My mother was just diagnosed with cancer so she needed to get her affairs in order. Mr. Shelnutt went above and beyond what we expected. He even came to the hospital so she could sign all of her papers after she was admitted. This firm really cares about their clients.

I was going through a divorce with my ex-husband and these lawyers were excellent. My ex was abusive to me and was fooling around. They were able to get me primary custody, a good property settlement and alimony. My ex-husband didn’t have a problem being abusive and threatening with me but he met his match with these guys. I know this sounds childish, but it was nice to see him get put in his place. They did great in and out of the court room and their fees were reasonable. I would hire this law firm again in a split second.

The BEST by far!!!

I was not sure if i needed an attorney after a car wreck, i learned very quickly that I did not have time for the games the insurance company wanted to play. After hiring The Shelnutt Law Firm they took it from there. Not only did I no longer have the hassle, but I was able to get much more money than the insurance company tried to offer me before I had an attorney!!!! I will certainly be using them again if I ever need an attorney..

Overall

I was in a motorccylce accident after a moving van pulled out in front of me. I had a severe head injury, broken ribs and broken wrist. I initially hired another firm in Birmingham to handle my case. It was a firm that advertises on every television station, billboards, etc.. My thought was that if I go to a bigger firm in a bigger city such as Birmingham or Huntsville, then I will find a better attorney...right?? Well, I was WRONG!! It didn't take me long to realize that these big firms are "client mills" trying to bring in and settle as many cases as they can. I was simply a "number" to the Birmingham Firm. I met with several attorneys in Gadsden but Mr. Shelnutt made me feel comfortable and it was clear that he knew what he was talking about. I fired the other firm and hired the Shelnutt Law Firm. From the first day, it was obvious that I had made the right decision. They did everything they could to help me and I got a great settlement from the insurance company that was over 2 times what the Birmingham firm had told me my case was worth. Another plus is that their fees were actually a little cheaper than the Birmingham firm. Mr. Shelnutt does stay busy and is in court a lot. However, I NEVER felt he was too busy for my case. Also he has a good size staff who are always there to help. They are nice people and he is a good, honest lawyer. You won't go wrong hiring this firm. I can't comment on the other areas of law they practice but I think they also do social security disability claims and criminal defense, divorce and some other areas. I will hire them for any future legal problems.

I have applied for my disability serveral times and used Pitts and Zanaty. I was denied and felt it was hopeless. I knew someone that had just gotten approved and they had used Mr. Shelnutt. He was able to get me my disability without another hearing! His staff is exceptionally helpful and very knowledgeable. I would not recommend anyone else. Thank You to The Shelnutt Law Firm.

I'm unsure who the person is that wrote the prior review but they could not be more wrong. I'm guessing that it's someone they sued and got money from in a case. lol. This law firm did an excellent job in my automobile accident case and I spoke with Mr. Shellnut and his staff members several times after hours. According to my wife I'm pretty hard to please but these guys did a great job. Very nice people and I would definitely hire them again. I also know several other people who have used them that were satisfied.

Dont expect this law firm to do anything. Shelnutt is NEVER at work, the girl answering the phone is awful and nobody knows anything about my case. I am worse off than before I hired this guy. What a joke.
