ON 6/7/17 I CAUGHT A AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON THE 3RD DEGREE & RESISTING ARREST WITHOUT VIOLENCE. IM A CONVICTED FELON MANY TIMES OVER, I HIRED A LAWYER NAMED JOSE ON 6/10/17 HE TOOK MY DEPOSIT AND THE VERY NEXT MONTH PURPOSELY HAD A DISAGREEEMENT WITH ME, AND WITHDRAW FROM MY CASE I FOUND THAT LAWYER... ONLINE AND I READ ALL THE REVIEWS AND THEY WERE ALL TERRIBLE, AND BEYOND MY BETTER JUDGEMENT I RETAIN HIM, I FELT BETRAYED BY THE LEGAL SYSTEM. ON 9/28/17 THE STATE OF FLORIDA INDICTED ME. SO I STARTED TO LOOK AGAIN ONLINE, AND CAME ACROSS SHON DOUCTRE, I CALLED HIS OFFICE I SPOKE WITH HIS LEGAL ASSITANCE ANA WHICH WAS VERY NICE AND ANSWER ALL MY INQUIRIES I MADE AN APPOINMENT FOR 10/4/17 BECAUSE I HAD COURT ON 10/6/17. THE DAY I MET WITH SHON DOUCTRE HE WAS VERY HUMBLE SUPER NICE, NOT JUDGEMENTAL BECAUSE OF MY LENGHTY CRIMINAL HISTORY, BUT INSTEAD VERY EAGER AND DETERMENT TO HELP ME. I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE OTHER LAWYER WHO STOLE MY MONEY (JOSE TORROELLA NEVER HIRED THIS GUY). SHON COULD'VE CHARGE ME A LOT OF MONEY BASE ON RECORD BUT HE BLESSED ME WITH THE PRICE HE GAVE ME AND GAVE ME 2 MONTHS TO PAY THE BALANCE. I NEVER SAW SHON AGAIN TILL 12/5/17 WHEN HE CALLED ME I WAS AT MY KIDS SCHOOL PICKING THEM UP, HE SAID HE HAD GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS, BEING THAT IM A NEW YORKER I ASK FOR THE BAD NEWS FIRST SO HE SAIDS BAD NEWS IS YOU OWE ME DINNER, AND I HONESTLY COULD SAY MY HEART FROZE ON THAT MOMENT I WENT SILENT HE ASK IF I WAS THERE AND I ANSWER YES, HE THEN SAIDS YOU NOT GONNA ASK ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS? YES OF COURSE I SAY WHAT IS IT? I GOT YOUR CASE ENTIRELY DROPED CASE CLOSE. I STARTED DANCING RIGHT WHERE I STOOD FROM HAPPINESS I ASKED IF HE WOULD BE IN THE OFFICE THE NEXT DAY TO THANK HIM IN PERSON HE SAID NO THURSDAY SO I LEFT SCHOOL WITH MY 3 DAUGTHERS AND MY WIFE AND RUSH TO HIS OFFICE THAT SECOND.. WHEN I GOT THERE I GAVE HIM THE BIGGEST HUG I HAVE GIVING ANOTHER MAN. ONLY SAW SHON 2 TIMES IN MY LIFE AND HE WILL ALWAYS HOLD A PLACE IN MY HEART. HE DID A MIRACLE WITH ME. AND I AM FOREVER GREATFUL I WOULD RECOMEND SHON DOUCTRE IN A HEART BEAT HE IS THE BEST. THANKS SHON SINCERELY JACINTO

Highly Recommended! Intelligent, Strategic and Responsive Attorney

My 17 year old son received three driving infractions within a month in three counties. I was afraid for him and unsure of his options when I was referred to Shon by a friend. Shon was very responsive from the beginning. He established a plan and put it in motion. Shon was very understanding and c...ompassionate going above and beyond our expectations. I was very impressed with Shon's professionalism and ability to deliver excellent service. We could not be happier with the results of all three cases. Shon gave us peace of mind which is priceless. Whether you are facing a criminal violation or a hefty infraction I would highly recommend talking to Shon before you take action. Super happy with the representation he provided. Thank you for everything, Shon!!

A Genuine man

I had hired Mr. Douctre for a more complexed DUI case that involved an HTO as well. He gave me the sense of security and hope during the 8 month process that anyone needs in the circumstances I was in. I was facing a 6 month jail sentence for the HTO alone with a state prosecutor that would not bud...ge on this sentencing. Mr. Douctre is a genuine attorney who is not in it for the money but is there as your support system and has your true best interest for yourself and your family at heart. You are not a case number to him. He was always there to answer my questions and concerns. Mr. Douctre has the knowledge and experience to know how to fight every case the best possible way. My case as living proof. There is not a moment in my time spent with him that I could question that. Not only did my 3 driving while suspensions be removed from my record, the DWLS that occured during my DUI arrest was dropped completely. The outcome of my case was beyond better than I could of ever imagined. I truly believe and know in my heart he is and was the best man for the job. I am beyond greatful to of had him by my side. Compassionate, professional, intelligent and genuine are just a few of his many traits. I would recommend him to anyone. He is a fighter and will take it as far as he needs to. If you are looking for a super attorney who cares about you and your future, I would look no further. From the day of my consult till the last day of my court he was there for me, relieved all the stress from the arrest and court dates and took it all on him so I could continue with my life. There is not enough good things to say about him. I wish him all the best in life and his practice and I will be forever greatful for his services.

I'll handle your son like he was my own...

One of the first things Shon said to me when we hired him was that he'd look after our son like he would his own. He's done exactly that. His expertise in his chosen branch of Law is second to none. Everything he promised came into fruition. He went above and beyond in all matters and we; as a fa...mily, can't thank him enough. The man is a machine..professional, caring, precise and honest. He doesnt pull punches, and he clearly has a visceral understanding of his chosen speciality. He doesn't leave any stone unturned. Equally as important, he is a true caring gentleman that promised he'd treat our son as his own... And did.

An Answer to a Mother's Prayers

Earlier this year, my 19 year old son had some serious legal issues concerning a DUI. As his mother, I was devastated and confused as to how to help him get this legal matter sorted and processed in the best possible way. His father and I were concerned about finding an attorney that would not onl...y be willing and able to represent my son, but also fight for his future. I did a lot of praying to God for guidance in this matter. Due to his experience and his success handling DUI cases, Shon came highly recommended at the top of the list by several people in the legal field. From the moment of first contact, we knew Shon was the perfect choice for us. My son felt comfortable working with him, and we knew he was in good hands. Just knowing that Shon was representing my son made us all feel a sense of protection, security, and relief. We could tell that he was going to work hard and do his personal best for my son. He didn't make any promises, except that he would do his best. Shon rolled up his sleeves and dug into the case. Shon was always there for us. My son didn't feel all alone and confused. Shon listened to concerns, simply explained and clearly advised us of legal procedures and processes. His representation, advice, and expertise was invaluable. I don't believe we accidentally met; I think it was divine intervention! We couldn't have asked for a better outcome in this case. My son has learned so much and his future is safe and secure. Shon was instrumental in making that happen. My family will be eternally grateful to Shon for his hard work, devoted efforts, and personal care that he exhibited in our case.
