Posted by Justin | February 21, 2024 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Today I am free

I hired Shawn and he charged a fair price. He walked me through the process in Collin County. Even with a previous record and being sent to prison for a DWI, he did what seemed impossible at first and got me probation for my case. My daughter graduates from high school in May 2024. Thanks to Shawn I’...m a free man and able to be there for my only child’s graduation & the move to college @ Ok St. in the fall.

Speeding Ticket

I reached out to Shawn Storey regarding a speeding ticket I received. 48 in a 35 mph zone allegedly. It was straight forward dealing with him and his price was very reasonable. My only objective was to make this thing disappear. That's it and that's all! Shawn Storey stayed on top of this ...case from beginning to end with great communication along the way. Ultimately the disposition resulted in "CASE DISMISSED"! I'd highly recommend using his services if necessary. Thanks Shawn Storey for going to bat for me on this one!

Posted by Joshua | October 24, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Abuse

Are you kidding?!

I hired Shawn because I had heard that he was a beast in the courtroom. Much to my surprise, he's more like dandelion. My case was very simple; defend the allegations from CPS against my wife and myself. We had the evidence for our case, statements from friends, family, and aquaintences, financial, h...abitual, and medical. Shawn didn't talk to anyone, for or against. He did little more than relay what the other attorney and judge said. WE WERE STANDING RIGHT THERE! I know what was said. We didn't need to pay someone to just stand there and play "telephone"! He did not defend any allegations against us, he didn't follow up with any evidence that we had. Took a lot of vacations though! Damn sure didn't do thousands of dollars worth of counsel. Couldn't fight a loitering ticket from the moon! Horrible disgrace.

I hate to hear that you are unhappy with how your case was going. Treating my clients well and obtaining the best results on their cases is my top priority, as you can see from the other reviews. CPS cases have unique challenges. They also take a long time to complete. This can be emotionally draining for the parents because it is extremely rare that there is a quick or easy way to dispose of the case. There are also multiple appearances in court with no dramatic changes, especially in the first months. During this period I find that diplomacy and picking one’s battles with the other parties in the case is the most effective way of reaching the client’s goals. These cases are marathons not sprints. So, I hope that the case goes well for you. If there is anything else I can do for you please let me know.

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!!!!

Divorce and Separation Legal Advice

After helping me with my divorce 6 years ago, I recently found myself in a situation where legal advice was needed to handle a child support "filling error". Shawn gave me sound legal advice which enable me to file correct court orders and go through the legal process. I was successfully able to reso...lve the situation without having to hire an attorney. Thank you Shawn
