Great attorney

This guy means well he definitely did a excellent job on my behalf he had my rights restored against a very very mean and bitter prosecutor...I would suggest if you want to get your firearm rights back hire him..

Don't judge a book by its cover

I was facing horrible charges for felony child abuse and misdemeanor assualt on a family member. Although Shawn was not the senior partner at the firm he was assigned to my case. I was a little worried at first because I had used the senior guy previously on some restraining order defenses so I had a... history with the other guy. But Shawn proved to be best option after all. He is a true professional and a good listener as others have commented but he is much more. He is a sleeper in the court room. He is kind and soft spoke . He does not come off arrogant or intimidating. He does not make his clients look like they have a high price scumbag lawyer or anything but more like a young cheap lawyer that appears to be non threatening and easily likable by juries and witnesses. He did his research and presented a strong case. He was easily able to get the witnesses comfortable and expose their lies to the jury. He was a true professional and a pleasure to watch him work in the trial. I was found not guilty by the jury in both charges. The jury deliberated in record time and quickly had a not guilty verdict in my case. After court some of the jury even nodded to me and one of my witnesses heard a juror relating to what I had gone through with the false accusations. Shawn is a great lawyer and did not disappoint. I will gladly use them in future for any legal needs I have.

Shawn Mihill - Criminal Defense

I have had retained attorneys in the past and I can tell that Shawn is an attorney who is a master at listening and comprehension. He immediately understood my legal situation and provided me with perspectives on how he can approach resolving my issue with the best outcome possible. In fact, I droppe...d the previous attorney I hired before getting Shawn. After I finished discussing the details of my case with him (and this was just over the phone) he was able to clearly summarize in detail what I had just told him. He immediately understood my situation and arranged to take my case and get him retained. He was proactive in gathering facts and evidence that helped us build our defense. Communication with Shawn was always seamless especially when you need updates from him. His delivery was always direct and calm without having to beat around the bush. Ultimately, my case was dismissed and he was able to get the assurance of the prosecutor that they will not bring the charges back against me. I will definitely retain him again should the need for legal representation arise in the future. Thanks again for everything you did for me Shawn.

DWI, 1st Offense

First off I cant thank Anderson Law enough for helping me out and allowing Shawn Mihill to represent me in my case. Around the holidays i was arrested in Gloucester for suspicion of DUI. Spent the night in jail and had to have my parents bail me out and knew that I was in a bad spot. We got in touch ...with Anderson Law because we felt that the documented BAC was .07 (under the legal limit in Virginia) Shawn Mihill took my case and this man could not have been more clutch. He did all the research on my case and got the footage from my arrest and put together a fantastic case. I was looking at a possible fine, driving classes, a bump in car insurance and a license suspension regardless if we decided to take the agreement so it was we go for it all or take the prosecutors deal. Not only did we win the case but I had no fines to pay, nor court costs for that matter. The case that Shawn put together was immaculate. The case was soo close the judge said that both parties made great points and ruled in our favor due to the fact we had more of a case than the prosecutors. Shawn gets a 10/10 easily. He's a highly educated lawyer. The way he spoke on the phone and the way he carries himself confirmed that. The guys a straight shooter and if I had to recommend an organization (lawyer in that organization) it would be Shawn Mihill. Hopefully I won't have to get involved with anymore legal issues but if I do I know just who to get in touch with. Best $800 I've ever spent.

Fire Arm Rights

More that 30 years ago I was convicted of a felony. I had got my voting right restored, but not my fire arm rights. I made the mistake of trying to do it myself, and got denied. Shawn walked me through the process, beat back the prosecutors arguments, answered the judges question. Handled his self li...ke the pro that he is. And now I can finally purchase and own a fire arm to protect me and my family. Great job Shawn. When I need legal advise again, I will call you first. Thanks you are the best.
