STRAIGHTFORWARD & HONEST!

I was super impressed with him more than any other lawyer I have dealt with. I got in trouble-- criminally. I got Mr. Shiller's name from the bar and called him along with 2 other morons. Here is my review. CONSULTATION: Mr. Shiller talked to me over a half hour and the other the other attorney'...s I called just gave me a price. They didn't want to sit and listen to me. Mr.Shiller told me the process and what I could expect courtwise, etc. He knew the judge I was going in front of and even knew the DAs. He made an appointment for me to come into the office and we talked even further. He was incredibly honest and straightforward. He walked me through the retainer and the charges expected. Note: I have gone to other attorneys and they just expect you to sign and do not want you to understand what you are signing, but he made sure I did. PRICE: Was he the cheapest of those I called? No, but then again he wasn't the most expensive. He was fair for what I was charged with, and I wasn't going to bargain hunt when its MY life at stake. Believe me, you do NOT want the cheapest lawyer on the block because they will lie and tell you they have experience but they don't. (Hence why they are so cheap!) COURT: Each time we went to court he made sure I knew what to expect. This is not like TV. Everything takes time...LOTS of time, and we had to go to court several times. In court, he was amazing, I swear it was like watching Law & Order. He is this big tall guy with a booming voice --Everyone listens when he talks. And he knows how to make sure that the DAs are not trying to play a game. RESULT: Mr. Shiller does not beat around the bust and told me things I did not want to hear, but you know what, he was RIGHT. He didn't just talk big to me on the phone, he delivered and the judge listened to him. Suffice to say I was super impressed with him and would recommend him to everyone if they want the RIGHT lawyer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

  • 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.
