....a good investment

Stephen explained all the "legalese" of all the documents and after signing he took them in to the prosecutor. He didn't stop fighting for me and the prosecutor decided to drop the case. Thank God and Stephen Shuman! Stephen was a good investment for me!

2 of my traffic tickets got dismissed

Everything was so smooth and easy. I didn’t even spend 10 mins on the phone to communicate and pay over the phone. Especially Valerie took care of things like taking care of her own family. I’m Very happy with result. Highly recommended!!!!!!

The "GO TO COUPLE" for traffic infractions

I have been using this law firm for many-many-many years to represent me for any traffic violations. They have represented me in Mason, Thurston, Pierce and King county through the years. I have referred them to many friends and co-workers because they are truly great at what they do. I have never be...en disappointed with the service they provide. They are both VERY easy to work with and communicate with you in term that you can understand. Every (appx. 10-15) citation I have had them represent me for through the years have been dismissed except for one which was reduced to a non-moving violation. These two are OUTSTANDING!!!!

Every step of the way!

Stephen and Val were absolutely amazing to work with during a very difficult time in my life. From court dates to making sure everything was recorded. I would highly recommend them to anyone for any legal needs. From the beginning I knew I could trust Stephen, I felt better knowing I had someone who ...understood what I was dealing with. I can’t say thank you enough to them!

Highly Recommended - Always a Positive Outcome

I have been using this law firm for years to assist with any traffic violations I have received. I have also referred them out to many family and friends. Not one person I know has ever been disappointed in the service they received. Valerie is super easy to work with and takes the stress right out o...f getting that ticket you just don't want to deal with. Everything I have ever brought there way has either been dismissed or reduced, and that goes for everyone I have referred their way as well. As long as Shuman Law is around, I won't be hiring anyone else.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. As a local attorney, I have known Stephen Shuman throughout his legal career. Over this time, I have referred multiple clients of mine to Stephen to handle their traffic citation matters. I will continue to refer my clients to Stephen because he has always taken care of their matters in a very professional manner and his fees are very reasonable. Stephen is well respected in the Pierce and King County Courts for being well prepared and for his professionalism. I have also hired Stephen to handle my own traffic citations and I very please how the matters have turned out. If I have and future traffic infractions I would trust Stephen Shuman to handle them.
