Wonderful caring attorney

Shannon was able to not only get my case dismissed but also without any fines or extra community service . Was a 3rd time offense that should have been a felony!!! I would recommend her to family, freinds and anyone requiring a criminal lawyer. Thank you Shannon!!!

She’s the right person in the right position

She dealt with me in a professional way and showed patience and understanding during my many enquiries. she gave me all the time to explain what exactly have happened, she cares about details and takes notes.. Many thanks for her excellent work on my behalf. She were so thorough, persistent, fair and... transparent. I shall always say I had the best possible lawyer to fight my case.

Professional and Reliable

I had the pleasure of having Shannon Drehner as my attorney and she really went above and beyond to make sure I had the best experience possible! She has experience being a prosecutor and that gives her a lot of insight now being a defense attorney. I would recommend Shannon to anyone who needs pro...fessional help.

She’s one of the best I seen in my life time

She’s typically one of the best lawyers I’ve seen in my lifetime and I’ve met a few to be honest and I typically don’t trust them, she earns her trust out the door, this lady seriously has a passion for what she does and people most importantly and you can see in her in every way and then some , when... I initially met her I could not afford her and for some reason she took it upon herself to work with me as far as payments her compassion and understanding is unmatched , in a situation such as anything criminal you actually need someone who’s fighting for you who has compassion who understands who really wants to know if you’re innocent or not and really is dedicated to work for you because in today’s world most attorneys that I’ve seen in my lifetime have only been about a dollar and getting whatever they can get to push and prolong whatever else not knowing the stress and the damage it does to you emotionally and psychologically just going through the procedures, she’s not like that ,she is a way different player in this profession and everything else as a person , this is a very very understanding individual, very understanding ,she actually took the time out to actually see whether I was innocent or not which I’ve seen in most cases most lawyers do not care at all she was one of the first that I’ve seen that ever took the time out to look at you as an individual and not just a case number , she took her time, her communication was great , her details about my case were very spot on I was never left in the blind for a second, like this is very very rare for an attorney in this day and age, trust what I tell you , she was reasonably priced, she was very very very understanding, she is worth way more than she charges Way more and that’s hands-down, I was falsely accused of a domestic violence situation with my ex girlfriend and she like understood my situation to the fullest , she seen clean through my ex-girlfriend, in most cases I’ve seen some very bad Outcomes in situations such as this where attorneys where like I can get you probation and or something else and your innocent, because you get what you pay for and that’s understandable, and she’s not like that , she actually took the time to pay attention to who I was as an individual to see that my ex was really not telling the truth and in the wrong and I was falsely accused, like I said before I thank her so much, this could have ruin my career and things for my family as far as my kids or concern being a single father and so much more , like I deeply advise anyone to hire her first . She is well worth it and then some. You can’t put a price on her professionalism her dedication her punctuality and her loyalty to her job and her client and in today’s world you cannot find that hardly anywhere with the world being the way it is and people how they are today and the key thing when money is involved, thank you so much Ms Shannon Michi Drehner I pray that god continues to bless you and a great deal of others follow in your examples of how you handle you business and clients cause the world needs more attorneys such as yourself

Look no further

ABSOLUTE THE BEST criminal defense attorney in Houston!! She is straight forward, extremely professional and does exactly what she says she'll do!! She is a fighter! Don't just put your freedom in anyone's hands. I had a VERY difficult case charged with a 3rd degree felony caught on video, She was ab...le to drop it to a misdemeanor with no jail time. Unprecedented results! Highly Recommend!
