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!

Worst Lawyer

He NEVER would call to give information about the case, had to call him. Had to repeatedly call to ask information about my case and most of the time he never called back. Only met him twice because he would never schedule meetings and said we could just talk over the phone. There were processes that... I needed to follow which he never told me about. When law enforcement wanted to talk to me, he didn't even come or give me advice. When I finally got a new lawyer I found out that he hurt my case. DO NOT HIRE HIM Unsensitive, uncaring, and highly unprofessional.

Saved my life

In my dealings with Mr. Cline he was professional and showed interest in my case from the very first meeting. He showed me: compassion, respect, and dignity. He was well-prepared, well spoken, and knew the law like it was his first name. Mr. Cline was honest and truly cared about my case and sai...d I was wronged by the city of Norfolk and proved it in court! Mr. Cline saved my life by ensuring I could this ordeal could be expunged from my record and followed through. If you are ever in ANY form of trouble, I recommend that you hire Mr. Cline.

An Excellent lawyer

Mr Cline is anot extremely knowledgeable lawyer who actually cares about the cases he is representing. He represented me in an Assault and Battery and violation of good behavior and I was extremely pleased with his representation of my case. More importantly, I realized he actually cared about the ou...tcome and he made sure I got the decision I was looking for. He was always up front and it was refreshing to speak with a lawyer who didn't didn't give open ended answers, left the outcome of my case a mystery or simply left things up to chance in court. He was always at the top of his business and we'll prepared. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone.

Mr. Cline is the way to go

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.
