"Chris is an exceptional attorney. I first met Chris when I attended a Continuing Legal Education course where Chris was a presenter. I found Chris to have a robust knowledge of the criminal justice system and the area of criminal defense. As a young attorney, Chris has been extremely helpful to me as a sounding board for issues that arise with my own cases and clients. Chris is thoughtful and helpful, and I fully endorse this attorney!"

"While I have seen several lawyers take shortcuts to save money and time (sometimes at the expense of their clients), I have seen Christopher Shema go above and beyond in work and effort for even the smallest of his cases. Mr. Shema is well respected in his community for a reason, and that reason is that his vast experience, legal knowledge, and work ethic go above and beyond."
