Shelly Zeise Overview

Shelly L. Zeise joined the firm in July of 2010 after nearly 20 years of trial practice primarily on behalf of defendants. It was in that practice where she met and opposed the lawyers of Welebir Tierney & Weck who then recruited her to join them representing injured plaintiffs.

She received her Bachelor of Arts degree, with highest honors, from Northern Arizona University in 1983, and then attended the University of La Verne College of Law where she earned her J.D. degree in 1989.

She began her practice, limiting it to insurance defense, with a major Inland Empire law firm where Mr. Tierney also practiced. After 19 years representing defendants, she has embraced "changing sides" and now vigorously represents plaintiffs in personal injury and wrongful death cases.

Ms Zeise is an active member the Riverside and San Bernardino County Bar Associations, the California Bar Association and the Arizona Bar Association. She is also a member of Consumer Attorneys of California. She has been admitted to practice in all courts, state and federal, in both California and Arizona. She is also admitted to the United States Supreme Court.

Ms. Zeise is a native of San Bernardino, California and raised her family in the Redlands. She is active in the community and has assisted and coordinated numerous social activities for Inland Empire firms as well as the Attorney General's Office of Arizona. She has participated in the United Way Campaign and has assisted in the San Bernardino County Bar Association's toy drive for children.

Ms. Zeise is also rated BV by Martindale Hubbell.
