D Shackelford Shipp

I worked with Dan on a DWI case and possession case. While we were happy with the results, the billing was huge - a lot more than we anticipated. He also had an assistant talk to us a few times, then when we talked to him we had to explain everything over again and had to pay twice. He also left at least two messages about concerned items to us through someone else in the office and he never got back to us either time. He is a very nice attorney, he did get us decent results, but overall our satisfaction was fair at best.

Dan Shipp helped me out five years ago I received a DWAI amongst other charges while living in Colorado. Through that process, he was very open and honest about what was to be expected and what he could do. He was able to get the "other charges" reduced if not removed all together, and made the DWAI charge as minimal as possible on my record. Dan has also made himself available five years later to discuss the implications that the charge has had on my record. He provided consultation to help identify routes to take when describing the incedent to potential employers free of charge. He has also made himself readily available for the future. I see Dan as not only a lawyer, but a friend. I would recommend him to anyone in the area in need of a lawyer!

He charged me a lot of money for a possession charge, way more than some other local attorneys. Every time I called him to check on the case or check on the date, he charged me for the time at like $450/hour - every single call even if I spoke to his secretary. When I did talk to him he asked questions and let me talk to extend the phone call and bill me more and more money. I don't know if the deal we got was good or not, but it cost me a fortune. He talks about his large ranch and his horses and nice lifestyle - all paid for by his clients. After the case and after I got the small amount of retainer back I called him two times to ask him something and I never got a call back - never followed up when he said he would or when we should file something. He is a very nice guy, but lots of salesmanship and I guess he is a good attorney, but so expensive.
