Brad was recommended to me to handle a very sensitive family matter about an estate after the passing of my mother.
I could write a very long recommendation about Brad but will put it in a nutshell.
I highly recommend Brad for all the reasons below
* He really listens.
* He communicates often and frequently.
* He answers your calls.
* He makes suggestions when you are upset and want to act stupid.
* He doesn’t drag things out and gets things settled.
* He is professional, sincere and has a natural ability to make clients feel comfortable and relaxed no matter how personal or sensitive your case might be.
When you need help call Brad.
I had been given multiple traffic tickets, many of which weren’t necessary, Brad was able to talk them down to one ticket which helped my financial situation majorly! I highly recommend him, as he will do whatever he can and within his power to assist you with your case

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.

Criminal Case
Brad did an excellent job with a court matter I had recently.
He's a straight forward guy. He knew his stuff.
When I went for my face to face appointment with him his attention was on me and my case. He actively listened to what I had to say.
Over the years I have found these traits rare in attorneys.
He was able to get my case dismissed! Great job Brad thanks so much for your assistance.

If you looking for a criminal defense lawyer look no futher, Brad Shuttleworth is all you need to know. He was very professional but personal. After hearing the facts and a little leg Brad was confident in reassuring me things will work out. No matter the time, day or night my questions were answer. He comes highly recommended.

Brad is an exceptional attorney.
This was the first time we needed an attorney and I contacted him to handle a family matter on very short notice. Feeling a little nervous about the situation, Brad made the process simple and easy. Not only did he get the answers I needed right away, he was honest about the situation and made us feel comfortable about the entire process. He went above and beyond what was asked. He is very knowledgeable, accessible and compassionate and I would recommend him in a second.

PFA Case
Mr. Shuttleworth helped me navigate a PFA (protection from abuse) order against an ex boyfriend. I found Mr. Shuttleworth to be responsive, experienced, honest, and knowledgable. While working with him on the order I felt comfortable sharing the harassment and domestic violence issues I faced. Mr. Shuttleworth was professional and his knowledge of the law and Philadelphia court system brought me peace of mind. With the help of Mr. Shuttleworth we were able to reach a successful outcome that I was satisfied with. To anyone out there reading this thinking about attempting to obtain a PFA order I would not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Shuttleworth and have him on your side through the process.

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 arguments while winning over the judge. He won't let you down. I highly recommend him and would hire him again.

Philadelphia's Top Attorney
Brad helped me with a case related to my business. Although I was a plaintiff, Brad's extensive knowledge as a defense attorney was key to help us negotiate an acceptable resolution outside of court after the preliminary hearing. Brad's technical skills are second to none, he thoroughly knows and applies all pertinent laws. In addition to technical skills, Brad is very strong at helping the client focus on key issues so as not to overwhelm the court. I felt I had many issues, Brad boiled it down to two key issues that essentially put the defendant in a position where they had to settle. Brad's examination and cross-examination of testimony show an amazing speed to process new information and use it to the client's advantage. I feel very blessed to have found Brad and reach a peaceful resolution to an unpleasant situation in business. Thanks again Brad. Hire Brad if you want a happy resolution to your situation.

Fantastic lawyer
We hired Mr.Shuttleworth for a hard case. In return we won. Mr. Shuttleworth had a great personality when we first spoke, very easy to speak to. He explains everything he's going to do with your case, which I loved. Always made you feel like your case was the only one he had but in reality it's not. Mr. Shuttleworth always gets back to every question or concern, very valuable. Fantastic speaker. If we ever needed a lawyer again or if anyone needed a lawyer Mr. Shuttleworth would be our first thought.

He quoted the oj simpson trial
Brad and I went to school together since child hood. I needed an intelligent attorney who could explain my behavor better then i could although when he quoted oj i almost got sick in the court room. Little with no surprise super lawyer Brad v Shuttleworth got me the not quilty I deserved. Brad knows the law and cares for his clients. I pass his name to any who ask. In a nut shell this attorney is worth every cent.

Response from Brad ShuttleworthFebruary 25, 2016
I appreciate the kind words! We worked hard to get to that great result, and I think about it to this day from time to time. The OJ Simpson reference was an analogy to the case where he was convicted of robbery when attempting to get back mementos that he said belonged to him.
In court, I distinguished how this case was nothing like the OJ robbery, and the judge completely understood my argument, and he ruled in our favor. Plus, everyone enjoys a good OJ reference once in a while because it brings back many memories, good and bad, of the guy and the tumult in court and the media over him.
I am so happy that you are happy with the result I got for you. Just call me if there's anything I can do for you in the future.
