Honest and efficient from the moment you reach out!

Myself and my family have trusted Stephen and his office for years with any traffic violations. His office is thorough and efficient. When they say they have everything they need and will take care of it, they mean it. I have always loved the straightforward ease of knowing that once the informati...on has been sent, his office is going to take it from there. I have and will continue to recommend his office. They are top tier!

Used Shuman Multiple Times Now, 100% Satisfied. Life Changing.

Shuman offices have represented me now twice, my brother a couple times, my mom etc. So far 100% success rate, From Neg 2 feeling like there is no way out of it, to speeding 30 over. i would use him for every moving violation. big or small.

Case Dismissed!

I received a traffic infraction ticket that was a bit out of his normal bracket. Talked to him maybe at least twice and he took care of EVERYTHING ELSE! Super straightforward process & he was very confident despite my ticket being bigger than his average speeding tickets. Thanks Stephen!

My Go To

I have used Mr Shipman for several of my tickets and I'm so happy with the results. They are always very honest about which court is willing to do what and what my probability of success is in advance. I will use him until he retires!! Lol. It is also very reasonably priced.

DISSMISSED

Stephen has been my first choice for all traffic citations since I got my drivers license . He’s been hired on multiple occasions from citations to more and I’ve never been let down . Him and his wife are both so amazing !

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.
