Incredible help when I’ve needed it

I can’t thank Mr. Shuman enough for helping me with multiple traffic tickets over the years. I am a heavy commuter and we all know how I-5 is. I was most recently involved in an accident, it was called “no-fault accident” by the same police officer who told me that he needed to place someone at fault... despite it truly being no-fault. Why he chose me, when I was technically the one who was hit, is beyond me. Anyway, my history of hiring Stephen Schuman and getting tickets dropped made me run to him once again. I was informed today that he won my case and that I won’t receive any ticket nor will it go on my record. They are friendly, helpful, caring, and SWIFT with responding and communication. I absolutely hate court matters, and I love that he will go to bat for me at a price I can afford without having to face the trauma of going to court myself. I appreciate him and all he and his employees have done for me.

Great for Traffic Tickets

Simple, easy way to get your ticket handled. Answers the phone quickly, sets up payment, and handles the rest. Will recommend him to others!

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.

Exemplary!!

I contacted Shuman Law for help with a hefty speeding ticket 52 over the limit in Lewis County no less. For a small fee they were able to get me a six month deferred prosecution and $175 fine. They seemed a little disappointed that was all they could do for me I was elated to find out the news. They ...stayed in touch they kept me up-to-date whenever they knew what was going on I didn't have to call and Hound them. I got them by recommendation best recommendation I've had in years

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.
