Brad is the BEST!
Brad is the BEST!

CDL help
Great communication and was interested in every aspect of the situation to help me. Always answered or returned calls promptly and helped me get a much lesser judgement in court. Would highly recommend!

Professional and knowledgeable lawyer
Professional and knowledgeable lawyer, who aided me in dealing with a criminal case that was a result of profiling. Mr. Shuttleworth was upfront about my options and brought fresh ideas to the table. I could not have asked for a better outcome with the case.

Best attorney I have ever hired
Brad was knowledgeable and thorough, hard working, easy to communicate with, and brilliant in the court room. I recently hired him for a civil case and during the trial Brad was so much better than the other party's attorney. Brad was more prepared, confident, and easily countered the other party's a...

I do not recommend!
Seemed too busy to help me with my case, as a 21 year old dealing with a drug case that involved undocumented informant work, I was shocked at the lackadaisical manner that Brad approached this case. I chose to work with Alva and Associates due to their listing on Law Enforcement Against Prohibition...

Replied last June 11, 2013I always strive to give clients great service, and most importantly, I give them GREAT RESULTS. The only way that a lawyer would "not show up" to a trial is if someone is not actually that lawyer's client. Although I have no idea who wrote something like this, I suspect that person was never a client of mine to begin with. I encourage you to contact me directly so that I may know who you are and address your specific issue. Rest assured, the hundreds of clients I fight for every year experience great satisfaction and communication from me, from the beginning to the end of their case.
