Areas of Practice

Gavel and law books

Criminal Defense

Issued a ticket for a traffic-related incident? Charged with a misdemeanor? Facing life-altering felony charges? While this may be incredibly stressful for you, Shelby can help relieve some of this stress for you by guiding you through the process, appearing alongside you at court hearings, and making sure your rights are protected every step of the way.

Juvenile Delinquency

Is your teen truanting from school? Did your child get detained or arrested for a criminal act? Has your child been charged with a crime, as an adult or a juvenile? A child getting into trouble is one of the worst things to deal with as a parent, but Shelby can be there to guide both you and your child through the entire process, teaching your child some valuable life lessons along the way.

Personal Protection Orders

Will your ex-partner, ex-friend, neighbor, or family member not leave you alone? Are you receiving multiple unwanted texts, phone calls, or social media contacts from them? Have you asked them to stop over and over again, but the harassment still continues? A Personal Protection Order can help enforce your boundaries legally when someone will not otherwise respect them. Shelby can help you draft and file the required paperwork for a PPO, accompany you to court, and help with enforcement of previously issued PPOs.

Estate Planning

Death is not a pleasant topic, but there is always a key question in everyone’s mind – what will happen if I die? Will my wishes be followed? If you are looking to memorialize your wishes, Shelby can be there for you through each emotional conversation and difficult moment to draft your estate plan in a way that ensures your wishes will be communicated to your loved ones upon death.
