This Attorney is THE BEST! Sholdon is not like the last attorneys I dealt with. Sholdon fought for me today like no one ever has! He stood for what is right! He did not allow the System to take advantage of me. He made sure my mom was okay and that meant the world! He is what Grayson County needs more of!

Definitely one of the best investments I ever made!!!! Very friendly, keeps you updated, professional, great time management. He also very positive and will make you feel like he's really fighting for you. After I hired him he went and seen my fiance in Jail at 10 pm at night. Which in my world mostvAttorney's usally work Bankers hours.... That was the first big impression he made with me. I also was pretty impressed since he littlerly only had an week to prepare for our case and came back with a awsome deal. The prior Attorney informed me, we was looking at 20 months. Thanks to Attorney S

Sholdon is a phenomenal lawyer. During my first call, I could tell he was highly motivated and that won me over. Not only is he down to earth, but he is also very professional. Anytime I emailed him, he responded by email or phone call and answered any questions I had. Every case is different, but he was able to get a better deal than what was initially offered. I can't thank him enough and it was money well spent! Thank you Sholdon!

Only getting a one rating so this review can be written. Save your money and represent yourself before engaging with this unprofessional, lackluster individual. Late for court appearances and doesnt speak up on your behalf! He just made a scene inside the courthouse when he learned he was no longer our representation. Spewed out insults and disrespect in front of everyone. Has NO business being an attorney! NONE.
