Eddie G. Shell

Shell and Shell represented me for a contested child custody case recently. I am a father who did not win custody of my daughter and son during the divorce several years ago. With a Jury Trial and representation from Shell and Shell, I was awarded Sole Managing Conservator of my children, which is ...quite an achievement. Eddie Shell has been practicing law or been a Judge in Burnet County for many decades, and is simply the best representation you can get for this county. He knows the laws and the system and how to argue a case the best way possible. Eddie argued my case in court, but I also worked with Bobbi and Victoria outside of court. Most of my correspondence was with Bobbi; she prepared everything and made sure Eddie knew and had everything he needed for the hearings. Watching Eddie select the jury, question witnesses, and argue the case was quite inspiring. I had a strong case to win custody of my children but he argued the case so well that I was awarded Sole Managing Conservator of my children, which was absolutely the right decisions, but there is a big difference in the legal since between getting custody and being awarded the Sole Managing Conservator. I thank God, that when I was looking for representation in Burnet County that 3 different people recommended Eddie Shell and that I chose him. Everybody at Shell and Shell treated me wonderfully; I would highly recommend Shell and Shell. I also feel their rates were very reasonable, they do not nickel and dime you to death, like other lawyers I have worked with in the past. Sincerely, A Client that is truly grateful. P.S. My children are absolutely thriving, at their new school, with a steady home environment.

If I ever need an attorney again (and I hope I don't), I would definitely return to Shell & Shell. I have worked for attorneys for over 30 years. Needing to find an attorney in Burnet County for a criminal / CPS issue, I turned to Shell & Shell. Eddie and Austin worked on the criminal issue; Bobbi... (and Dale) worked on the CPS issue. Both issues were brought to closure during the expected time frame, and both results were the best that could be expected. Attorneys are not miracle workers; it is the client's responsibility to do everything possible to help with their defense. Clients must also remember this important fact: You are NOT the only client. In my particular situation, probation ensued rather than jail time, and the kids have returned home. Very positive outcomes! My utmost gratitude to Bobbi and Dale, and to Eddie and Austin.

I hired Eddie Shell to defend me in a lawsuit about five years ago because everyone in town recommended him (even some of those who didn't particularly like him because he had beaten them on a case). While he didn't spend a lot of time returning my phone calls, the moment we stepped in the courtroom ...I thanked God he was on my side. He immediately established credibility with the judge and jury and left the other attorneys looking like deer in the headlights. It was clear from the moment he opened his mouth that we were going to win, and indeed we did. Flash forward three years and I hired Mr. Shell for a felony indictment. Again, he wasn't interested in spending a lot of time on the phone with me. But as great as he was in my civil case, he was even better in this one. When picking the jury he was absolutely dazzling. He connected with jury members, explaining the details of the trial to them and calling them by their first names. The trial lasted 3 days and I was found not guilty. It was the greatest relief of my life. If you want a lawyer who is always available to return your calls and who is bargain priced, Mr. Shell may not be your man. If you want someone who completely dominates at trial, and who gives you the best shot of winning, i recommend you call Eddie.
