Shillen Mackall Seldon & Spicer

The firm provided great communication and advocacy. The process was smooth and the advice sound.

After a head-on collision, I was extremely stressed and overwhelmed, but Dennis and his team handled everything from start to finish. They were professional, responsive, and worked incredibly hard to get me a great settlement. Having them take care of the details gave me real peace of mind. I’m very grateful for their dedication and highly recommend them!

I have nothing but good things to say about Attorney Seldon. Both him and the staff were excellent. They are so caring and attentive. I would have been so lost without them, and I will be forever grateful to have worked with this firm.

First part of the process has been excellent

Nicholas Seldon was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond for my case and handled a really difficult insurance company like a total pro. He’s smart, determined, and so creative in finding ways to get the best outcome. I’m so grateful I chose this firm, it was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. His team was also incredible, super helpful, and such a pleasure to work with! I’d recommend them a hundred times over!

Dennis Shillen started out helping my husband with a work man's comp claim roughly 30 years ago. Through that process he was very encouraging and gave sound advice. Most recently my husband has past away and I needed to create a new will. I called his office knowing that Dennis's expertise was work man's comp claims but did he have any idea of a lawyer who would be willing to do a simple will? Dennis called back and we set up a date to meet in less than a week! This office is full of knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring people. I highly recommend Dennis Shillen for your legal needs.

In the summer of 2024, I was viciously attacked in my back yard, with my dog on his leash, in the state of NH. The dog that attacked me was off leash. It resulted in me being hospitalized and my life, as well as my family's lives were turned upside down. I was advised to contact an attorney due to the potentially high medical bills, suffering and trauma that this attack caused me. We contacted team Jim. One year from the date of the attack, we were meeting with the team and signing a settlement with the insurance company that the claim was filed against. Team Jim made this experience come to a closure. I highly recommend this attorney. The caring, compassion, expertise was beyond anything you can imagine. They care about their clients.

I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank local attorney, Dennis Shillen, from Shillen Mackall Seldon & Spicer. Dennis is a tenacious world-class attorney, who we are very fortunate to have available to us in our small town of Woodstock, Vermont. My husband and I are incredibly grateful for Dennis’ help when we struggled to obtain a fair settlement from our insurance company after a car accident occurred on our property, resulting in over $200,000 in damages. Dennis is an extremely knowledgeable and professional attorney, who not only possesses outstanding attention to detail, but is also exceedingly communicative, accessible and responsive. He is always available to answer questions or provide information, as well as quick to respond to requests and reply to messages, whether they are telephone calls or emails. Without a doubt, he always had our best interests at heart and would not accept no for an answer when it came to securing a fair settlement on our behalf. He and his highly competent staff are friendly and approachable, and they will go the extra mile in any way they can, treating clients like family. Without reservation, I absolutely would not hesitate to call him again if the need should ever arise.

The entire team at Shillen, Mackall, Seldon & Spicer is fantastic to work with! They put their clients first and genuinely care about helping you win your case. They also give back to their local community. Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 11/10 - Exceptional Legal Representation After getting injured on the job, I found myself in an incredibly difficult situation. My supervisor was hesitant to accept responsibility, especially since another company had equipment on site. While I was still in the ER, I was told, “Every injury is preventable, therefore unacceptable. This didn’t happen on our equipment—so we’re not paying for it.” I knew immediately I needed legal support. That’s when I contacted Dennis at Shillen Mackall Seldon & Spicer—and I’m so grateful I did. Dennis got to work immediately and even traveled to Pennsylvania to help build my case. When my employer refused to cover my medical bills and denied my workers’ comp benefits, Dennis fought tirelessly to hold them accountable. The entire team—Dennis, Kim, and Jack—was outstanding. They communicated clearly, kept me informed every step of the way, and made sure the process was as smooth as possible. They also caught my employer underreporting my hourly wage by nearly $6, which would have significantly reduced what I was owed. Thanks to their dedication and diligence, I received the compensation I deserved. If it weren’t for Shillen Mackall Seldon & Spicer, I’d be stuck paying medical bills out-of-pocket and working a job that didn’t value my well-being. Instead, I had a team that genuinely cared and fought for my rights. Highly recommend them for any personal injury case. Professional, compassionate, and relentless in their pursuit of justice. 11/10 stars.

Need to thank both Dennis and Jack for their amazing work and advice they have given me for that pass few years. 100% recommend to anyone they work hard for their clients to make sure they get what they deserve. You all are amazing!!!

Jack Spicer is my hero. As an attorney with Shillen Mackall Seldon and Spicer he represented me in what can only be described as a David and Goliath circumstance, and he did so with sensitivity, expertise, and professionalism that calmed my fears, and won my case. I cannot say enough about Jack Spicer, and his team at Shillen Mackall Seldon and Spicer! I highly recommend and would use the firm again!

So grateful for all the service I received from Dennis and his team. They all worked so hard along side me, made me feel heard, understood, and well taken care of. They fought for me and what I deserved and I would recommend Dennis and his team to anyone. They deserve 5 stars for their service. Thank you so much!

This Norman Sr u guys did a excellent job on our case i will recommend to anybody who needs a lawyer

I can't thank Dennis Shillen and his firm enough for how much they have helped me through the claims process to reach a settlement. Dennis genuinely cares about the people he represents and will go above and beyond to make sure everyone who has signed on with his firm is getting a satisfactory outcome. This is an attorney who is in this because he cares. He's brilliant, patient and extremely qualified. This firm has gifted paralegals who communicate quickly and well. If you need someone to advocate for you, you are in good hands with this firm. They certainly made my life simpler by taking the lead with my situation. Five Stars!

Dennis and his team are very knowledgeable and thorough. They spent a lot of time making sure I understood what was going on. They made me feel like I was a priority. I am so thankful I decided to contact Dennis and that I had him help me navigate through my workers compensation to get me a settlement that will help me to start fresh after my injury.

I want to thank Dennis and Tina for all your hard work. It was a long 2 years but we made it through. I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with after my accident. I would recommend this law office to anyone that is in need of a lawyer. Thank you for everything. KARA
