#1 Criminal Attorney in Oregon

Shelby is brilliant, works tirelessly and helped me navigate the criminal justice system flawlessly. She pays incredible attention to detail, treated me like a family member and knows the law backward and forward. I cannot thank her enough!

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!

I find that Shelby is both through and knowledgable taking time to fully understand the situation.

Excellent professional manner in meeting and following up as she says she will. I find that Shelby puts in the time to such research as may be needed and always follow through as she said she would. Terrific communication skills so that at every turn I was informed and encouraged to ask any relevant ...question which came to mind. I could see that her interactions with the court and prosecuting attorney were mutually respectful and professional a matter highly reassuring as we appeared before the court. I feel fortunate to have this attorney represent me.
