This review is a bit long but I warn those who are not wealthy or "known". I would never hire or recommend Neil. Sadly, I made quite a few mistakes in life as a young adult and needed help. Neil offered me a free consultation as long as I retained his services. He told me all kinds of great informati...on, promised he'd deliver. Within a few weeks, I retained him w/cash borrowed from family & friends. His "assistant" couldn't find the receipt book that day so she said she would email me. Since then, Neil was unreachable. He didn't show up for court and I was detained. After serving time: whenever I called the office, his assistant said she had no record of me ever paying or being a client and there was no file for me. They knew I needed help with getting funds together. This by far was my biggest mistake. I've learned valuable lessons, and will NEVER hire an attorney again. My faith brought me through, and that's the only thing keeping me out of trouble.

Mr Shouse was hired by me to represent my husband, who was facing nine strikes , three in his former case in six that he had prior to the three strikes law going into effect. Mr Shous went to the jail and visited my husband every other day while he was working on his case . he kept my husband inf...ormed as to everything he was doing with his case, he treated my daughter and I like family and insured us that he would do his best. And that he did !!! . Neil is the most kind , genuine, dedicated , knowledgeable an loving attorney anyone could hire he went out an gave 110% I could not ask for anything more I was very satisfied with the out come he succeeded in getting seven of the strikes dropped leaving my husband to be sentenced as a two striker and he tried to get those dismissed however due to callousness on my husband part Neil had to settle for the two strikes , which he did not want to, although Neil appears meek an mild he transformed right before my eyes when in the court room he became a pit bull that did not want to give up. Thanks Neil for all you've done for my family an I
