A Real One

I met Griffin Shirley when he was appointed to represent my cousin, Kenny Paul, on multiple cases, and I got to see firsthand what kind of attorney he truly is. Griffin fought hard for Kenny Paul and never backed down. He stood his ground, never took the easy way out, and continued to advocate for... Kenny Paul every step of the way. What impressed me most is that Griffin was court-appointed. Kenny Paul wasn’t paying him, yet Griffin represented him as if he had been paid a million dollars. He gave him the same loyalty, dedication, and determination that every client deserves. Our family will always be grateful for the way Griffin stood beside Kenny Paul when it mattered most. He is the kind of attorney you want in your corner when things get tough. I have tremendous respect for Griffin Shirley and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney who will truly fight for their client.

Avvo Rating

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.
