Multiple cases over several years ALL dismissed and expunged

Shane has represented me in multiple cases spanning several years. He got every single case dismissed. He was able to keep me out of jail the entire time as well. He was able to show the judges that my cases were being bright by the police in ways that did not follow standard procedure and therefore ...kept my bonds from being revoked when new charges were being piled onto me. As far as my actual cases, Shane agreed with me that they were weak cases and that I was being unfairly targeted by the police. Not once did he try to persuade me to take a plea. He set everything for trial and was clear we were not going to plead to any of them. All of my cases, a total eight charges stemming from three different episodes over four years, were dismissed and later expunged. One case was no billed by the grand jury, which caused the State to dismiss its companion case, another case was a case of mistaken identity that Shane promptly proved through investigation, and the other five cases he was able to show had been brought by the police two years after their alleged commission and in violation of a promise not to prosecute by state and federal agencies. Shane got the government to admit to and then follow their previous agreements. Shane helped me get my life back.

Great attorney and more importantly, he kept me sane.

Shane took care of my 1st and only DWI case. He got me a great deal and kept me informed and feeling confident the whole time. I was sure my life was over but he got me the best possible outcome, including taking care of my administrative issues after the plea deal, all the while keeping me from goin...g crazy by being confident and capable. I would highly recommend him.

Where is he?

I hired hired Shane about 2 months ago. He helped me with my case, at the time. And now he is nowwhere to be found. I cannot get in contact with him, no email, call, texts, nothing. Ive been sitting here in court for the last 3 hours waiting for him to show up. AND THE JUDGE IS PISSED. SO, that being... said. After today, I will no longer require his sercives, or reccommend him to anyone for anycase.

A brilliant lawyer

Shane helped be out when I really needed it. He’s an adept lawyer who handled my case well, gave me what I feel was the best possible advice and representation, and got me a great result. He put a lot of effort in for a very reasonable fee. Almost as important as this, he took away a lot of the stres...s and worry I was going through, which at the time was substantial. I owe him a lot.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Shane Brooks is one of the most dedicated and talented attorneys you could find. When I served as a prosecutor I witnessed Shane put his heart into every case he handled and fight for his clientsevery step of the way. He is always well-informed about his clients, his cases, the applicable law and the logistics of legal practice that are required to get the results he wants. I am disheartened to see that Avvo prominently notes that Shane had a negative experience with the State Bar many years ago as that situation has been remedied and it is my belief that potential clients who place undue weight upon that history are missing out on the quality representation that Shane would offer to them. I am confident that if you hire Shane Brooks you will not regret it. He will not let you down."
