Great job!

I recently retained the services of Shawn Cline to represent me in traffic court and found him to be very personable, knowledgeable and professional. I am very pleased with the positive outcome of this experience and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable legal expert.

If you're looking for a attorney to fight for you!!

My name if Mario, I was found not guilty of bogus disorderly conduct charge and I was to share my story. I was looking for an attorney that is aggressive and knew how to fight for me against two aggressive individuals acting under the color of law. I found Atty. Shawn Cline, he represented me agai...nst a bogus charge filed by an aggressive Detective of Hampton VA Medical Center who was acting under the color of law, and a partial to this Detective and an unjust City of Hampton Magistrate Officer who was also aggressive and send me to jail. I stood there and watch him work his magic, and at one-point motion the Judge to stop this Detective and a witness from having a conference. This witness already had their chance to speak freely about the event. This person walks back in the court room to have a conference with this Detective and he immediately put a stop to it. The money spent for Atty. Cline to fight for me was worth every single penny. I believe God sent me to him because he practically saved my life!!!! I personally want to thank him and his team!!!

Professional and Knowledgeable - Thank you!

Mr.Cline's legal counsel and professionalism go beyond expectation; he is timely and consistently easy to communicate with. Mr.Cline advised and provided options based on legal precedent while displaying care and compassion. Showing such a great deal of care and compassion while explaining where one ...stands in reference to the law is not always easy, and is something not commonly found among most attorneys. Mr.Cline's honesty and integrity has made him not only well-respected by his clients, but by courts in multiple cities. I would most definitely recommend Mr.Cline to anyone that requires legal representation!

The Man

Me.Cline provided excellent service for me, he did his very best to make sure that my chargers and outcome was at its lowest and I was offered 1st offenders which will allow my charge to be dismissed in 6 months instead of having this conviction on my record. He’s a awesome lawyer and affordable; an...d would hire him again in the future if needed.
