Shawn the Great!!

I needed a good and experienced attorney to tackle a custody issue with my ex who relentlessly sent harassing messages and would have been a danger to have around my toddler. He handled the matter diligently and I was completely at ease after speaking to him. Once we were at court he was able to ge...t my husband and me in and out quickly with out me having to speak to my ex who is very high conflict. I was more than satisfied with the outcome as well. I want to also mention Shawn worked a case for someone I knew nearly 20 years ago and this man was looking at a lot of time in prison. Because it was an accident, Shawn was able to get him probation and save him and his family from a lot of grief. Besides being a very easy person to talk to, he knows the ins and outs of the court system and is definitely knowledgeable on all kinds of court related questions and cases. He also cuts out all the middle men and you can call him directly on his cell which is nice. For anyone with a legal issue reading this, seriously- call him. He’s worth every penny!!!!

Realistic Approach

Shawn Storey has represented me in both a child custody/divorce and a DWI case with favorable results in each. He has a down to earth approach, assesses all of your case details, and presents you with realistic options and potential outcomes. I find him to be very knowledgeable of the various courts...' processes and shares this information with his clients to keep them updated. As well, his pricing is pretty reasonable in comparison to other attorneys within the area. I highly recommend people to contact him for representation when feeling uncertain on pending legal matters... the peace of mind, alone, is well worth it.

Ecstatic!!!

Mr. Storey helped my husband get the best possible deal for his criminal case. He got the most important charge thrown out.. We are very happy with his work.. He was surprisingly fast as to getting everything handled... We will and have referred him.. We are actually waiting for my husband to get out... and then we will use him again, for a custody case... I was very impressed...

Strong, firm representation

I am a single father and found myself in a position where, because I did not have a legal order in place, I was not getting access to my children anymore. I was giving money to my children's mother, and I had zero control over when I could see them. I had reached a point to where I knew that I had t...o take legal action and hire an attorney to help me with the process of placing myself on child support in order to accomplish the goal of being back in the lives of my children. I had heard about Shawn through a friend and am very happy that I made the decision to hire him to represent me. Throughout this process Shawn was very thorough, and always made himself available to me when I had questions. Shawn did a fantastic job of clearly communicating the step by step process and preparation to me, as well as always handling the remaining details. His thoroughness up to the point of the hearing was excellent, but where I feel he shined best was at the actual hearing. His questioning and cross examination was superb. I would highly recommend Mr. Storey to anyone seeking representation in a legal matter such as this. Thank you, Shawn, for holding a strong frame throughout this difficult process for me. Thanks to you, I have been able to enjoy being back in my boys' lives again.

Highly Recommend- Reliable, Effective Attorney

I would highly recommend Shawn for a variety of legal matters. I have been under his guidance for over five years for both criminal and family matters and he has been extremely successful in handling my cases in a way that left me more than pleased. This is why I have continued going to him for any... legal matters. I recently received a Class B Misdemeanor theft charge, which seemed impossible to have lowered. Shawn was able to have the charge dropped to a Class C Misdemeanor (meaning I can have it expunged from my records), keep me from having to serve any jail-time and even from having to go on probation. The judge on my case even stated that I had a "very good attorney that knows what he's doing". Shawn has also been great about explaining my situation to me, as well as what I will need to do from there on. I'm currently working with Shawn on a custody case regarding my daughter. He has been able to remove a great portion of the stress from the situation by keeping me from having to go to court. He did this by making an agreement with the other parties attorney. He has also been on top of keeping me posted or requesting updates from me regarding the matter.
