In April 2014, I was side swiped twice by a motorist who was trying to merge onto 3132 from I-49 in Shreveport, LA. I was having a terrible time getting her insurance to pay for my rental and damages from the accident. I was at my wits end. My best friend recommended that I seek legal advice. With in a week from my 1st meeting with Mr. Shadinger, my car was paid for and so was my rental. I highly recommended Mr. Shadinger. He is very professional and even helped me get compensation from the accident that I was not expecting. He was great! I hope I do not ever have the need for a lawyer again, but if I do I know who to call.

Speaking from the opposing party who did a custody battle for 4.5 years with 2 separate attorneys, 3 different judges presiding over our case, mental health evaluations & much more, I can wholeheartedly say that Kelly did her job for my ex (her client) and made me out to be one inch tall when I left court each time. Finally, after 4.5 years I’m willing to admit that she is the attorney I should have gotten from the beginning so my ex could not have gotten her, if for not for any other reason, just so she was off limits. 10/10 recommend for custody cases 🤷‍♀️

By me breaking it up they think that I was engaging in the fight. Can you please help me.. I've never been on probation, community service, nor young marines..

I see a below review stating their displeasure with Ross, and I have to say I am shocked and apt to discredit it! Ross has been so wonderful to my family as well as myself for years. He fought and fought for my dad in his custody case for me when I was a child. He won the case and I can’t be more grateful for his hard work! I do not know where I would be had it been a different outcome! I recommend him to any and every person. If you want an attorney who will fight for you tooth and nail, Ross is the best for you!

These reviews are crap.I know from years of experience w this man as my lawyer from charges of theft to aggravated battery that he is very professional,and really asked for less money than deserved because he knew I didn't have much he even let me owe him the last 500that took me two years to pay back .he took walmart to trial on my theft charge and beat them.seems to me those reviews re likely one person who probably made a pass at him which he blew off and they are feeling some type of way.ALICIA WELLS
