My Hero!!!

I was in the biggest battle of my life. My kids, my home, my future were all at stake. I needed and found a hero. Shameka knows the law, she listens, she has a stellar para legal Christy, and she has the experience I needed to win my case. I will be forever grateful for all she and her firm did for m...e. If you want a fighter in the court room with caring heart, you need Shameka!

Excellent

Shameka Hall was a great attorney with Cordell and Cordell. The firm is a bit expensive but well worth the money spent. Ms Hall generally cared about me, my case, and my family. She did everything she could and we ended up with a win. With my case, she never guaranteed a win but she always said s...he would try her best. I feel that she went above and beyond and wasn’t just in it for the money. From the first meeting I could tell I made a good choice. She was direct, upfront, and let me know every obstacle we would face. Throughout the case she made it clear how she would handle each obstacle. It works best to go with her recommendations because she knows exactly what needs to be done and how she’s going to do it.

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.
