Thank You!

My son got into some trouble over spring break and I called Mr. Lupella's office and spoke with Sarah. She was a tremendous help. She walked me thru the process and the options we had under the circumstances. I felt very at ease with Sarah and did not feel any pressure. I felt like she genuinely cared and was patient with me the entire time. Because of my interaction with Sarah, I came away feeling this is someone I can trust and someone I would have complete confidence in representing me. I would recommend Mr. Lupella to anyone who needed help.

Highly Recommend Shawn Lupella!!!

Posted by

In late 2015 I had one of the worst experiences of my life – I was cited for DUI. My government job was in jeopardy as well as my piece of mind. I immediately sought out T.S. “Shawn” Lupella to provide my defense and WOW, all charges were DISMISSED! From day one Shaw, was very upfront and honest with me about the best and worst case scenarios. It took several months to get the in car video and Shawn stayed on top of it with multiple requests and even deposed the officer. We ended up scheduling a hearing to prove the traffic stop wasn’t warranted. Shawn was extremely thorough and proved, without a doubt, that the officer had no reason to pull me over in the first place and that I was not a danger to anyone. I liked that his payment was one fee no matter how long or short my case ended up being (especially since it took 6+ months). Although it was a very difficult time for me, my experience with Shawn (and Sarah) was outstanding. Now they are working on getting my record expunged! I would highly recommend this office if you need a criminal attorney for any reason.

Excellent & Honest

Posted by

After leaving voicemails for various local attorneys, I was delighted when I called this firm and not only did a wonderful and high spirited assistant spoke with true concern, she immediately set me up for a consultation with Lupella as soon as I could make it to the office. I have no criminal background, I am very young and I expected private attorney's to financially take advantage due to my lack of knowledge in criminal law. I am always concerned that I might be making the wrong decision with any professional, vehicle repair, insurance, childcare, etc. I know this is a hard working, professional, honest man who works hard for his clients, these facts become clear the moment you sit down in the office and have all your worries and concerns validated, explained and Mr.Lupella diligently takes his time to go over your case before giving any expectations or promises just to secure a client. The retainer was made clear and he is upfront about costs and reasons for any additional possible bumps ahead before agreeing to hand over a contract. I was treated as an equal, no judgment and both Lupella and his assistant showed great concern for my financial well-being and family matters concerning my need to retain a lawyer and my ability to handle the financial part, making sure he was right for the job and it was in my best intrest to move forward or not. I am blessed that I called this lawyer and I have no doubts that he will do his best to provide a strong defense. Every penny / material possession I may have is not worth having a record as a criminal for the rest of my life; preventing me from pursuing my career. Trustworthy and honest. Even if you're not sure if you need representation, you will be told with full honesty what to expect and if representation is not needed in your case you will be told honestly, you will not be taken advantage of here. Great people, try this first.

Great Attorney

Posted by

I hired Mr. Lupella to assist me with a DUI charge. He was very knowledgeable on Florida DUI laws and potential outcomes for me. In the end he was able to get my charge reduced to Reckless Driving. He really did a great job for me, I would highly recommend him to anyone who may find themselves needing a good DUI attorney.

“Recently a good friend of mine and her family required the services of an attorney. After some research, she went with Thomas Shawn Lupella. Her decision proved to be a good one! Shawn went to bat for her and her family and the outcomes was good. She has stated many times, that she will refer everyone that ever needs an attorney to Shawn.”

A Real Advocate!

e encountered a family matter that required an attorney. Shawn came highly recommended. We could not have been more pleased. Shawn really listens and works very hard for his client. He is articulate, smart, kind and extremely pleasant to work with. Most important his counseling is well thought out and his execution delivers great results. His office manager, Sarah is an absolute delight. A great team. You will not be disappointed.

A+ Counsel

Posted by

I recently used Thomas Shawn Lupella as our attorney in two different cases. I found very quickly that he was knowledgeable, informed, experienced and proactive. He answered all of our questions, gave us excellent advice, and then quickly moved to implement those decisions. He was thorough and stayed ahead of the game diverting some problems before they even came up. Shawn is outstanding in the legal field. I also found him to be concerned about our well being. He was considerate about travel and time issues and he went above and beyond what is expected of an attorney. As a former teacher, I would give him an A+ and highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.
