About Shelley
Shelley Fleming attended Cleveland State University and completed her studies there in 2003. She left school ready to practice law in Ohio and built a career tied closely to the state’s courts and legal processes. The early years of her career gave her a practical education in day-to-day lawyering as much as any classroom could.
She practices at Dworken & Bernstein Co., L.P.A., a firm that handles a variety of matters under Ohio law. Fleming’s work has kept her rooted in the state where she is licensed. Over time she has taken on cases and client matters that require steady management and careful attention to procedural detail. Her role at the firm has involved advising clients, preparing filings and appearing in court when necessary.
Fleming maintains current memberships in professional associations. Those connections keep her informed about changes in state rules and practice trends. She attends meetings and participates in continuing education to stay current on developments that affect her clients. That regular engagement with the local bar and professional groups informs how she approaches client problems and case strategy.
Colleagues describe Fleming as practical and direct. She writes plainly in filings and prefers clear arguments over rhetorical flourishes. That approach plays well in state practice, where judges and opposing counsel expect straightforward briefing and predictable advocacy. Fleming’s time in practice has emphasized the mechanics of litigation and client counseling more than specialization in a single narrow field.
She has handled matters across a range of issues that arise in Ohio courts. Her work typically involves guiding clients through procedural steps, meeting court deadlines and preparing cases for resolution or trial. Fleming’s practice relies on careful case management and attention to the specifics of state law.
Outside of hearing rooms and conference calls, Fleming’s professional life is centered on the local legal community. She participates in events and keeps ties to colleagues across Ohio. That network helps her identify resources and strategies useful to her clients.
She currently practices at Dworken & Bernstein Co., L.P.A., concentrating on representing clients in matters arising under Ohio law.
