Daniel Stewart review, September 18th, 2024... I hired Shelby at the recommendation of a local attorney friend and with the encouragement of my adult children. My experience with Shelby has been nothing short of outstanding. I was presented 3 alternatives to 'navigate' the complaint..I took the firm's advice and met with a very experienced counselor in Salem. This was done to ascertain and overview of parts of my character that were called into question. The results were as expected, no concerns. In fact, Shelby told me that the report was the "best" she had seen in her years of working with this particular counselor. From there, Shelby guided me through the succeeding process. She met with the District Attorney to mitigate the 'charge'. That was successful, the hearing was held in mid September. The outcome was precisely what she told me it would be. I found Shelby to be empathetic, very knowledgeable in the process and the law. She was encouraging and supportive, and most helpful to me emotionally. She was always available, spent appropriate time answering questions and aggressively pursued a reduction in the 'charge'. With her guidance, I expect the entire matter will be expunged at the earliest possible date. I cannot recommend Shelby Thomas highly enough. I am completely satisfied with the legal counsel she provided. I always felt she was going the extra steps it took to really help me legally and, of course, emotionally. Thank you, Shelby. Respectfully, Daniel Stewart Bend, Oregon

We had no idea what to expect when our 17 year-old was arrested for trespassing. One phone call with Shelby helped us understand the process and gave us peace of mind. We hired Shelby to help us navigate the juvenile judicial system, but she also came alongside us and our child. Not only did she help us legally, but she helped us communicate with our child in a way that we would not have been able to do on our own. We are impressed with how well Shelby worked and communicated with our teen!

I retained Shelby for a very old case. This case was almost 25 years old! I had a felony warrant for a theft in the 1st degree . I am currently finishing up my last year of nursing school and also live out of state and was unable to appear in Oregon. Shelby was able to get this approved for me to appear remotely. She got a plea deal that dropped the charge down to a violation!!! I have had this charge hanging over my head ALL of these years! It's gone! I will expunge the violation in one year. I am beyond grateful for her help and would HIGHLY recommend Shelby if you are looking for a fantastic criminal defense lawyer!!! Thank you so much, Shelby!
