Honest, Strategic, and Exceptional Representation

I cannot recommend Shane highly enough. From my very first consultation, he was honest, realistic, and never made promises he couldn't keep. He walked me through the best- and worst-case scenarios, explained the process thoroughly, and was clear that he wouldn't speculate on the likely outcome unt...il he had reviewed all of the evidence. Looking back, I really respect that approach. Throughout my case, Shane and his office were incredibly thorough. They requested additional evidence that hadn't initially been disclosed, reviewed everything carefully, and never rushed me into accepting an early plea offer before they had the full picture. I always felt like decisions were being made strategically, not just to close the case quickly. On the day of my hearing, I walked into court fully prepared to accept a plea to a standard DUI with the aggravated charge being dismissed. After further discussions with the prosecutor, Shane came back with an outcome I honestly didn't think was possible.. the charges were reduced to a reckless driving. It eliminated a DUI conviction from my record as well as all the penalties and hoops I'd have to have gone through and saved me thousands of dollars in fines. What impressed me most wasn't just the outcome, it was knowing that he was prepared to take my case to trial if that ended up being the best path. He gave me honest advice about the risks and benefits of every option, and when he told me this was the offer to take, I knew it was because he genuinely believed it was the best possible resolution. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, respected, strategic, straightforward, and willing to do the work, I would recommend Shane without hesitation. I am incredibly grateful for everything he did on my behalf.

License suspension and reinstatement

Shane went above and beyond in my case which undoubtedly resulted in the result I was hoping for and the best result I could have asked for for. Through the whole process Shane was very responsive and extremely knowledgeable.
