Not recommended

Good person, but not a good lawyer, if your freedom is on the line I do NOT recommend Mr Shepherd not even for a traffic ticket that a lone for a more serious criminal case He ran a one man shop and didn't seem to be able to keep up. He didn't care to learn the case, the material, confused disco...very with a different client. He end up completely derailing our case and end up in a bizard situation where his strategy backfired and end up standing on a witness stand testifying against his own client! He is slow, unorganized, gets flustered and easily intimidated and gets run over by the prosecution. Anything he promised never happened, He doesn't have the fight in him and the go getter attitude. My family trusted him, he was total disappointment.

Super Lawyer

Bradley Shepherd was amazing at guiding me through the whole legal process. The legal implications of what was involved was foreign to me, so having his knowledge and guidance was very important. I was very impressed with his expertise, honesty, and forth rightedness. He explained all my options... in a way that was understandable. He was worth every penny and more. I would highly recommend BSS Law.

Young, Energitic and fighter

Mr. Shepard is an excellent attorney. He is young, energetic and eager to win. He provided me a good counsel about the trail and before that too. The line of communication was always open, and he answered all the questions with details. At the same time, he was answered all the calls and replied to ...my text messages in a timely manner basis as well. I highly recommend him, because he is friendly, flexible, affordable and a fighter attorney. He is a real deal and at the top of his game all the time. Mr. Shepard, thanks for your service and you’re the man. Note: plea is an easy deal and a good way for all the parties, accept the defendant sometimes. So, use your mind see and ask yourself, is there enough evidence to put your ass in danger if yes, no one in the planet will safe you period. If there is none, then be brave and fight till end of the game ✌️
