Shelly is an excellent lawyer who thinks like a businessman. From his experience and thought process he keeps himself and his client focused on the issues central to solving the problem or getting the deal done. In short, he is cost effective to the point that it is “almost” a pleasure to pay his fees.

In the last twelve months we engaged Sheldon Friedman for a significant Asset Purchase transaction. In order for us to meet our goals and timelines, there were key needs that had to be met, including speed and depth of staff from Friedman, Dever & Merlin. Sheldon’s team exceeded all our expectations and frankly, out performed a renowned Chicago M & A firm by two weeks. We met our financial targets and we received exceptional value from Sheldon and his staff.
