THE GREATEST HUG I EVER HAD

Steve Shepard is the best attorney I could have ever asked for. But what I hold dear to my heart is that he is even a better person. I had been falsely convicted of a serious crime and facing life in prison. I hope no one ever has to go through what I went through. I fired my original attorney after ...being convicted. I was living the worst nightmare imaginable, as I had given up hope. But then Steve Shepard came into my life for good. Steve learned of my situation from outside family members, and the next day came to jail to talk to me, and that day was on a Sunday of all days. Mr. Shepherd was able to get me out of jail and on home detention while awaiting sentencing. He cared and realized the horrible crisis I was in and the toll it was taking on my family. From that moment on, he worked for me morning, noon and night. First and foremost, Steve immediately cared about my family and I… and it wasn’t all about money as it is for so many attorneys. It was about justice and a family and community who were suffering over someone they loved. For over a year Steve worked every day on my case leaving no stones unturned, even while working on other cases… and this is not a stretch, believe me, I KNOW. The scariest day of my life, my day of sentencing finally came. As I said earlier, I hope no one ever knows the feeling. Steve’s expertise shined, and the worst day of my life was handled masterfully. Every second of my three hour hearing went flawless. Our year long preparation and sleepless nights was rewarded with justice. My life sentence which the state so desperately pursued, FAILED. Although I was already falsely convicted, (because of my first attorney) Steve presented a case that was so strong by evidence-based experts testifying, all the way through to character witnesses, and finally to my sentencing speech… I received a suspended sentence and left through the same door I entered. Justice prevailed! I am now home with my beautiful wife and my Doberman, instead of a life behind bars, for some thing I did not do. I no longer sit in the dark with tears in my eyes thinking I may never be with my loved ones again…Today everything‘s a little brighter. I have life again… and it’s all because of Stephen Patrick Shepard. Through my family members most notably, my brother and sister-in-law, I believe God and my loved ones in heaven, found a way to get me to Mr. Shepard. His wife also played a crucial role in my freedom. She was always there for me from start to finish as well. I am so grateful. They are now family and always will be. When the judge handed down my sentence, and I knew I was going home, I embraced Mr. Shepherd… THE GREATEST HUG I EVER HAD

Fantastic, Honest, and Compassionate Lawyer

Stephen Shepard is a fantastic, honest, affordable, zealous, and compassionate lawyer - that's something hard to find these days. Stephen and his team at Shepard Law helped me get an early expungement. The case on my record had caused me to be denied several good job opportunities. I called Shepar...d Law and immediately felt at ease knowing that there was hope for an early expungement. Stephen worked with me to develop a solid case to present to the judge. In court, Stephen argued that I should be given an early expungement because of the hardship I was facing. The judge agreed and granted my early expungement! I can't thank Stephen and the team at Shepard Law enough!

Incredible Attorney!

Steve is the best attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney at a great price, then go to S...teve.

Great lawyer even better person

Stephen Shepard was the light at the end of the tunnel in the darkest moments of my life. After submitting my reason for a consultation, his office got back to me within an hour and I was able to explain my situation to Stephen and quickly get an appointment. After meeting with Stephen and talking ab...out my situation I quickly realized why his reviews were so positive. I walked into his office a nervous wreck and left feeling relieved and a lot more confident in my situation. He never mentioned a price until my problem had been fixed and rather than telling me a price he asked me what price would be able to work with my budget. He is a man of the people and works day and night trying to help people and expose corruption. He understands how police operate and will stop at nothing to ensure that his clients are treated fairly by the law, I would recommend him to anyone and have full confidence that they will have a great experience with him too.

Great lawyer

Stephen Shepard was hired for defense of a DUI case in Baltimore county. Upon meeting Stephen he was very professional, knowledgeable, personable, detailed, and patient. Extra time was taken to make sure everything was explained and all questions were answered including what steps to take pretrial. ... We were always made to feel welcome and comfortable. The pay structure was fair and set up to allow everyone to afford proper representation. He was always available and met with us several times to help us prepare for court and to help get expedited acceptance into programs. Honest in what to expect and what reasonable outcomes could be for trial. In the court room he was very confident and offered several options for resolution. Very smart and knows the law well. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer or legal advice.
