Ms Shipman is the epitome of what you hope for in an attorney... the BEST!

I contacted Ms Shipman after a short research for an attorney experienced in my kind of case. I am so very glad I found her. She was forthright and informative. She took my case and did everything she said she'd do and a lot more. She successfully negotiated an outcome that was so surprisingly favora...ble I was stunned; and it could easily have been so bad. She stayed in touch throughout and kept me informed at every step, and kept me apprised of what to expect each time. Gotta say she's also a very nice person, and what you hope for in an attorney.

The Legal "Ninja" - Katherine Shipman

I've used Katherine Shipman for several different legal needs, everyone was handled with the upmost professionalism, outstanding response time and with the highest level of integrity. My first experience was using her with my divorce Katherine helped me understand my rights and kept me focused on wh...at I was entitled too within the guidelines of the law (this was a difficult time for me and Katherine's attention to detail and her focus on the "end game" was nothing less than amazing. Her knowledge of the legal system help me understand what was required and what to expect, I cant imagine what it would have been like without her. My second experience with Katherine was her assisting me with a "clarification issue" steaming from was wording in a stock purchase agreement that I had made a error in, she intervened on my behave and directed the agreement wording into a complete understanding by all parties (another exceptional job). Lastly I referred Katherine to a personal friend to assist in a unfortunate DUI -issue and Katherine did an exceptional job of preparation, communication and helped mitigate what could have a financially devastating situation. I highly recommend Ms. Shipman, she is truly a credit to the legal profession.

Katherine Shipman vs Crooked Montgomery County Texas

I was arrested on a warrant that the Montgomery County District Attorney, Brett Ligon, filed on me 23 months earlier on a case that was completely dismissed. The DA's office neglected to ever contact me to inform me of this warrant. The bast I can figure, is this is the County's way of giving ...me a little "Gift" to enjoy later. My phone number, E-mail address and mailing address were and are the same as on the original case, and I am a tax paying land owner in this county, and my place of employment are all unchanged. I was take to jail, and immediately posted bail, but I still enjoyed 10 hours in the pokey, as nothing happens fast in there. I interviewed several Lawyers, and hired Katherine Shipman to handle this case. She was clear, concise and was able to clear up the absurdity of the dastardly crooked Montgomery County Texas DA's office unscrupulously cast upon me. Katherines personal knowledge of the inner workings of the Montgomery County Prosecutors and Judges was paramount in the successful outcome of my case.

Brilliant Attorney

Ms. Shipman handled my DWI and Resisting Arrest case, two seperate incidents a week apart in two different counties. Not only did she have the utmost empathy when the system treats you as a derelict, she also got them both dismissed. Outstanding Crininal Defense Attorney--who also cares about the c...ounty and what is going on in it. She is concerned about the political climate and the toll it is taking on the younger generation.

Excellent Professional at work everyday !!!

I highly recommend Katherine Shipman to handle any type of law case that she chooses to handle for anyone. I was refered to Mrs. Shipman by a friend of mine that had used her on his case he was very impressed as i also learded to be. Mrs. Shipman is the most honest and devoted attorney as well as per...son i have ever worked with. The very first attorney I ever really trusted to give her 100 % effort. She is a blessing in the court room while you watch other attorneys walk around back and forth basicly going through motions. When Katherine Shipman is your attorney and she walks into the court room no matter what your case, you are automaticly relieved to see her. She has a one of a kind unique style that I have never seen before. It is amazing to watch her go to every person in a court room and everyone she talks to seems to be anxious to please her wishes and help her any way that they can. She will always keep any client of hers as safe as possible and updated in any way. If she's not 100 % confident what the judge will rule she will give you her best opinion and she has never disappointed me a single time. Mrs. Shipman was handling a 2nd offense DWI case for me, she gave me every scenario from best to worse and explained every detail before and after every hearing, I was never in the dark any form or fashion. We went to court 5 times but I went before the judge 1 time only, Mrs. Shipman did such an outstanding job on my case to where I finally had to ask her : Where does she buy her Magic pixi dust that she uses in the court room to make everyone so pleased to be of service to her ? She told me it's all based on honesty and for that she is very trusted. In the event that i ever need to hire or recommend an attorney: It will be Katherine Shipman, I can't say enough good about Mrs. Shipman, she is simply outstanding !!!
