friendly, respectful, for you

after consulting with a few separate lawyers, i chose shelby because of her willingness to explain. being young, the legal system is a difficult thing to work through and understand. i had a million and one questions with no place to start, and a deep hole to dig myself out of. shelby was there for e...very question, insight, and piece of advice i could ask for. she fought for my case and in the end, things worked out beautifully. she is a very kind woman who has a heart that is very passionate about her work - and it shows! i definitely made the right decision and could not be more proud of the work she's done.

Excellent Support

Shelby provided excellent support, guidance, and help throughout navigating my DUI. She answered all my questions in a timely manner, professionally, and with empathy for my situation. I felt like Shelby was my therapist - providing validation for what was for me a very scary situation. I would hi...ghly recommend Shelby to anyone seeking an attorney!

Professional and courteous

Shelby has been representing me with some probation issues. Shelby makes it a priority to stay in great communication and gave me a sense of importance. She has always been helpful, professional and courteous. I would recommend her to anyone. My experience with her has been great. Shelby is a class a...ct and she can hold her own! She belongs to a law firm that has a lot of respect in the community. It won’t be long and she will be one of the top attorneys around.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
