A Life Savior

I am beyond thankful to have had Mrs. Shako as an Attorny. If Mrs. Shako is representing you, rest assured that you are in great hands. During trial, she literally controlled the court room. She is well respected by the Judges. It was easy to see who the lead attorny was in the courtroom. I will neve...r forget Mrs. Shako and i hope the most high blesses her for assisting me save my younger brother life.

Thank you so much Mrs. Shako

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 representa...tion and that combination is hard to come around. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a defense attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
