Auto Accident

Mr. Bagget's approach to attain a favorable outcome in my automobile accident case was laid out and executed as discussed with me. He was very professional on our discussions and in court. I was more than pleased with the outcome of my case and highly recommend Mr. Baggett to anyone that needs the ...assistance of an attorney.

Mike. Divorce case

Upon referral to mr Baggett by a friend, I have been completely satisfied with his handling of my case. He has been informative, as well as fully attentive to myself during any questions or meetings I had with him. He helped guide me thru it and always suggested the best course of action, while let...ting me make the final decision. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a true partner that will fight for you and get you thru all of the process, while putting your interest first.

Great Defense Attorney!

Mr. Baggett is a great attorney! I did all the things I now know you aren't supposed to do when I got pulled over, but he still managed to get my DUI case dismissed. Mr. Baggett also helped me keep my drivers license while I was waiting for trial and kept me informed by calling and talking to me hims...elf whenever anything came up. Before this case, I didn't realize that criminal cases take such a long time to get to trial. It was a big help to get to talk to my attorney directly instead of having a secretary call me. I highly recommend Mr. Baggett for any legal issues, especially if you are in trouble with the law!

Posted by Megan | April 24, 2012 | Personal Injury

Very Knowledgable

Shea was extremely helpful in settling my personal injury case. From the date of my injury to the time that I received my settlement, he took care of everything. From the beginning, he provided a clear idea of what I could expect in terms of a settlement and how long the process would take. I would h...ighly recommend him to anyone seeking a personal injury lawyer.

Posted by Melanie | April 15, 2012 | Child Custody

Honest and Knowledgeable

Shea was very professional in helping me with my child custody case. He was straightforward with the facts of my case and didn't try to sugar-coat anything. He always took the time to explain everything to me without me feeling rushed. Shea was extremely knowledgeable with the laws in my county an...d what I should ask of the courts. I never felt like I didn't know what was going on, he always kept me informed of timelines. I would highly recommend Shea to anyone. And hopefully I will never need him again, but if I did, he would be the first person I would call!
