling to new places. She is admitted to the practice of law in Alabama and in all of Alabama’s federal district courts.
