A fantastic team and a reasonable cost.

The team at Shawn P. Hammond and Associates handled my divorce case in 2013, and I couldn't be more pleased with the disposition of my case! The team was attentive, diligent, action-oriented, and they worked hard to obtain the best possible outcome for my children and me. I was involved in my case ...and kept well-informed. I felt as if I had an entire legal team at my back, and I suppose I did! While Shawn's partner, Carl Schluter, actually was my attorney (and did a fantastic job!), I realized that Shawn was apprised and knowledgeable of my case as well. It truly felt like a team effort. I was well-represented when I chose to hire this firm, and the results we obtained speak for themselves. Since the divorce, I have hired this firm for additional legal services as well. Their costs are reasonable and provide an incredible "bang for your buck." I'd especially like to thank attorney Carl Schluter, office manager Tabitha Calhoun, and assistant Callie Pagerly for their hard work and dedication to my case.

Looking fora smart, solid, aggressive, quality attorney? Carl is the man you're looking for!

Mr. Schluter represented me in an criminal probation revocation hearing. I called/hired him 1 hour prior to my hearing. He met me at the courthouse. I never imagined I would be getting such top tier representation from a high quality attorney within that 1 hour time frame(I'm still amazed). Carl was... knowledgeable, aggressive, and by far the most ethical attorney I've ever hired. After court I genuinely feel he earned every dollar I paid him. Anyone one looking for a smart, trustworthy, hardworking attorney would be wise to hire Carl. I'm sitting at home (and not in jail) tonight because of his dedication to my case.

I highly recommend Mr. Schluter

My 22-year-old son was driving a friend home from a party one night in the friend's car because the friend had too much to drink. The car had a broken taillight and was stopped by police. The friend had a small amount of marijuana on him and in the car so both he and my son were arrested and charged ...with misdemeanor marijuana possession. I contacted the law office of Mr. Shawn Hammond and was able to meet with Mr. Hammond and his associate Mr. Schluter the following day. After I explained the situation, they were confident in a positive outcome and clearly explained what their strategy would be, what we needed to do, and what our expectations should be. I was impressed with their legal knowledge and friendliness and hired them to represent my son. I especially liked that whenever I contacted their office with a question, they responded right away. Luckily my son's friend was willing to accept full responsibility for the marijuana. He even met with Mr. Schluter, who explained his options. Thanks to the friend's cooperation, Mr. Schluter was able to do the necessary work during the arraignment to get the marijuana charge against my son dismissed and even helped my son's friend to get a less severe punishment than he would have otherwise. I was very pleased with the job Mr. Schluter did on my son's case and highly recommend him to others.

Dependable and Trustworthy

I hired Mr. Schluter to represent me in a criminal traffic case. He did an excellent job and had the ticket dismissed. He saved me points on my license and kept my insurance rates from going up. I strongly recommend him.

Great Job And Great Results

Mr. Schluter handled a criminal matter for me and did a great job. He was very knowledgeable of the law, was well respected by the Judge and had the case dismissed for me. I could not have been more pleased with the results. I recommend him and his law firm highly.

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.
