Thankful for Shannon

I found shannon through google search! Thank goodness that I did! I do not live in the lincoln area. I was just passing through from charlotte to boone while moving. And happened to get pulled over for speeding as well as a D.U.I. I've also had 3 back surgeries and she did her best for me, Not to tra...vel back and forth for court.bc as all cases it got conto me a couple times. Which was fine. I could tell she knew what she was doing from the moment I met with her! She is fierce like a lion! She will definitely get the job done! Thank you so much again Shannon! You rock!

BEST attorney ever!

Ms. Aldous is the epitome of what a defense attorney should be...tough but compassionate; terse but knowledgeable and at the end of the day, she knows her stuff (and definitely better than the client does so don't question her judgement because she knows her craft). Every time I even thought to quest...ion her approach toward my case, I was reassured that she is SO very good at her job that there was no need to be worried. I was facing a first time felony offense drug charge that she was able to not only get plead down to a misdemeanor but she actually got me an even better deal in the end. I actually cannot believe the deal I got! She is thoughtful, puts so much time into her cases and is ALWAYS there for her clients. I cannot tell you how many frantic emails/texts I would send this poor woman late at night and on the weekends, and she was always there to calm me down and to tell me to stop overthinking things...that everything was going to be okay. And she sure was right. Everything was more than okay! Throughout the whole process (from the start all the way down to the hearing), she properly prepared me so there would be no surprises. If you are looking for an intelligent, no-nonense, supportive defense attorney....look no further. Ms. Aldous is it! God willing, this is the last time I will ever need a defense attorney but I would recommend her to anyone ten times over. She is the BEST! And I am forever grateful for her services.

Accessive speed

I just want to say that Shannon Aldous was awesome. I received a speeding ticket on the way to work one morning. I let a couple of days go by and received a letter from her office offering assistance. I called her the next day. She was kind, considerate, and very informative. She told me what could b...e done and I agreed. She had a waiver sent to me to sign (allowing her to act on my behalf). I signed it and mailed my payment. Approximately 4 to 5 business days later I received a confirmation letter from her saying that all had been resolved along with receipt for payment. I didn't have to miss work for court. She handled everything. Thanks again Shannon Aldous. Great job.

Best Lawyer in Nottj Carolina

After my brother had a bad accident last year we hired her because the state was trying to charge him with some outrageous charges. My brother has been disabled since the accident and she did all she could to help his case. I honestly can say she's the best lawyer you can find. She actually cares abo...ut her clients!!

  • 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.
