Above and beyond exceptional

Shelby Thomas had been readily available any time I had questions or concerns throughout the months leading up to the finalization of my case, and would respond quickly to my inquires. Shelby was able to work with the DA on a plee agreement that provided an outcome far better than anticipated, and c...ontinues to work closely with me even after sentencing. I would recommend Shelby Thomas to anyone needing assistance with criminal charges of any kind, as Shelby truly is a remarkable and knowledgeable attorney.

MY REVIEW

We hired Shelby Thomas to represent our daughter for criminal charges that were pronounced against her. Shelby has been very communicative all along the process. She has also been available to answer our questions and concerns through email, phone, and in person. She is very knowledgeable in the area... of defense that concerns us. She has also had recommendations of lawyers that are experts in other areas of the law that concern us. To date we have been and are very happy with her representation of our daughter. We are also grateful because we believe that at times she has gone above and beyond what has been expected of her. Thank you, Shelby!

Very professional

She is There all the way through to the end. Made me feel at home through the process. Knows the procedure in all county's. Comfort is the best way to explain the experience. Acts on things right away all county's are different. So when need to move on something she had me ready to face what was in f...ront of me.

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.
