My lawyer was the one calling me every other day to update me on my case. He got me the time served just as I wanted. He did all this while being my public defender. This guy is driven

Matthew Shanks is definitely worth the call!

I contacted Matthew Shanks after receiving a Class B misdemeanor for a DWLI. It was the worst thing that has ever happened to me! Matthew took the time to explain why and how this happened (I was SHOCKED).... I explained to him and that I was pending an official job offer and this was going to keep m...e from getting the job. The very next morning, Matthew went to the court house to get my case dismissed. He immediately emailed me a copy of the dismissal to present to the employer just in case they needed it. He also mailed a formal copy. He held my hand throughout the whole process and provided quick and seamless service. He also worked out a great payment plan. I highly recommend contacting him for any legal help.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
