This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Timely Response and Excellent Customer Service

My wife and I used their website to see if we had a medical malpractice case. Kyle Shelton emailed us a response within 15 minutes and we submitted it after 9:00 pm. He did not think we had a case but even still they spent time they did not have to spend explaining the circumstances why and wishing u...s all the best. This is above and beyond customer service and we will be coming back if we have any other potential legal issues.

Great lawyer

I would like to thank Shah & Associates Law Firm for their excellent services in my case. Dr. Zaheer A Shah, Mr. Kyle Shelton, and Mr. Erik Johnson were helpful and extremely supportive since the beginning of the case. Their excellent communication took all stress out of the process. The initial sett...lement offer from the other party was unreasonable. Dr. Shah called and informed me about the offer and we both felt that the amount was unacceptable. He went above and beyond my expectations and attained a very reasonable settlement without going to the court. They explained everything step by step and always answered all of my questions. They were always available through phone and email. They kept me informed of all the details that were related to the case. I am very fortunate and delighted that they were able to handle my case. I would highly recommend Shah & Associates Law Firm to anyone.

My Medical Malpractice Hero

When I was hurt five years ago by doctors that I trusted in Casa Grande, I had no idea who to turn to. I read about Dr. Shah and Kyle Shelton online and met them both. I could tell right away that Dr. Shah, with his medical knowledge, was able to figure out how the medical malpractice happened to me.... From that point forward, I knew I was in great hands. Kyle and Doc have treated me like family. I spoke with Kyle on Christmas one year, just to talk about my case. Kyle and Doc told me that they only take the cases where doctors clearly broke a safety rule and where someone has been seriously injured. That is what happened to me and I am so glad I have them in my corner. I have seen Kyle in action in court, and he is smart and means business. They have pursed justice for me and continue to pursue justice for me 100%. I can't recommend Kyle enough. You would be a fool not to go to Kyle and Dr. Shah if you have been the victim of malpractice.

Armando, Thank you for your kind words. One of the interesting things about working medical malpractice cases (like yours) is that due to the many years they take, we get to know our clients as if they are family. I remember that Christmas phone call and I appreciate you treating me (throughout this process) like a brother. I'm honored that I was able to help you through this and so appreciative that you gave me that opportunity.

Medical Malpractice

I was the victim of a retained medical device that had to be surgically removed from my body. I was referred to Shah and Associates where Kyle is an associate attorney. He is an amazing lawyer and a great negotiator. He fought for me from day one. And in the final mediation, he was able to get a sett...lement for me that far exceeded my expectations. I sat in on the mediation for the whole day and got a chance to see Kyle up close and personal. He was very effective in pushing for more money because he really understood the medicine behind my case. He was really good at negotiating and stayed at it all day to get me a settlement that far exceeded my expectations. I would recommend him to anyone!

Kyle James Shelton

As life goes sometimes bad things happen and it is never at the right time. I had an unfortunate accident that required 4 surgeries and rehab over a two year period. My attorney, Kyle Shelton was there with me throughout this ordeal and supported me with advice and accomplished a fair settlement wi...th the insurance company. I am happy and comfortable to recommend Mr. Shelton to anyone that needs an honest attorney with high integrity. Sincerely, Dr. Conrad
