HIRING LAWYER SHAMBEE WAS THE BEST DECISION

She took my case in Dupage county in which it was imminent that they would give me time locked up, I got them sentenced to house arrest and in this way I can go to work and my physical therapies that I have after a surgery, I am very grateful because I had 2 lawyers previously and they said that they... could not do anything else and that I had to pay on time in the county jail

Not guilty!!!

My lawyer did her job conerning my case. I was fighting a case that could've ruined my life! Ms. Shambee did her research and studied the case! We went to trial and she used evidence from me and the other side and made the state look bad on their part. I was found not guilty 2 years later. Thanks to ...her, I have my freedom back. I would highly recommend Ms. Shambee

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.
