Results Matter

No one's goal is to be in legal trouble but I got lucky with Shelburn. I chose Mr. Shelburn because of his introduction letter he mailed to me outlining what was currently happening and how he would handle the case. He was the only one out of the slew of letters that I received that looked like he ...had reviewed my case instead of just sending me a generic letter. After calling the office and talking to Chris directly I decided to go with his office for my DUI case. We discussed all of my options and with his experience, went over everything that I would need to do and time frames so that my life wasn't too affected by my case. Because of this, I knew exactly what was going to happen and there were no surprises with my case. The case kept being deferred but he would let me know when I was needed in person for the proceedings. The outcome of the case was a full dismissal. It's a relief to have worked with someone with the experience of Mr. Shelburn to a successful conclusion of my case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
