Outstanding

I was in the need of a attorney for my case. I ran across several attorneys who I was not pleased with. I am glad that I choose Mr. Locke. He took the time to make sure that I understood everything before he moved on to something else. He is patience and he also communicates with you never leaving yo...u in the dark. He will make sure that he responds to you either by phone or email promptly even in the weekend and made me feel much better about the matter at hand. Another thing I like about attorney is that he will not mislead you. He is very knowledgeable and has already gone farther than any other lawyer to look over my case and till me exactly what my options are. There is no guesswork with this attorney and I like that ! . I highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a dependable attorney. Finally, he represented me excellently in court to get the desired result and I am very pleased and thankful for all his time and effort in for my case, which had a positive outcome.

"Thanks to Shannon Locke"

Shannon was the best choice I made as far as having a lawyer. I am normally a good judge of character,but Shannon exceeded my expectaions. He was very knowledgeable on handling my case. He also seem to have a good team of assistants behind him. Including the front desk! I didn`t have to keep calling ...to find out updates which really meant a lot to me. Either his team or Shannon himself kept me inform completely on my court case. I also found Shannon to be a good listener, which is very important in handling any case. Especially a case that was as serious as mine! I truly feel that Shannon was worth investing in. He gave alternative counsel, which made me feel like it was my choice,but he had my best interested in mind. I knew Snannon Locke was the best choice when I saw that even before I made it into his office to speak with him, he researched some things about my case already. And as far as contacting my character witness, I never had to remind him to do so. His team was right on top of it. With Shannons help, I`m sitting here at my desk in my bedroom. And not behind bars! I couldn`t think of a better attorney! I highly recommend using his services! Sincerely speaking with great gratidude, Felix

God sent me an angel

I want to thank Mr. Shannon Locke for representing me on my case of aggravated assault with seriously bodily injury it was a very tough case. I was kind of skeptical at first because Mr. Locke was up against 3 prosecutors. But when I saw him in action it was then that I realize that I had made the r...ight choice of choosing him as my attorney. He worked and fought very hard to win my case. He is compassionate, helpful & and a very caring attorney, I have been in the medical field for 17 years and can't have a felony on my record. Thanks to Mr. Locke I won't have one, he won my case and it was dismissed, I would highly recommend him because he is a good attorney & a very professional one too. Thank you Mr. Locke and god blessed me with you. You are an angel.

I don't recommend!

I do not recommend Attorney Shannon Locke, at all! I only hired him because he agreed to pursue a path of investigation that I needed done, but he never did this work and he gave my relative and myself wrong information more than once and he even took this out on left field "so to speak" on a road of... complete failure. He refuses to return the thousands that I have paid so I have submitted complaints to higher agencies in hopes they will assist me. I cannot go into detail but please trust me and don't waste money like I did. His favorite words are "I don't know" but we all needing legal service need Attorneys that do know or at least willing to find out. In closing, I hope you are smarter than I was and don't lose thousands like I did.

Agree with low ratings

And so does one of the best criminal attorneys who warned me not to use Shannon. He also ripped us off and kept over $7,500 of unearned fees and refused to return it claiming it was for expenses that he never contemporaneously itemized, billed, or otherwise mentioned until AFTER the demand to return... the unearned fees surface. To date, there is no itemization or receipts. This is State Bar actionable and he knows it. The trial transcript has been reviewed by two experienced criminal lawyers who stated Shannon provided ineffective counsel. And Shannnon if your best response is “must be fabricated allegations,” I’d be happy to publish trial transcript so peers and clients can determine your ineffective counsel for themselves. TRUTH is a defense to publishing this factual review….

I believe that I know who is writing this review. The case being referred to was extremely complex. It involved multiple allegations and took place in Kendall County, Texas, a notoriously tough jurisdiction. We were able to get the allegation of Manslaughter reduced to Criminally Negligent Homicide. I believe that our trial advocacy saved our client years of prison time. I am attaching a link to the publicly available Court of Appeals opinion so that everyone sees the complexity of the case that we had to deal with. https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/fourth-court-of-appeals/2022/04-19-00738-cr.html Still, in criminal defense, many times, we save our clients, but their family members get angry with us because we haven't avoided all consequences. I believe that this is the situation here. I understand that you are angry and that your anger has to go somewhere. However, it is being misdirected. It was clear from the sentencing that if the judge had an opportunity, she would have very likely sent your loved one to prison for much more than the two-and-a-half years he received. I am very grateful that the jurors returned a verdict that did not allow that to happen. As far as publishing trial transcripts I would welcome that. Good luck and I hope the coming years bring you and your loved ones peace.
