Review Shelby Thomas

Ward, Ash, Grove

Posted by SantiagoThu Nov 14 2019

Ms Thomas was thorough, precise and professional while she represented me in my criminal case. She also was extremely comforting during a time of uncertainty. I would recommend her again, because I already have once.

Criminal Mischief Case

Posted by TylerWed Oct 02 2019

Shelby Thomas provided a stellar experience with the situation I was dealing with, she was very thorough, direct, and organized. She helped keep my head held high with confidence as she guided me through my case. She is very professional, considerate, and absolutely worth your time.
