Excellent Lawyer

Shelby kept me informed on the details of my reinstatement petition and worked hard to help me get my driver's license back. She also took the time to listen to my concerns and showed a great deal of empathy for my situation. I would highly recommend her services and those of her office. Thank you ag...ain, Shelby, for all of your help and support in achieving a positive outcome in my case.

Ms.

Recommended by friends who spoke in glowing terms about Shelby (and her firm), I found her to be an exceptional lawyer in handling my non-DUI situation - from our initial meeting to the case's successful resolution. Shelby was thorough, attentive, a responsive communicator, sensitive to my fears a...s a client facing an unknown legal arena, and adept at gauging what needed to be done on my behalf. I would unreservedly recommend her talents, and could not be more grateful for her professionalism.

Wonderful Experience

I would recommend Shelby to anyone looking for criminal defense. She is a very talented and professional attorney that explained how to deal with my situation in the best possible way.

Communicated Success

Shelby helped me when I was denied a probation extension so I could finish up my community service hours. We were up against the deadline and she acted immediately by contacting the DAs office and filing paperwork with the courts. Within days I was granted my extension. Shelby’s communication ...was superb and I will use her if the need arises in the future.

  • 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.
