I hired Mr. Cline for a felony charge. He was late to two different court appearances. One of them ended up having to be rescheduled. He was never actually prepared for my case in any way, nor did he actually read the discovery turned over to him by the prosecutor. Despite a lot of evidence in my fav...or, Mr. Cline was constantly pressuring me to take a plea deal so that we didn't have to go to court. He rarely responded to emails or phone calls and he severely impeded my case. I ended up hiring a different attorney, but in many ways, the damage was already done and I wasted quite a bit of money. Thankfully, the case ended up in my favor in the long run because I hired a new attorney and she was able to "right" the "wrongs" before it was too late.

I called Mr. Cline in a time of need and less than 2 weeks notice. He was able to accommodate and was extremely informative throughout the whole process especially considering my case was not of extreme importance but it was in Circuit court. When the day came and went it was proven I had made a gr...eat decision in asking for his representation. I am very grateful for his help and expertise in the situation and highly recommend him.

Mr. Cline was highly recommended to represent me in Virginia Beach. He was very easy to work with throughout the entire legal process. After receiving the initial retainer he allowed me to pay the rest of his fees in installments. His fee for representation was comparable and competitive to other ...attorneys based on the nature of my criminal charges. The whole process took about 8 months and I was informed as to what was happening on a regular basis. He had a friendly office staff and they always relayed the correct message when he was unavailable. The best part was that he always called me back in a timely manner. He listened to my concerns and explained the plan of action clearly and in terms I could understand. He never over committed on the finally outcome and I respected that. He simply advised what he was pushing for and what he hoped to accomplish in my best interest. I was extremly happy with the outcome which allows me to have a "second chance" so to speak. He was able to have some of the charges dropped and got me the best deal possible for the rest of them. He was well known in the Virginia Beach legal system and has lots on experience working with all on the district attorny's. I would definitely recommend Shawn to anyone.

Shawn Cline is the most professional, diligent and insightful attorney I have ever dealt with. His thoroughness in handling my case was excellent and he was always responsive to my questions, and my calls. He was very good at keeping me informed of the progress of my case. If ever I need represent...ation in the future, Shawn is the man I will call.
