Outstanding results

Shannon Edwards was my lawyer on my DWI charges . From the very first meeting where she came to my location to discuss my case she impressed me in her approach toward me and my situation . The first thing she said to me as she examined my arrest paperwork was she thought it could be dismissed for fai...lure to follow rules for my stoppage . That gave me hope where everyone else thought I didn't have a chance to win it . If never had DWI charges then u r in for a conviction on the spot plus all the money charges that go w it . We r talking about upwards to $15,000 plus 3 years of probation and 3 years $1000 year for driving permit . Shannon got my charges dropped in front of a stunned District Judge , two Assistant DA and all in that court including me . Throughout that court case Ms Edwards keep a positive attitude and instructed the District Judge why a motion made by the lead DA was not valid . The Judge had to take time to look it up and had to conclude that Shannon was right . That was so impressive and the motion was dropped and I was free to remove my breathalyzer and all charges were dropped . If u r looking for a attorney that know the DWI laws you can't go wrong with hiring Shannon Edwards . Winning that DWI case was one of the happiest moment in my life and saved me a ton of money and trouble that goes with it . Hire Shannon Edwards to Help u win your case

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.
