Lori B. Shelburne joined Gess, Mattingly & Atchison as an associate in 1997. She became a shareholder in 2004. Her principal areas of practice include Domestic Relations, Divorce and Litigation.

Prior to joining Gess, Mattingly & Atchison, Ms. Shelburne worked as an Assistant Fayette County Attorney as a prosecutor of interstate child support matters. Before serving as a prosecutor, Ms. Shelburne engaged in a general practice. Since joining Gess, Mattingly & Atchison, Ms. Shelburne has become focused primarily on Domestic Relations matters including divorce, child custody determinations, child support, alimony, paternity, prenuptial agreements, division of retirement incident to divorce, and domestic violence matters.

Ms. Shelburne handles all levels of Domestic Relations cases, from cases involving a simple post-dissolution review of child support, to complex custody and property division matters. Ms. Shelburne is experienced in analyzing voluminous financial information in cases involving the tracing of non-marital property claims. She routinely works with forensic accounting experts in cases involving the value of closely held businesses or professional practices.
