Highly recommended! Shane Phelps made the process as painless as possible. God bless him! Staff was very efficient and professional. Thank you! Definitely would recommend Mr Phelps and his staff!
Mr Shane Phelps was very helpful with explaining the details of my case and got it settled very quickly. You can tell he is very experienced within his field and knows what he’s doing.
I am an Military affiliated and Shane brought me in like family. I was confident from day one that he was going to do the best he could to ensure I was represented and he was transparent and open with all details regarding my case. I ended with a favorable result that I am certain would only have happened with him as representation. Thank you again Mr. Phelps!
I was arrested for a DUI by University police even though I agreed to, and passed, the breathalyzer. I was very nervous about how a bogus arrest could impact my livelihood. Shane had a great bedside manner, listened to my scenario, and gave advice that turned out to be exactly what happened. He even reached out to the DA on my behalf free of charge. I felt so much better after initially speaking with him and especially after receiving the call that my case had been refused. I wholeheartedly recommend Shane and his team. Samantha is great as well, super communicative and knowledgeable. 2 gig'ems!
Mr. Phelps is an extraordinary attorney. From the very moment I first picked up the phone he had an inexplicable way of helping me to feel calm, informed, and protected. He took my initial call after hours, was compassionate in my time of vulnerability, fed me no crap, and was straight to the point. He was honest with me throughout the whole process. He went above and beyond to not only be sure I understood but also felt reassured. If I called him in a panic, I always left the conversation with a sense of relief. He truly humanized this experience which can otherwise be so daunting. I always felt as though I was his only client and had his full attention. He is diligent, determined & hard working. Its for these reasons that he was able to resolve my case which carried a VERY hefty penalty, for no more than community service hours. You will not be disappointed in Mr. Phelps.
If you or your child ever has the misfortune of finding themselves entangled in Texas A&M's Academic Integrity process do yourself a favor and hire Shane Phelps. We were caught in a situation that seemed to have no resolution. Despite our child's innocence, we could not get anyone from the University to listen to us or give us any opportunity to state our case. It wasn't until we got Mr. Phelps involved that there was any movement in the case. Mr. Phelps knowledge of the University processes, people and solid plan to address the accusations against us were critical to ultimately getting the accusations dropped. Without a doubt, Mr. Phelps was the reason we ultimately persevered. I would strongly recommend Mr. Phelps and his team.
Choosing Mr. Shane Phelps for my case has been the best decision ever! I would highly recommend Mr. Phelps as during my interaction with him over the past 5 years I have been amazed by the knowledge he posses, his willingness to help people and help them get justice, and above all I am glad I trusted him completely in whatever decisions he took on my case. 5 years ago, when the incident happened, I was clueless. I did not know Mr. Phelps prior to that incident and an internet search and amazing reviews made me call him late at night (probably 11 pm). He did answer the phone and explained everything then and there! We were panicked, but he was patient and gave us hope and the way ahead. I had never been in such a situation before and now when I am out of college and working and facing immigration paperwork, I realize each day how Mr. Phelps' help on my case has cleared all obstacles and gave me the freedom with respect to getting a job, working wherever I want and on immigration matter
It was a blessing from God that I found Mr. Phelps as my attorney. I met with Mr. Phelps day after I came out of bond. Within two weeks charges against me were dropped. I'll be thankful to Mr. Phelps forever. I would recommend him to anyone without any doubt.
Super easy to work with. Simple and straight to the point. Pricy, but it is only because he is the best in Texas. If you want to win your case or get the best alternative to your situation, i would highly recommend using Shane and his office. They are fantastic, are timely, and work extremely hard. There is a reason his office has won so many awards - they are the best!
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
