Effective attorney who knows how to overcome legal obstacles

I retained Kevin for a misdemeanor case that was fairly simple but did have some hurdles to jump over. He came highly recommended by another nearby attorney who could not take my case. Mr. Shields knew exactly what to do and got it done. The other positive thing is the way he treats his clients. I h...ave dealt with counsel in the past who lack a sense of humanity and empathy. You will not find that with Kevin. His kindness is reason enough to recommend him but his experience is top-notch. I appreciate all the work he put into my case and my legal outcome was very positive.

Best criminal defense attorney!!!

I was facing multiple years in prison due to some very serious drug charges- I hired Kevin Shields to represent me in this fragile matter and I am VERY THANK FULLER that I did. He was very professional and I was able to get in touch with him anytime I needed to discuss anything. Kevin talked to the j...udge and tge judge agreed to let me enter into a long term drug rehab postponing court until I completed it. Kevin gave me excellent instructions on how to put myself in the best possible position when we went to court. I completed rehab and it was finally time for court. I was sure that without a doubt I was going to go to prison for some amount of time. A friend of mine, who had the same exact charges was serving an 11 year sentence. However, because I completed the rehab and did exactly what Kevin instructed me otherwise. Kevin was able to talk to the prosecutor and in the end the judge agreed to give me another chance at life. I got 6 months house arrest and 5 years probation. This could have turned out so much worse for me, but due to outstanding representation from Kevin Shields, I am free woman, and I have a chance to turn my life around and be an outstanding, law abiding citizen. I would recommend Kevin to anyone!Hands down Best attorney!!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Kevin and I have worked on a serious injury case together, he handled the Indiana aspects of the claim and I was more than impressed with his responsiveness and his attention to detail. I have also recommended to a number of folks for bankruptcy and they were more than happy with his representation. I highly recommend Kevin and his firm."
