Shelby Thomas

Shelby is an outstanding lawyer. My case is unique and complex as all other cases. I had to look ahead in the journey - criminal, family law, and immigration law. She consulted me and recommended me the help I would need to make a wise decision for the criminal case. She crafted the best and safest... route for my criminal case, which will have the least impact on the family and immigration cases.

Shelby is fantastic!!! She came recommended by another attorney friend for my situation. I called and was able to meet with her within a few days. The process took a little less than two years! Not her fault she filed all paperwork promptly; the Criminal Justice System works VERY slow!! I will not di...vulge my conviction, but I will say that she had three things to do. She accomplished all three while being undeniably the most ‘down home’ attorney i have ever worked with! Visiting with her is like talking with a good friend over coffee. Never aloof or speaking so much legal jargon that you’d never understand. Shelby is intelligent, professional, compassionate and calming. She figuratively held my hand through the whole process! Her staff is wonderful, just like her. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any legal issues you have. You will not be disappointed!

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 With her recommendations and tangible actionable steps I could perform it allowed her to get the charges withdrawn.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.

I'm from Klamath Falls and the justice system down here has been going through some very difficult times and big changes. After I got arrested I was appointed Phil Studenberg. Wouldn't return calls. His secretary forgot to tell me about a court date that only his team was notified about. In Klamath F...alls all the lawyers are friends and hang out with the district attorneys. It's a small town and they're all in the same circle. If one person thinks you're guilty it doesn't matter what you say or do they treat you like a number. It's guilty until proven innocent if you're not apart of the circle. At that point I realized I needed an expert in the area of sex crimes as they were rape accusations. I reached out to people from Medford, Eugene, Salem, Portland, San Francisco, Sacramento and Bend. Contacted around 30 attorneys. It didn't matter about money all of them except Shelby said they wouldn't take the case due to any excuse they could come up with. Finally after 2 other attorneys in Salem and Portland recommended her I called. What a relief it was when I finally got to talk to someone who actually listened and cared what my wife and I said. Shelby answered the phone when I called or returned my call almost always in the same day. She was extremely transparent. If she heard anything about the case she would immediately call me about the matter. When we had court she was extremely professional and like by the judge, witch in any case is a bonus. We didn't end up going to trial. But she was willing to drive down here for court dates and extensions if I would have felt more comfortable. If you are in the same situation I was in then you need to immediately call Shelby. The entire team at Ward & Grove are amazing. Even with the charges I was facing they treated me with the utmost respect.
