About

After 40 years in practice,most as a family/divorce lawyer, I have surrounded myself with fine lawyers and staff whom I can call friends. I love our office and I believe our clients recognize that we offer a comforting supportive refuge in a time of great consternation. I find myself grappling with what I want to do with my life at this juncture. The LORD has blessed me with an interesting and wonderful life, Sue, 3 sons , 2 grandchildren, and a host of lifelong friends. What can I do to repay the LORD? That’s the most pressing question in my life right now. Presently I am taking a public stand on the gross mistreatment of DREAMERS AND TPS immigrants. Where that leads, time will tell. Mark____: That which you do for the least of mine, you do unto me.

Perry is an amazing attorney who has the perfect mix of compassion, legal knowledge, and skill in the courtroom. He helped me through a very difficult divorce and did a great job. I would highly recommend Perry to anyone going through a divorce.

Very difficult opposing party and counsel.Took ethical high road time and again.Gave me very realistic expectations of what middle ground would look like.Allowed my review pleas prior to court submission. Did a very nice job of tailoring both a provisional order request and marital settlement agreement to my work schedule allowing great time with my children. Understood my need for an "air-tight" settlement agreement (to be tested over and over),and produced one. Won 7 of 7 items before judge.

If you’re looking for an attorney who is caring, knowledgeable, and effective, you’ve found your man in Perry Shilts. Perry is a unicorn in a highly competitive profession and always puts his clients’ welfare at the forefront of every decision throughout the process. As my divorce attorney, Perry represented me in court and throughout the settlement process. He blended his legal acumen, communication skills, and strategic mindset to successfully close this chapter of my life and find a fair outcome for everyone involved. Even though Perry has numerous clients, I never felt like a “number”. Perry is compassionate and always answered my calls and emails within the same day and never left me hanging with uncertainty over the weekend. His support team of professionals is top shelf and works in lock-step with Perry to leave no stone unturned. I came to Perry as a client and left as a friend. You’ll find no better attorney than Perry!

Perry impressed me from day 1 and throughout the entire divorce process. He listened to my story and reassured me that I would be okay. Throughout the divorce process Perry and his super-wonderful team were extremely welcoming, supportive, respectful, and were there to assist me whenever I had questions or concerns. I'm very thankful for the work that Perry and his team did to help me get through an extremely difficult time. I would "Highly Recommend" Perry and his excellent team of assistants to anyone who needs a divorce lawyer team , who will listen, care, and be there for you from beginning to end. Perry's team are simply "Top-Notch" professionals!

During my recent divorce, Perry was referred to me. My first visit was a consultation to see what my options were. He was honest, caring and understanding. I wanted someone that held a Christian atmosphere. I found that in Perry and his office staff. When I left there, I felt as if a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. It felt as though I finally could move forward! His continuing care, compassion, knowledge, expertise, respect continued. We were able to settle without going to court that would have added additional costs. I am thankful that Perry was my attorney during this bittersweet time. His staff also represents themselves in a very professional, caring and compassionate manner. I was able to relate to them without feelings of being intimidated. What an excellent decision I made when I decided that Perry Shilts was the attorney to handle my divorce. I would highly recommend him. I firmly believe that word of mouth is the most positive way to find assistance when it is needed. God Bless and thank you, Perry!

Perry is a highly competent and effective lawyer practicing in an area of law that is difficult and emotionally charged. He was dedicated to finding and working toward solution while being sympathetic to my needs throughout the process. He gave me good advice and kept me informed, all at a reasonable cost. Perry has high ethical and legal standards. He is fair and honest. His professionalism and knowledge are exceptional. I was very happy with his representation.

I live outside of Indiana, in NYC. When my mother (who lives in Indiana) decided that a divorce was the right thing for her, I asked a very smart and well-connected lawyer friend in Indiana for the best divorce attorney in the area. His response was emphatic -- we absolutely needed to talk to Perry Shilts. I did not expect that the "best divorce attorney" would be such a kind, empathic person to work with. In what was an incredibly stressful situation, he made my mom (and me) feel comfortable and at ease from day one, and quickly negotiated our ideal settlement in what could have been a very protracted, painful situation. We also found Perry's fees very reasonable, especially given his reputation. After all is said and done, I can speak for both of us when I say that we are lucky to not just call Perry a lawyer, but a real friend.

Perry's first face-to-face words to me were, "relax, it'll be okay." I was anxious about the process after a 21 year marriage but he was right from the start; it was indeed okay when all was said and done. What I appreciated most was his honesty and calm guidance. In a time when uncertainty was the flavor of the day, it was good to have that reassurance and professionalism.
