Life saver

Shelby has been amazing to work with, she did an amazing job cleaning up a mess I was in. With her recommendations and tangible actionable steps I could perform it allowed her to get the charges withdrawn. I would routinely communicate with Shelby via email and I always received a prompt, clear and... articulate response. Which helped calm me down as my case tediously moved through the process.

DUII? Call Shelby at Ward + Grover!

I went searching for legal counsel regarding a simple DUII case. After a few tries to other offices, Shelby's office was the first to pick up - and boy, am I glad they did! She was able to get me in for a consultation the next day and from the moment stepping in her office a lot of the weight from my... case was already lifted off of my shoulders. She explained every step of the process in careful detail, and perfectly executed every step throughout the case. In choosing Shelby, be prepared to be met with professionalism, impartiality, and charisma.

A knowledgeable, skilled communicator

After consulting with Shelby over my options in a criminal investigation, it became clear that hiring her was my best option. Shelby communicates easily and in a reassuring manner when it comes to legal processes and possibilities. Having her in my corner was so important at a time when I felt isolat...ed and alone. I highly recommend Shelby to anyone facing a criminal investigation.

Civil No Contact agreement & Criminal Defense

The specific details of each case were in relation to a Civil No Contact Agreement between a divorce and a Criminal Defense case about a false arrest. Shelby went above and beyond with delivering exceptional customer service from start to finish. For the Civil No Contact agreement, it was drafted in ...order to replace a restraining order. It was cut and dry, negotiation was handled professionally with minimal disagreements and filed immediately. For the Criminal Defense side, Shelby’s attention to detail allowed us to build a strong case in my defense to present to the DA. There were many times I had her explaining things twice to me. Shelby gave me the confidence needed to understand my case details. All of her recommendations were spot on and delivered with kindness and patience. The desired result was achieved. I will definitely hire Shelby and her Law Firm for representation.
