Magnificent

The law office the absolutely on top of my situations. There has been no one else in my lifetime who gave me the emotional support as the attorneys at the hands of Mr Shatt. Andrew Harding was a professional and a Godsend to my needs. There aren’t enough thanks that exist for my appreciation.

Excellent Attorney and Staff

My wife and I hired Isaac to prepare our wills for us. Isaac and his staff were extremely knowledgable, always prompt in responding to emails, and were excellent in explaining the legal contents so that my wife and I felt comfortable throughout the entire process.

Shutt law firm helped me pull through a difficult stage in my life

I contacted attorney Isaac Shutt about my wife that is mentally incapacitated and kidnapped by her family and taken out of Texas. Mr. Shutt was knowledgeable attorney on the issue of adult guardianship issues. Mrs. Pace and Mr. Shutt was able to file my case with the court within days although al...l other businesses were closed during the ice storm and blackouts. The case was difficult due to jurisdiction issues but Mr. Shutt and Mrs. Pace his co-council persevered through the complexities. Working with Mr. Shutt and Mrs. Pace was reassuring because they worked as a team to help me and my wife. They are a very reputable, knowledgeable and honest law firm and I will recommend them to my friends and families. Mr. Shutt and Mrs. Pace will be the first place I go for my legal needs and questions. I am very thankful to have found them.

Exceptional Lawyer

We went to Issac because of the excellent review rating. I am glad that we did. Issac was very efficient and made the will/trust process effortless for us. He took his own notes during the initial meeting so we didn't have to fill out multiple pages of personal information. Issac did what he prom...ised to do, no less and no more. He charged what he promised, no extra charges. In addition, he was very personable and enjoyable to talk to. We are very critical when it comes to customer service, but Issac exceeded our expectations. He deserves the highest review rating.

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.
