I will start my review with a brief history so that you understand the position I was in and the gratitude I am left with following my experience with this office and specifically with Kimberly Shanklin.
I spent 13 years of my life in an abusive / co-dependent relationship that ended 10/2012. The months that followed this event were the worst of my life. One night in March of 2013 as I was trying to "find" myself. I left a group of friends after an evening of Dinner and beverages. I did not believe I was impaired until I found myself face to face with a police officer. I was in turn arrested and charged with a DWI. To some, a DWI charge is just that.....a charge. TO ME; I thought my life was over.
From jail I called the person I had spent 13 years of my life with and not only did he not accept the "collect call" but he took the time to call the Jail to tell them "for me not to call". I felt alone, confused and did NOT know what to do.
I was referred to the Tim Powers office through a friend of mine. I met with Tim powers first and immediately felt some sense of relief. His office is very professional and he himself is very diligent in his work. Through-out the process I was kept informed through phone/email contact constantly by Deborah. They welcomed my MULTITUDE of questions with answers and not frustration. I did not know what to expect as I had never dealt with anything remotely similar to this so I had concerns. As my case began I was assigned to Ms. Kimberly Shanklin. I will admit that I some reservations as I did not know anything about Ms. Shanklin. However those concerns were quickly dismissed. Ms. Shanklin SAVED MY LIFE and she didn't even know it. I will forever be grateful to Ms. Shanklin. Yes, I was charged and eventually convicted of the DWI charge however......Ms. Shanklin was somehow able to work with the DA and as a result secured a "Plea" that I could not turn down. I
cannot begin to share with you the level of professionalism and compassion from this office. There is SOOOOOO MUCH more to my story and I will share it with whom ever asks......but the short of my review ; IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN NEED OF AN ATTORNEY - KIMBERLY NICOLE SHANKLIN is the only choice in Denton County!

With Kimberly, I was finally able to get some sleep. Knowing that my future was in the hands of someone not only so capable, but also passionate, caring and professional was one of the most relieving feelings I've felt in a while. She acts with expediency and grace. She is approachable and she listens. I was on probation for a class A misdemeanor possession of Marijuana and got arrested for a PI and shortly after that a DWI. Kimberly was able to get me continued probation and an extremely short jail sentence of 28 days worth of weekends on a work release program. An incredible bargain (considering the horror stories I have heard about the court I was in) that can be accomplished only through the hard work she exhibits and connections she has made in her career. If you are having trouble getting sleep because of mistakes you have made and are worried about your career, your family and your future like I was, do yourself a favor and hire Kimberly Shanklin, you will not be disappointed.

Attorney shanklin represented me through The Offices of Tim Powers on a DWI case in Denton. I was a handful, to say the least. The decisions I made during her counsel made her defense increasingly difficult, and she had already worked so hard from the beginning. The day I first met with her in court, she had in her hands a thick file with my name on it. I noticed an extensive amount of notes, material, and documents she had gathered- on a misdemeanor DWI case... I thought to myself, "Wow, I never thought so much work would go in to this to help me." She came prepared, and it was reassuring to see the amount of work she had already done on my behalf. Kimberly knew everyone in that court room, and it seemed like she was running the place. She was confident, and for a lack of a better way to put it, I wouldnt want to get in an argument with her- I felt lucky she was on my side.
