Edward L. Shelby

My son has been incarcerated in midland county and I asked if he could do a bond reduction he said NO then told me he hasn’t got the info on my sons case yet my son has been in jail for 4months my son has not seen this man talked to this man this man has not made an attempt to help my son at all . I ...don’t think this man needs to be representing anyone if he’s not going to do his best to help his clients

Worst experience!! Wouldn’t take my phone calls for years, very unprofessional and unpleasant. Didn’t even tell me about court and I got arrested again on the same charge on a $30k bond. When we met at court he told me he knew I tried to contact him twice this year. He didn’t care about my ca...se and accept my not guilty plea at the hearing, saying that “I am guilty.” I’m not going to plead guilty to something I didn’t do. Better off asking for another attorney from the start.

Very unprofessional. You’re better off representing yourself. I don’t know what his problem is. He doesn’t return calls, his “office” is a locked empty building. He’s VERY disrespectful. He kept calling me “LADY”. Like “look, lady!”, “listen here, LADY” He never returns calls. He never called me bac...k until I threatened to write to the judge, then I got a call back in 2 minutes. He tried to convince me that I have to plead guilty even though I’m 100% INNOCENT. Its my life, I’ll go to jail before I ever plead guilty to something I didn’t do.

He has been my attorney on a 2 year old case and has never once returned a call, email, or 2 letters sent to his office. Now I am going to trial in June because he didn't even get what the prosecutor was offering me either time we went in front of the judge. He had given me wrong plea deal negotiati...ons offered.
