Review Verris Shako

Thank you so much Mrs. Shako

Posted by

Mrs. Shako was the best attorney I have ever come across because without her, I would be under the jail right now. From day one I had confidence in her and she walks me through everything and she took the time to answer my many questions. Her fees are reasonable and she provide zealous representation and that combination is hard to come around. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a defense attorney.

Tremendously knowledgeable criminal defense attorney and not afraid to take the tough cases. If you are charged with a serious criminal matter you want Verris on your side!

Mrs. Shako is the consummate lawyer. She brings extensive legal knowledge, tenacious advocacy, and remarkable work ethic to the table. Respected by fellow defense attorneys and prosecutors alike, Mrs. Shako is a force in the courtroom; invariably achieving the desired result. I have had the pleasure of working with and observing her for several years. Whether your matter is criminal, civil or administrative, I highly recommend her services.
