Excellent friendly service!

Professional, personable, empathetic, effective, knowlegable, and on target are some of the superlatives that come to mind. I know almost nothing about the legal field. So I appreciated my friends recommendation to contact the Shumans. Boy, he was right on. They took on 2 of our traffic ticket is...sues and successfully represented us in court. We definitely recommend Stephen and Valerie Shuman for your legal defense.

THEY GOT IT OFF!

Stephan and Valarie are awesome. They were very upfront about the potential outcomes of my infraction and were sure that I knew they had seen it go either way in thurston county. Would definitely recommend their services.

Truly the best

I have successfully hired Stephen and Valerie shuman to represent me in court for all of my traffic ticket , and traffic/vehicle related infractions for the passed 13 years! Always satisfied beyond expectations. I don't know how they do it , and I don't even care , because I can trust them to handle ...the case professionally. Valerie is the best on the phone , very informative and understanding, and follows through with her agreements . Stephen has been punctual and professional with me (client) and obviously has excellent report with others in the court system. Fully recommend calling for legal counsel/support

Professional Assistance

Mr Shuman expertly represented me when I contested a traffic ticket. He was able to have the infraction dismissed with no fine and nothing to appear on my driving record. His request for information prior to the court date and his promptness notifying me of the results afterward were timely and tho...rough.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I've been using Shuman for all my speeding tickets I've had since 2011! I found them online and unfortunately I'm a frequent flier, aka speeder! But, luckily all I have to do is make a quick call, provide the ticket number and date, contest my ticket and they take care of the rest! It's worth it no...t to have to pay the ticket and keep my driving record clear, and my insurance premiums low!

"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.
