The Most Intelligent and Honest Lawyer

Shellie Stephens is by far the most honest and intelligent attorney I have ever met. When I came to her with my legal problem she had an overwhelming determination for justice and let me know of all all the different options I had in order to obtain that justice. She carefully took the time to go ove...r various scenarios and really opened my eyes to more options than I thought I had. More over, Shellie Stephens put a great amount of effort into everything she did for my company. When I thought all that was needed was an email, Shellie took the time and effort to write out a clear and concise letter covering everything needed in its entirety. Ms. Stephens is by far the best attorney that you could possibly hire to represent you in a court of law.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Shellie and I recently tried a case together that was an uphill battle to say the least. She helped tremendously. She has a brilliant legal mind, and is tenacious and ardent as an advocate when needed to be. I endorse her without reservation, and hope to work with her again soon."

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.
