I bought a pole in Tumalo

I was charged with criminal mischief in the second degree , recklessly endangering another person, and failure to perform duties of a driver-property damage. When I met with her for my consultation she laid everything out for me. I've never been in trouble with the law before. She did a fantastic ...job walking me through this process. In the end I ended up doing 40 hours of community service and only charged with criminal mischief in the second degree ( count 1) I'm very happy with the out come. I have my drivers license which is most important when you're self employed. I'm very thankful and grateful to have had Shelby on my side. I will always recommend her! She's awesome! Thank you!

Highly recommend

Shelby was my attorney last year for a criminal defense case. She was attentive; always getting back to my questions and concerns quicker than expected, extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind, and empathetic. She seems to have a very good working rapport with people and agencies within the judic...ial system, reiterating her respected level of skill, knowledge and professionalism. One year after hiring her for my case I was in need of her help with an issue in some classes I was taking related to it. She didn't hesitate to step in to meditate and resolve the problem when she certainly didn't have to. Although I hope to never need her services again, I would highly recommend her to anyone who does!
