WHAT CLIENTS SAY

I had a great experience with Emily representing my case. She was thorough, engaged, and had an understanding of the justice system. She is passionate and it reflects in her work. I appreciated her keeping me informed and presenting the case eloquently. I definitely recommend her!

We hired Emily Shelton after fighting our case for 2 years and never coming to a resolution. Our former lawyer had no knowledge and would delay and reset over and over again. We met Emily, and from Day 1 she worked extremely hard to get our case dismissed. She charges a fair fee and was worth every dime.

Emily Shelton was awesome, specifically she got the case dismissed with simple volunteer work and restitution which i thought was very fair. We were able to work with the victim and obtain a Non-Prosecution Affadavit which made both sides happy. I would would recommend her to anyone.
