I recently had the good fortune of working with Shuttleworth Law P.C.on a civil case involving myself and my son. Brad explained what the situation entailed, he was quick to connect with me and collect information necessary so that he could respond to the other party. Within two weeks the case was dropped. I am very satisfied with how he responded and very knowledgeable he was with this type of case. I would certainly use him again and highly recommend him if you are looking for a lawyer.
